What equipment do you use in your area? Do you agree or disagree with my list? Let me know! ⬇

My dingo tx1000 was the best employee I hired at Bare Ground Stump Grinding . Going from a shovel and wheel burrow to machine was game changer . Your advice is something guys need to listen to .

After your hardships T, I’m glad you’re living life!! Im sure your dad’s proud of you man! Keep killing the hardscape game ❤️🤝

The impact driver was a nice touch on the set haha. I own a kubota scl 1000. I live it. Could improve on some things but that everything.

MT100 are my favorites for mini. Every demo w/ a ditch witch fell in love but too expensive

I live my mt100 so far. That being said, its new and ive only put a few hours on it. So far i think the standing platform is way to narrow. It looks like you will almost be hugged inside of it but feel like im falling off the back alot. The hydraulic bypass is pretty annoying. It will bypass before the ass end has me in the air sometimes. Its also kind of slow. But this being my first machine im still loving it and looking forward to using it alot

Bob cat s70 it’s a great machine we use every day summer and winter specially for snow work I will be allot more comfortable inside a cab with heat than beexpose to the elements with no heat 😅

I got a Wacker SM100. Spec wise, it beat almost every comparable machine (except the Vermeer CTX100 which was another 35k CAD!); MUCH faster, higher hinge pin, lower ground pressure, and MASSIVE 64L/17gal fuel tank. Price wise, ~8k cheaper than Kubota/Bobcat where I am. Some other pros: My SM100 is actually built in America (though I live in Canada), Yanmar turbo diesel, front mounted cooler so you don't get hot air basting your legs, triple flanged grease adjust undercarriage, float mode (great QOL option in my opinion), wide track yet narrow machine, grease points where it matters and not on idlers. Some cons: single stick drive control (some like, some don't), lots of electronic limiting for safety and logevity of the engine (again, some don't like that), dealer network isn't as large ( though my dealer is

We bought a used Vermeer s600tx and love it! The price was right. Didn't want to pay $30-$60k for the newer mini skids. $12.5k with attachments and 2k hours. It needed some work (maintenance) but hasn't broke the bank. Biggest thing we wanted in a used machine was a ride-on/stand-on machine. We have rented a MT52/MT55 that was a walk behind (I'd rather us a shovel). We've rented a Toro and Vermeer 925tx and they were both decent machines. IMO most of the newer stuff is pretty good.

We've tested and studied many mini skids. Ran a Toro TX1000 for a year or so. Was a high performing, compact machine, but the wasn't terribly tough/reliable and was easy to roll tracks off of. Have heard good things about Ditch Witch until recently when the we're purchased by Toro (no surprise) Ended up purchasing a Vermeer CTX 100. We've been running it for 2.5 years now and love it. It is a tough, well designed, and very powerful unit compared to machine like the Toro or Bobcat. Vermeer for the win in my opinion if you have a good dealer.

I love the vermeer mini.

I really appreciate a good honest opinion, especially by KZfaqr, who is not a computer generated voice

Completely of guard when he pulled out the shovel.😂😂

We had a toro with 500+ hrs on site along with a Vermeer with 2 hrs … the guys always left the Vermeer sitting unless we needed the second machine

Love my Ditch Witch SK900

Bought a Kubota today . Agree on Bobcat . Wore out 2 big Bobcat , loved them .

Can confirm. my mt100 is amazing and a life saver but it does bog down with heavy loads in the bucket and it is very slow. The ditch witches have more Hp on the same size machines and are faster. But they are also much more expensive. The mt100 is a great machine for your first machine. It was the most affordable in my area and gets a ton of stuff done for me. Overall happy with it.

I run a Chinese machine for landscaping here in Australia, it's a ditch witch knock off. It's decent, all the components are quality brand name stuff similar to big name stuff. Bad points are track system is garbage they wear out too fast and rocks can get into rollers and cause tracks to come off. Bucket hitch plate is weak and tracking speed is bit slow. I used to work as a mechanic so I've no problem fixing things, I definitely agree with the bobcat stuff, we don't have the Kubota here and I worked for Kubota so I know their products are good. China's got some good machines coming out you can buy two good ones for the price of any of the USA made ones, I'd say buy what you can afford.

I have two BobcatS70's and they are great and more power than expected. The Kubota engines are solid as a rock.

I am about to buy the Wacker Neuson SM100 or SM120 depending on price here in Texas. Thank you for your review, i was tempted to buy a bobcat because it is about $10k less than vermeer and ditch witch but we are getting a good deal on WN

Non turbo mt100 for the win by miles. And I have a dealer 8 blocks up the road. The product support is amazing.

Kubota is still the goat

MT 100 kills it here in So Cal. Bobcat dealers everywhere. Secret weapon in Hollywood. Swell Landscapes!

I have a china mini excavator, had it for almost a year, got TONs of work done with it. Parts are kind of a pain in the ass, but its really not that bad. If you can spend 5 grand instead of 35 grand and get some work done, then do it

I Saw Tigran at concrete world

my favorite is ditch witch ! but im ready to order Chinese brand with diesel engine and Italian pumps ! LOL

It's your fault I dropped 53 G CAD on a new DW SK800!! And am I glad you talked me into it lol. I hate the electric over hydraulic bs, those joysticks are problematic, my unit has very minimal electronics on it compared to the Kubota, Bobcat, Vermeer, New Holland Plus I couldn't even find any dealers for Toro in western Alberta until it was too late. I wanted a tx525 Dingo because they come in around that 2000 lbs mark and I could use my small trailer to pull it. I am an arborist so my unit is used primarily for clean-up. And the countless chinese units are a complete waste of time for a serious business owner/operator. Thanks dude. Take care

lol I almost got a s70 but ended up with the mt85. Great so far

Is he trolling about the Bobcat? Mt 100 is excellent. It makes me wonder if he has actually use it because the Ditch 850 and Kubota SL1000 stalled on me every time I went into a pile of crushed gravel. My list Ditched witch 1050+ Bobcat Vermeer Toro Kubota And everything else.

I love my Vermeer ctx160 it lifts 1600 pounds it’s one of my favorites

Bro good video dingo is the best next to ditch witch.

The fact that he put shovel #1 shows he a real one 😂

Im buying a ditchwitch 1050 2018 1000h with stumpe grinder bucket and fort for 32k canadian bought un 2019 for 65 i hope im gonna like it anyways not gonna lose à lot its cheeper then the other and have a 11000$ strump grinder attachement with it

I love my toro 525 diesel with a Kubota engine . The best of both worlds. . small enough powerful enough only down fall is lifting weights..also great little machine and easy to work on .. for your basic repairs and maintenance.. love toro

That Ditch witch sk1750 is pretty bad ass. I have a sk900 on order right now. 12-18 month wait.

I thought the mini skid review was a good assessment, altho idk about kubota mini skids. It’s also interesting to see company sizes. I didn’t know NH was that big, same with Kubota, but that makes sense due to their ex’s/tractors

The MT100 is fantastic, much better than Ditch Witch, Vermeer or Toro. Bobcat has more knowledge and experience building Construction Equipment than any of the others. As far a the S70 its a great machine for what its designed to do. Many people who criticize do not understand how to operate them correctly or understand that machines are rated and designed to do certain things. You can overload anything. From the looks of the other comments here here its pretty obvious that your ratings are not really spot on and are just your personal opinion without true merit.

Scag has the new Jackal. Try it out and come back to this

Growing up working on farms and doing landscaping over 20 years I love bobcat and always will. My mt100 my only complaint is the clearance on the arms one side can't even put a finger in the space when moving causing it to hit the machine. I do like ditch witches as well. definitely amazing machine, wish I had the 3000

Im not spending the money on an expensive machine just to use it maybe once a week. I don't have a business and am not buying something to make money with. Im buying to make my life easier. My back, shoulders, hips and knees aren't getting any better.

Got to get one of those SHOVELS ............

Should have had the worky quad on here

I have about 10 shovels of all sizes. More time consuming but I get exercise and a lot cheaper.

Bobcat is the only one I've ran of these they are very smooth and sure you can bog them when you have plenty of traction... can't trash talk the others but in my opinion it's a mini skid there isn't any of them with any amount of balls they are handy little buggers tho when you need them and every one of them is better than the shovel.

Bobcat mt100 is probably the best machine I ever owned . Reliable / nice power / kubota engine / simple and well thought out. My friend changed also and he came from a ditch with 1000 that he had nothing but problem with . To me the mt100 is goat status especially for the price compared to others .

Bro the mt 100 is pretty freaking powerfull

I've used Kabota, Vermeer, and ditch witch. Ditch witch is hands down my favorite. One thing I would change on it is to have the aux hydraulic button on the boom control like the Kabota. I also kinda liked the dual stick for the drives. The newer single stick is not bad though. Vermeer i didn't like at all. It had the Kohler diesel and it was total garbage. Very low hour machine and it constantly died and smoked like a freight train. Boom control was smooth. Kabota was an ok machine. I hated the drive control on it. It was very stiff and wore my left hand out after 6 hours of use. The boom control was all or nothing. It is very hard to be precise with it. Ok power wise and the platform was the most comfortable. The boom had float mode which was nice. Ditch witch first, Kabota second and Vermeer last for me.

To low on bobcat. And too high on toro

You had me at america

Bruh, mt100 has plenty of pelotas. 😂 my experience I had more issues with a ditch witch. But again all equipment have problems.

The brujita machine is numero one

You messed up on the bobcat rating. 😢

Own Toro Dingo 427 No man can lift 550 lbs Also useful for lifting a truck or a trailer whenever need an access from the bottom

Kubota the giant goat!!!!

Vermeer!

Buddy I have the wacker sm100 I can't believe you haven't seen one in the USA 😂😂😂

I came here specifically to see how the Case stacks up

Then choose ours! It's absolutely worth it!

I own a vermeer ctx100 and I personally would flip ditch witch and vermeer. Maybe it's where you live you have a good experience with DW, but vermeer's customer service and availability on everything is literally 100X better than DW in Billings, MT. I couldn't run away fast enough from DW from the time I walked into the door. They basically were forcing me out the door AND I told them I was ready to purchase from them! Never experienced anything like that lol. I've run all the bobcats as well and they are a solid homeowner unit, but absolute garbage for a landscape business. Can't take the abuse and are absolute dogs compared to a turbo deisel.

I used that chinese brand , it will break down frequently than others , toro and new Holland is very good

SK600 .898 liter Kubota diesel engine…

Hey

Wacker Sm120 are trash been through 2! Lots of manufacture issues and very difficult to get parts. Just bought a mt100 run them all before rating them.

💎💎💎

The Chinese brand runs about 6500. All parts are easy to get at any local store.

lol kubota has so many known issues and mt100 so low. dude is trolling hard

What about Takeuchi?

I’ll admit, finding parts were hard for the Chinese brand. Until I realized tractor supply and amazon carry 95% of the replacement parts for it. I own 6 of them now for my tree company. Hydraulic pump can be replaced with any one of them on the market too! The motors are ether American gas brands or Yanmar diesels, so parts for the motor is hella easy to find

S70 is the best on the list... damn can't take this serious

I think you had New Holland’s revenue at $18 trillion on the screen.

Kanga loaders and toro are the top dogs in Australia by far!

Not getting parts for China brand is a myth. You have to get one from an importer like Kymron. Good stuff. Parts on hand. Over a hundred hours no issue yet. Even has a kubota diesel

Vermeer has the best chippers tho

I'd disagree, at least in part, about the Chinese knockoffs. If you need dealer support, 100% don't buy them, but given I can do down to my local Harbor Freight or Princess Auto (Canada's version) and get replacement parts it's not that bad.

“Because I’m the best landscaper” 😂

My bobcat e20 is better than any other small excavator that I’ve used

Great🎉

Reviews should be based on actual usage comparison, tests, toughness, easy to access and fix, etc. not based on a company's net worth. The guy on Project Farm channel does real live tests to do comparisons, even if its on small things. Some people would prefer Bobcat, some Vermeer, and others what has been ideal for them. There's always an argument for each manufacturer and choosing the best is subjective. Just saying.

Toro is amazing! Correction! Bobcat did 7 billion in 2023.

You lack experience. No issues getting parts for the china mini's in the USA. Great dealers like Ground Hog offering parts in the USA for the china units.

Does big out ahhh

So patriotic 💀👍💀

Of course the Ditch Witch 3000 is better at $85k. I’m not sure cost was factored as highly as it should have been .

Mt100 👍😎

Toro 1000 or 2000 way better than Kubota, better balance , better stance, better controls, no-brainer.

Just rent different ones till you find one you like. Renting is cheaper than buying anyways.

Have mt100 its build quality is crap bogs down and at 200 hrs had to have all the electrical harness replaced thank god under warranty but also the dealer in my area not the greatest

Did this guy just say Toro is better than Bobcat?!... That's a joke, Right?

You really paid 85k for a mini skid steer that you have to stand on! You could’ve bought a cab machine for that where you could sit down and operate.

Sk1550 best machine ever

The bobcat MT100 is not that great

Mt 100 is the best

Pretty bold statement "because i am the best landscaper" lol

This kid's 21 years old, are you kidding me?

How About Jhon Deer?

CYKA BLYAT T, Do you still remember russian language?

Lol says chinese is trash yet my mini excavator is cheaper to work on and out does kubota and yanmars

Kabota sucks Dingo 1000 the best

You have lost your ever-loving mind as a person who is owned ditch witch, vermeer, toro, and bobcat, My guys referred to our Ditch Witch as a Ferrari fast as hell but always broken and in the shop for repairs we have a bobcat mt85 it's the old Ford truck that just starts every single day and goes to work, as to the S70 machines we own two of these if driving on hard surfaces at all they will run circles speed-wise around our mt-85 or our Ditch Witch. We sold our Ditch Witch because it needed constant repairs, we actually snapped the arms on it, and snapped attachment plate multiple times. Bobcat Mt might be a little underpowered, and a little slower, but it stands uo to employee use much better. In closing I would probably put the Bobcat machines somewhere in the above average area, and bring the ditch witch down because of all of the recent repairs I've seen that are not being covered under warranty from Ditch Witch, examples being pumps shearing completely off of the engine, drive Motors completely shearing the sprocket off, hoses rubbing through because routed poorly, emissions issues causing machines to be constantly at the dealer and the dealer not wanting to work on them because they have a Yanmar engine in them.

Anti china but thats all peep can afford
