I love the bobcat c100 I don't have a single problem

Ditch witch mechanic here the bushings on the Ditch witch should last well over a 1000 hours depending what the machine is doing if your ramming rock pile and hitting buildings yeah 500 hours but if your just loading rocks and not beating the hell out of it they will last along time some land scape guys never need to replace them now the tree service guys just beat them to death ramming into stuff all day every day

"They are both awesome" "One is 5 grand cheaper" There. I saved you 30minutes.

Thanks for update

Hey Richter Landscaping, hope all is well. I’d like to ask, how is the ditch witch sk800 doing at this point in time since the time you bought it?

id like to buy the boxers 427

$25,000 for the new ditch witch SK 800,4 years ago! Nowadays you can’t find a used one with 1000 hours for that price🤦🏻

Do u have any issues loading to that trailer? I have one but I’m kinda skeptical about loading since I think it’s kind of high

I just got my sk1050 and love it

How much did it cost new?

what is the price on the vermir machine??

Best mini loader in the industry and the undercarriage is light years ahead of every other company.We own a rental company in ny we have a 755 and 2 sk800s bulletproof machines .Used to own a bobcat mt55 and mt85 never again put thousands into the undercarriage .So happy we turned over to the ditch witches 4 years ago.If there was a negative about the machine I would say I wish there were more dealers in our area.Our nearest dealer in 350 miles away Jesco in jersey and getting parts can be a bit of a pain.

You currently have this same Mini?

Hey man you ever had issues with the park break switch?

Great review to watch prior to purchasing a new unit. Thank you Sir.

AWESOME VIDEO ! I BOUGHT DITCH SK755 NEW PUT 6 K HOURS ON IT , SOLD IT / BOUGHT SK 752 .NOW 1500 HOURS PAID IT OFF / JUST BOUGHT SK 800 . JUST PUT ON 180 HOURS ON IT , LOVE THE SK'S

Man how did you get them to leave the machines lol... when I was shopping vermeer and dw the reps were like its cool well wait here for an hour.

You have any videos using the backhoe attachment ?

Thanks for putting this out there! Love the long term reviews 👍

Great review thanks!

Ditch witch with joysticks = more precise controls, easier on wrists to run all day. Vermeer = narrower machine, easier to go through a gate

Vermeer doesn’t get my vote in Australia. They are far to pushy at a sales level. Due to this and a better price it was a no brainer. I brought the Ditchwitch

I hate the toro dingo controls

That was a really good review. Thanks

If you want to move the Vermeer without standing on it just C clamp the saftey thing permently down, lol. Problem solved. I have used both machines and liked the Vermeer better overall. The controls on the ditch witch were actually a little too squirrelly for my skill level which made for some spills and mistakes. The vermeer controls were smoother and more progressive which I liked. Also the ditch witch bogged down when trying to pivot sharply in soft dirt, and also a bit of delay in the response at times. Also had the same experience with the bucket not dumping quite steep enough to dump dirt quickly, had to wait for it to fall out or shake the bucket and it was dry loose dirt. The ditch witch doesn't have sides which makes it quick and easy to jump off and on when you're working and you'll notice that right away. However it is nice to have the protection of the Vermeer so kind of a toss up there, but it takes a bit more time to step around the sides when getting on and off.

SK 3000 PICKS UP SK 800 LIKE A BAG OF CHIPS ! th-cam.com/video/P4xf4yRv5V8/w-d-xo.html

Very good comparison. Appreciate the pros and cons. Think I would go with the Ditch Witch too.

TORO owns ditchwich now how sad I have a sk650. Lil beast is awesome

do you have an opinion on single joysick vs. two sticks?

Wher l can find 1

Mind sharing who makes that bucket on the boxer? Thanks!

Excellent Review. Thank you.

The arms on the boxer looks like toothpicks

Looks like you do not like your boxer, it’s like if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything ..... that boxer looks like a budget build, would buy a used Vermeer or DW over boxer... toro 2000 with extending arms is a top of line and will stand toe and toe with any other brand... for your landscaping company a used dingo 420or 425 in good condition is best option, 31k machine to till/soil condition and do sod prep is CRAZY, plus that doesn’t include attachment, stupid crazy 40k plus with 1 attachment then a 4K trencher attachment unless your smart and sub that out to a irrigation outfit that solely (only does sprinkles, do it faster better and warranty work, it’s hard to compete with a team installing irrigation system5 days week, guys doing sprinklers are either naturally mechanically inclined or day or ditch diggers specials, some people don’t have the ability to do it at a professional level(ALOT OF COMPANY INSTALL SPRINKLERS SLIGHTLY ABOVE DIY LEVEL, nowhere near a professional skill level lack craftsmanship and experience. Best to sub irrigation out, and you continue improve your efficiency and quality of landscaping, be the best grader and sod layer( most time spent on prepping ground and getting grade correct, install drainage in correct place(irrigation company can come in and do that part also) for small to mid size company’s doing it all becomes stressful and can overwhelm you. NO SMALL OR MIDSIZE landscaping lawn care business (2-7full time employees, 2-3 crews, with 2 trucks on road daily and 3 truck for new landscaping or small 1 truck lawn care ,1truck landscaping) should purchase a new 40k stand on mini skid period.... two options for this group of companys 1-find a good company to rent from locally owned rental company’s will give you best price if or once they realize you will be a repeating customer and the company gets equipment back that hasn’t been abused. 2- look for a good used mid to late 2000’s (2005-2010) model year dingo 420 or 425 gas or diesel most will be junk and on last leg but wait long enough and you will find one nice under 10k, and one 12-14k with 1-3 attachments. TAKE NOTE: if you buy and take a 40k debt on and your not a BIG company that will be using it daily or at least 1-2days weekly your making a bad choice..IF YOUR 40K MINI SKID IS SITTING AND NOT BEING USED WEEKLY YOUR LOSING MONEY EACH AND EVERY DAY ITS SITTING, so before going and spending 40k ask yourself, do I rent one atleast 1 day a week, do I currently use my old boxer or bobcat weekly(and not just weekly in season but yearly) if both are a yes, then that 40k investment will pay for itself in 4 to 5 years, and still be in good enough condition to use another 5 years with NO RENTAL FEE’S so that’s $400 extra each job....... but I can tell you I to often see these machines being used very little and also see companys trying to keep them in use (on jobs one is not needed)..... and yes maybe you got a handshake from a home builder or developer and you will be doing all his work, LET JUST SAY THOSE JOBS ARE GIVEN TO A COMPANY THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE FOR THE LOSEST PRICE (profit margins are so low you basically break even and those jobs are for keeping jobs to keep employees )AND THE WORK NEEDS TO LOOK ONLY Acceptable keeping crews busy while the company waits and hopes for a profitable jobs..... that handshake may last 1 or 2 years but you get have 2or 3 more years to pay it off...... if you can use that Vermeer weekly on remodeling landscaping year around YOU GOT IT MADE, only work with high enough profit margins that financially makes sense to maintain and keep newer equipment.... I see lawn care guys just starting out buying a 20k walker mower and only have his own yard and 2 small accounts..... now with a walker mower it double productivity.... new mini skid vs old mini skid highly doubtful it will cut your job time in 1/2........... so think just how faster is the Vermeer over boxer, is boxer reliable? If so keep using what you have, will spending 40k make your jobs look better? Highly doubtful unless it has some crazy grading system on it... keep boxer and go buy a WALKER RIDING LAWN MOWER ( best finish cut and bagging system on the market for the past 30 years, no other company has come close) toro tried to copy setup and failed badly.

Have you tried the Vermeer CTX1000! If so, what did you think ?

Just curious, which machine did you finally go with? And if you don't mind, what was the bottom line price.

Uummm uummm uummm uummm....you really need to rewind and listen to yourself, very distracting, at best.

Thank you for this review, you save me a lot of time figuring it out which one to buy .

Some good comparison material! Thanks for sharing. Was the bigger boxer not available? Just curious, I’m looking to get a mini, I do tree work and buggered my back pretty good. The closest mini dealer is nortrax who deals with boxer. Vermeer and DW are 8 hours away.

Great review. You were fair in your appraisal. But please be aware that in this big wide world, Toro Dingo, are not true Dingo like the original built in Australia. We have all heard the bad mail on the Toro Dingo. Happy digging

How did you like the boxer with those paddle controls? I’m thinking of getting one since I’m just starting out :)

Hi guys, I’ve had the ditch witch for over a year now. 205 hours on it at the moment. No issues so far. To clarify a few things. The bucket that I used on this demo is not the ditch witch bucket so the dump angle was off. The 52” dw bucket I got with the machine dumps perfectly. The machine has not thrown a track yet and Maintenance has been a breeze. I highly recommend it. If you have any more specific questions let me know.

Good video. Can anyone tell me if the auxiliary circuits operate when the operator is not standing on the platform? I have an attachment with an external hydraulic control valve located on the attachment which requires continuous flow to the attachment when the operator is not on the platform. I'm sure this safety feature could be bypassed, but doing that would not be appropriate on a rental.

How much would a good used Boxer 427 like you have cost?

Hell of a video man!

Great review nice one

Good Stuff Man i Like The Ditch witch Sk800

I'm sorry but vermeer is way better !!! by far!!!

Great vid. thanks for sharing!
