Vermeer 650 versus 600

[marlinspiker]

I am in the market for a mini and had my heart set on a new 650 but recently a 600 has become available for a really good price. Is the 650 that much better? or is it essentially the same machine?

From what I can recall, the controls are a bit different, a bit more hydraulic power and tracks are a bit longer. Mines the 2013 model s650 tx. If there is more i am going to see my local Vermeer guy this week. Either way it beats lifting heavy pieces get it!!!

Carl at top notch equipment is selling boxers discounted. Great to deal with.

I would go for the 650. I love my 600 but the 650 has addressed all the small concerns and frequent breakdowns that people have incurred. The biggest difference I see with the 650 is that it has more pumps meaning power isn't robbed when doing multiple functions.
