I liked it when I demoed one. Just a lot of money for something that can barely pick up a pallet of pavers. They are beasts for what they are though.

Really well done analysis of the machine. Thanks

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

This is a really well done demonstration of the pros and cons... especially liked you showing true in the field lift capabilities... thanks!

Awesome! Glad it was worthwhile !

I agree about the loader joystick. Too close to the handle and too low, I have really big hands too and that is very annoying. I have 500hrs on mine and all the buttons are still fine just so you know you don’t have to worry about them too too much.

@@Aumanlandscape I thought the same. They seem to be holding up fine though. Also I hate the bogging down with the boom movement you were talking about. But other then that the thing is amazing.

I use one all the time and I love it ....thing is a beast

Thanks for the video. New subscriber here. The things you didn't like are the same reasons I bought the Vermeer ctx-160. The Ditchwitch dealer told me they started flipping the counter weights backwards to add more ballast for a greater weight carrying capacity. I hope she serves you well .

Interesting thing about the counterweights but after having the 1550 for one year, it’s been absolutely great

Please make a video of making it clean around those fuel tanks so you can just pull along and fuel up. This drives me crazy!!!❤

Hey man , great video , I landscape /hardscape, I test drove all the mini brands, hands down Ditch Witch is the best, I've got a 2014 Sk750 with 2700 hrs on it and 27 attachments and an 2006 XT 1600 2100 hrs on it, full size with the backhoe , the BEAST!

27 attachments?!!!!!!! That’s awesome!

I’ve had my sk1550 for 5-6 years now. By far the best machine for landscaping up to a point

I have a Chinese Brand V 1000 bought in December 23 and it costs totally from China to Florida $14,000.00 and it lifts pallets of 80 lbs sacrete with no problem! Ditch Witch is wicked! $60k for that! 😮

It’s worth it if you have the work coming in for it

Midskeer that’s funny

Imagine if suppliers did half pallets....

You prob could depending on how friendly your dealer is feeling. It would be necessary to order in everything though and not take it from in stock pavers your supplier has on hand. You would also have to pay the layering fees associated with your order. My experience with unilock anyway

@kylerobinson2048

Maybe then Unilock could pull out all their broken pavers that come with each pallet
