    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    Go try to find negative feedback on the 1050 and there's your short answer. I prefer not to have the emissions stuff as well but like myself and others are saying, it's a non issue on this unit. That Yanmar has a long proven engine family as well. They are known for being good high hour...

    Absolutely worth it. That regen system hasnt been changed since they came out with the 850 about 5 years ago. The dealer in my area has never had any problematic units this entire time. Just occasional people who keep overriding the automatic regen and clogging up the filter. I bought one with...

    Oh i see was it a Ditch Witch mechanic? Last I saw, you could get those D1105 turbos on Ebay for about $400. Oh well you've got the 1050 now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Why couldnt you turbo it? That D1105 in the 800 was outfitted with a turbo for years in the SK650 and SK755. I agree on the 1050. You can't hardly lug it down. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Thank you! It seems like most of the people that bring the subject up to begin with are guys that like joysticks, reminding everyone else that joysticks are better. Other than the fact that I don't really get the sentiment to begin with.... the only way that you could come to that conclusion is...

    You've got that right. As a rule of thumb I dont buy any attachments from dealers. Their prices on any brand are super inflated. I try to warn guys not to let the salesman talk them into these big machine "packages". I xont know how many guys I've seen do that thinking they're getting some kind...

    I'd buy either brand again. And if some other brand one ups them in the future I might buy theirs as well. Not very brand loyal. Oddly enough, that CTX has a lifetime warranty on the loader frame. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Yeah the CTX100 has a DOC engine. No regen or DEF and no computerized management of the emissions. The entire wiring system is only 4 small modular bundles so you can just replace the segment that's giving issues. To be honest though my 850 never had computer/emissions issues. It was in great...

    I dont pay attention to interest on anything like that unless it were over 10%. I'm not going to keep any unit for 5-7 years to pay the entire interest and if I did, it would easily pay itself off well before the end of the term. From a maintenance/downtime perspective, it's not worth it. You...

    DW and Vermeer are neck and neck build quality wise. I'd advise anyone to do good research on the design of each machine outside of anecdotes from others. Both great machines. Both also have different strengths and weaknesses. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    I'd have to ask which models of each brand are you referring to? I've owned an SK850 and now a CTX100. A tier 4 Ditch Witch is much more complex electronic wise. Ironically I'm also gonna have to say my DW platform was much better and more comfortable than the Vermeer. They are also of equal...

    Vermeer is giving you a better value compared to the others. I'm surprised. That's a bit high for the 800 with only a bucket. Should be around $26k. By contrast that Vermeer would be at that price with no attachment in my area. I would not get a narrow track though unless you have some kind of...
