Today we install a GoPro on a brand spanking new track steer as we start our adventure in land clearing.
Why the Kubota SVL75-3 Is Built for This Work
The machine in this video is our Kubota SVL75-3, and it’s become the backbone of everything we do at iLandClearing.com. It’s powered by a 74.3-horsepower Kubota diesel engine with strong torque, and it’s rated to handle a bucket breakout force of over 6,100 lbs — enough muscle for clearing brush, moving material, grading, and digging without slowing down.
What really makes it earn its keep is the Advanced Multifunction Valve, which lets us run the bucket, loader arm, and auxiliary hydraulics all at the same time. That matters a lot when we’re running attachments like a grapple, auger, or mulcher head — smoother, more responsive control means faster work and fewer stalls out in the field. The sealed cab keeps dust and debris out of the operator’s space, which is no small thing on a dusty Texas job site, and the 2-speed travel gets us moving quickly between spots on larger properties. Whether we’re clearing raw land, cutting a trench, building a road, or working a straight-up construction project like a parking lot or a sports facility, the SVL75-3 is the machine that gets it done.
Why We Use a GoPro Hero 13 to Document the Work
Every project we run gets documented, and the GoPro Hero 13 Black has become our go-to camera for it. It shoots up to 5.3K video at 60 frames per second, which gives us plenty of resolution to crop, stabilize, and edit footage for our YouTube channel without losing quality. HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization is the real workhorse feature here — mounted on a piece of equipment that’s bouncing over rough ground all day, in-camera stabilization means the footage comes out smooth without needing a gimbal or heavy post-production work.
It’s also built for the environment we actually work in. The Hero 13 is waterproof and rugged enough to handle dust, mud, and vibration on a job site, and the longer-running Enduro battery means it can keep rolling through a full day of clearing or trenching without constant battery swaps. Mounting it inside the cab, like we show in this video, gives viewers a real operator’s-eye view of what a project actually looks like from start to finish — which is exactly the kind of footage that makes our project videos useful to people scoping out their own land clearing jobs, not just fun to watch.
