Thoughts on Boxer mini skids?

[CRL]

I've been reading a number of mini skid threads and have noticed the strong support for Ditch Witch. What are thoughts on the Boxer 320 as the next step up from an Arbor Trolley for a 2 sometimes 3 man crew?

And others...
Thanks for your thoughts.

My takeaway is any mini skid is better than no mini.
Ditch witch is the top ranking

Boxer is fairly far down the list, but if the price is right it’s better than nuttin!
Coming from some experience with larger dirt equipment I am constantly amazed and frustrated with capabilities. It’s simply not what you can get from a full sized unit. Apples and oranges, they are awesome for what they are, but not a substitute for larger machines.

Look at it as if you were asking the same with chippers. Any chipper is better than no chipper, some are certainly better than others.

I agree.

Boxer 532dx has an expanding undercarriage (tracks go from 43.5-34.5" wide), which gives access and power.

Had a bunch of problems.

Boxer 320 is a great starter machine and are realatively inexpensive , with a bmg for $19k plus shipping
