@@feldmanslawnandlandscape can’t wait to see the videos on it and possibly any issue you may encounter with the machine because I know most manufacturer have their own issue sometimes
Definitely a big price tag! But new Dingo tx1000’s are around 48,000 at a dealer close to me and Bobcat MT100’s are around 42,000 at my local dealer. Just the going rate I guess. However with all the attachments and how much you can do with these machines, it is very easy to justify the price tag with the revenue it generates!
I purchased a comparable machine the ir 1000. Had 104 hours, Kubota diesel, Italian hyd pump, parker wheel motors, 83" pin height. Joy stick controls, weight kit, turf tracks. Cid bucket. Out the door $21k.
@@georgezhou7961 Scag is made in America! If it’s quality and built over here, I’ll always try to support our economy. I did some research on the Chinese mini skids, but their build quality, lift capacity, speed and durability didn’t come anywhere close to the Jackal. Definitely a scenario where you get what you pay for.
Very good point! The only reason I might, is to keep the business’ debt to income ratio favorable just in case I want to finance another piece of equipment! 0% interest is awesome though and it definitely takes the pressure off 🙏🏻
@@feldmanslawnandlandscape That could make sense if needed, but if you’re buying this kind of equipment your income should be high enough from charging the appropriate rates that you can finance multiple pieces of equipment at a time, as long as the monthly payments are easily met, including in the off season. Having low debt is great, but utilizing 0 percent interest properly is also important as long as you’re not over extending yourself.
$720 a month for 6 years hell no. America’s prices are crazy I got a 450 form china with 8 attachments for $13800 it lifts 1200 pounds and has the same motor. Best money I’m ever spent. Good luck guys just be mindful and try not to have payments on tools.
@@kalibmilner877 Thankfully this is a five year loan (60 months) with no interest and the monthly payment is much lower than that (because I chose to put money down). When I purchase a piece of equipment for my business, I always choose the product that is the highest quality (materials, build quality, engineering, etc.). I definitely looked into the Chinese machines when making my decision because they are priced so low. Unfortunately, the engineering, durability, cheap materials, and overall quality were not to the standard I wanted. I truly wish you nothing but the best of luck with your machine though and hope it makes you a lot of money!
@@feldmanslawnandlandscape Hey man, I give you props you’re busy enough and you obviously work hard enough to own equipment like that. It just blows my mind when people say skilled trades are down and then pieces of equipment are so expensive and mostly out of reach for people trying to get in the trade, definitely not your fault. I’m sure the machine is top quality. But it’s like come on man. We’re Americans trying to do work and make money not spend money every month for an ex amount of years. Anyways, thanks for the response. Will continue to watch.
@@kalibmilner877 I appreciate the kind words and definitely see where you’re coming from. Equipment prices have skyrocketed (especially in recent years) and it’s tough to toe the line between going into debt to grow/support your business, and wanting to make money as quickly as possible without spending a ton to get there. If you make any videos/social media content with your machine (and attachments) I’d love to see it and the work you do! I’m routing for you brother, and I appreciate your support 🙏🏻
@@gregl7597 Don’t worry, my bubble is still in tact! It is made in the USA and I am very happy with this addition to my fleet/business. I did extensive research on the Chinese minis and I was not impressed. That being said, everyone has a different mindset when purchasing equipment and regardless of us disagreeing on value for money in this instance, I still wish you nothing but the best with your business and your mini skid! Go make that money!
Congrats on the upgrade!
@@castloadersusa Thank you!!
Nice! It looks like a nice built machine.
@@tractorworkandmore411 I’m definitely impressed so far. Can’t wait to put it through its paces 🚜😀
@@feldmanslawnandlandscape can’t wait to see the videos on it and possibly any issue you may encounter with the machine because I know most manufacturer have their own issue sometimes
@@tractorworkandmore411 Absolutely! Hoping to have a video ready very soon on my initial thoughts.
Need an update on this
Hi mate does it have aux hydraulics for attachments? Grapple auger and breaker
@@kerronemmanuel2545 Yes it does! You can absolutely run all of those attachments 👍
A narrow track machine is more tippy and requires extra focus to operate on uneven terrain.
@@almangrant7358 yessir!
42- 45000 before tax , is a crazy price for that machine though

Why pay off a 0% loan off early? Invest that money and make a return. Never pay off free money early. :)

so overpriced
Is this MADE in the USA?
I hate to burst your bubble but you could have bought about 4 SIMILAR ones from China for that exorbitant price you paid!
