Sk650 ditch witch vs Vermeer 650tx

[welltree]

Just wondering if anyone can let me know weakness with either,I have tried both all I can tell is Vermeer controls are better ditch has more power,both run 4pumps close in tipping weight.I am looking to buy my first one and want to make the best choice.So has anyone had any problems with either.

+1 on the sk650 it is a beast not to be messed with. I tested the vermeer but it didn't have the power. I have almost 2000 hours on my sk650 and have had no major issues. Just tracks, the glow plug relay died, and the cooling hose was routed backwards when I got it.

look at the sk755. it has the new controls available and a bigger motor.
