We are a local lawn and landscaping company based out of Freeburg IL. Family owned/operated and started from the ground up. My brother (Nic) and I (Alex) are doing our best to build a company we will be happy to work in. It has been an adventure and a struggle at times but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! We began our journey on youtube to document our company history and we would be happy to have you along for the ride! We have big dreams and have hardly scratched the surface of where we want to be.

This is the perfect format for equipment review...Talking shop with real world applications, experiences, and more than a few hours on the machine "initial thoughts" "my first impression" useless info.... Thanks 💯👍🏾

Thanks for the post and review. I like watching as many as I can. Bottom line is depends on what you use the machine for. I bought 2014 Boxer 322D new have 1400 plus hours Me only. Yes , may not be best . I love it and people are impressed how much the machine does. Just regular maintenance , no problems. Used 322D runs about 15000

That is very true. To each their own. Honestly they are all good as long as you do your maintenance and keep them clean 👍🏼

We put 125hrs on our 755 in like 3 months... Amazing machine, I tried the Dingo etc and hated them compared to the ditch witch. We've built ponds hauling heavy ass boulders with our 52" bucket and rocks added to the standing plate for extra weight and had no problems. I can rip around like crazy on it, saves a lot of time and labour!

I have a boxer 320 very similar to that machine its awsome it saves labor cost and is good for smaller jobs that bob cats would cause to much collateral damage on.

I have run Vermeer (owned one), Toro and Ditch Witch. All 3 were decent and capable except early Toro wheel models... any newer model are great... However a company I use to work for years ago had a Ditch witch and it was very fast and productive... I believe others have caught up but Ditch witch has been decent for a while

Owned a mt85 since 2016 put a ton of money into the undercarriage.I would never buy the bobcat again especially with the new mt 100 with the so called sealed rollers.Purchased a 752 ditch witch in 2019 and it has been the best machine i have ever owned.Never a problem.Has 950 hrs on it and the undercarriage is far superior to any bobcat model.And the machine is built like a tank ,just look at how strong the arms compared to the bobcat mt

@nickenslandscapingexcavating Жыл бұрын

We haven’t had any real issues with ours, it has 1400 hours now. Yeah I can agree with the undercarriage comment. The bobcat undercarriage is very outdated and a pain to maintain. I am strongly considering other brands for our next one. Also a shame bobcat doesn’t offer a bigger version. Ditch Witch has the majority of this market because of the options they offer. Have you seen the SK3000??

I do not like your joystick control for the drive I have the double sticks I love it 650 hours on it and I check my tracks every time I fuel it up. I have lifted 1200 pounds with my machine three guys hanging off the back the more weight on back increase the lifting capacity

Okay now you were talking about not having to Greece the bucket linkage not unless they've changed it but it used to be every 300 hours you had to put new plastic bearings in it and it wasn't too long ago that just came to my attention so check your owner's manual and see how long those bushings are good for my information tells me every 300 hours they need to be changed which is a pain in the ass give me a tube of Grease Sandy day LOL check me out let me know if I'm wrong I don't want to be spreading the wrong thing out there

@wpog8453 4 жыл бұрын

They hold up great. Every mini should have them. When they do wear out they only cost $15-$20 a piece and you can replace all 3 in the attachment plate in about 20 min. Rear boom and cylinder linkage hardly ever wears out
