Thanks for watching T Arbeau. I'm hoping be do more demos this spring with a grapple, backhoe, stump grinder, and other attachments.

Roger that was true several years ago but I've owned DW 1050 and 2 Vermeer CTX. They are an all around better and stronger machine and have equal build quality. I was timid at first but the first time that I was really able to run one and check it out I was very impressed.

Ya, me too🤣😂🤣. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you 👍 commenting.

Hello Martin, the Kabota scl 1000 was another machine I was considering 🤔 At the time they were unavailable. I believe it will lift an IBC tote but not at full height for stacking.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've got 4 different types and sized buckets for the Vermeer. 36" grapple bucket, 48" low profile with tooth bar, 48"high capacity and a 54" high capacity bucket with a reversible flat blade on it. In my opinion the 54" smooth bucket is the heaviest one and seems to do the best for shaving off the topsoil. I regret buying the 48" low profile bucket due to the low volume it can carry. The one thing I have noticed on back dragging very dry clumping soil is needing a partially Full bucket of dirt for it's weight in back dragging.

Stinky Teal, I had to watch my video again. Your absolutely right 👍 I'm still a bit rusty making videos. This was my second one and I'm shooting from a cell camera. Definitely not the best quality. But thanks for pointing that out.

The SK1550 doesn't useDPF and the new ones have the toggle throttle or auto throttle it's your choice what to use

@@mikeoneil4878 Bro, the Yanmar 3TNV86CT has DPF aftertreatment, according to the specs on their website.

@@almangrant7358 the SK1550 has a Regen system when needed and is rarely needed if you run it at higher throttle most of the time but it uses no DPF I work with them everyday just wanted to clear that up thanks for the response

@@mikeoneil4878 you know a Regen is the process that cleans a DPF right?

Hey Dan, I can only give you a ball park on the price of a Vermeer CTX-160 which can very a great bit due to the area your shopping from. I purchased mine from a road salesman Hunter Allen from Annapolis junction Maryland which is a Dealership I've never step foot in. He's always meet up with me. I will give him much credit. He did everything he could of convincing me to buy a Vermeer over a Ditch witch and definitely went out of his way to do so. I would definitely refer someone to him that's interested in a Vermeer machine. Due to the rising cost of steel in this corona-virus pandemic we're going through. I estimate the wait time will be longer and the price will be higher than I paid. A ball park on a Vermeer CTX 160 will run you $46 to 56k depending on accessories, options and warranty coverages in which your Salesmen can discuss with you. If I were you🤔 do a price comparison with Ditch witches sk1550 which is comparable in lifting capacity to the Vermeer CTX 160. And even demo each unit if possible to make your best decision.
