Really like seeing these types of customer reviews. I'm a production welder for ditch witch. I build the parts that make these and every other type of machine ditch witch makes. Glad to see people using and really liking these mini-skids.
@Fau Q $10,000 would be affordable $60,000 thats a same price at my kubota dealer for a new kubota M135gx here with a loader,bucket,forks and blower for same price
@Fau Q the kubota M series loader tractors are accully great landscaping tractors thats what i used to use for landscaping the lawn on the farm plus running disc harrow,and cultivator over and use the grain seeder for plantining grass seed wich work pretty good
I bought my Ditch Witch sk800, basically the newer model of Tigran's sk850, and that machine easily paid for itself in a year. Bought a mini excavator this year as well. You gotta own the equipment!
The best purchase ever for our landscape biz - Ditch Witch Mini skids. Easy to replace tracks with the grease mechanism instead of a big ass bolt like Vermeer. The tracks will come off if you’re not careful with gravel. If you like doing the maintenance - fairly simple to change out fluids, filters, etc. I love my Bitches. I’ll never own any other brand.
The only thing missing is replace that silly duel stick drive system with the single joystick you will be much happier also we used a second joystick handle which is much taller on the right side and got rid of that little green knob it was too short to do any actual work. If you take the counterweight kit and turn them around backwards it puts more weight on the back of the machine thereby allowing you to pick up a full pallet of pavers.
Just got me the Vermeer CTX 100. Dont wanna miss it. And youre damn right. When you show up at the job side and the customer sees you with good machines, he knows right away hes in good handy.
What should I focus on first. Buying a mini skid and getting paver jobs done with my inexperienced team, or keep renting a mini skid and hire a experienced mason so I don’t have to do everything? New employee seems to cost a lot more lol but..
Equipment is everything T. Keep pushing man I’m your fan and you’re my inspiration I got my second new walker for my business definitely is the best investment
Good video. $60k is steep. I noticed where you you said extra tracks, bucket, and forks. Those few accessories aren't worth near $15k. Dealers inflate the price of their attachments way too much. It'll work out though. Cheers
Hey, have you heard of the Vermeer CTX160 mini skid? It’s 42”wide and has a lift capacity of 1600lbs. It would be cool to compare it to your DW SK1550 if you could get your hands one.
Dude I admire you so much. My framing and construction business crashed and I am scared to death to start over, of course o It wouldn't be framing anymore.
Why Ditch Witch? We bought a new Bobcat mini loader for $30k. And, for another $9k we got a set of forks, post hole auger and harley rake with it. Love it!
Discovered you about a month ago and have been super inspired by your amazing work and motivation. Love the new editing; pump out as many vids as you can!
I’m always looking for efficient ways to do things. Like for starters, there’s a whole new system of truck in the market called SLT (super lawn trucks) you can build your very own half box truck half dumping hoist truck bed. They build it out of Isuzu truck and you can have half box in the front and dumping portion in the back. Or for lighter types of landscaping a dump side hopper.
Awsome machine but a little bit pricry for you first machine, it's definitely a nice upgrade but, if you work in ares that are tightly build you can't go with the larger model unforunetly, sk600 and maybe sk800 are your options.
Nice video I own a sk 755 36” machine amazing machine i use it mainly for installation of helical screw piles I just bought a sk 1550 for 57000 Canadian it’s a beast it replaces my John Deere 320d skid steer I’m looking at the sk 3000 maybe to replace my John Deere 332g skid steer
If you pull the casters apart that has trailer bearings in it they’re designed to be greased I’d say every 500 or 1000 hours I don’t know my debts which has 910 hours on it I never have changed anything I’m looking at a second one right now Kubota just came out with one that is a monster And it is way smaller it will outlived the 1550 I would love to see a comparison video if you could demo one to see it up against a 1550 like your very nice machine
Hello brother, always great videos! Keep up the good work. Those ditch witch are amazing. Wondering if now that you got a brand new one if you are gonna sell the old one or even any of the the skids? I'll be interested to buy one I'm barely starting so would want to get a used one I can afford. Then go big eventually like you did. Let me know. -Miguel
whats the bonus to that versus something like a full size kubota for only a couple thousand more, thats what I run but on different properties, I assume its just the size and where it can/cant fit
@tigran do you recommend this over the bobcat s70? I’m starting concrete flat work/landscaping business and I like how the s70 you can add a breaker. S70 or ditch?
Depends on what you do if you're constantly on hard surfaces breaking up concrete and yes cs70 is physically a more robust machine I own two of them and it travels faster, with that being said even a small Ditch Witch will outlift a s70, and the versatility of being able to hop on and off is much more convenient than being shoehorned into the cab
@@TigranGertz But you are not A contractor now ? According to the California state licensing board. At what point are you going to stop lying to people. What a scrawny weasle you are. Also you should come out of the closet.
They don't cost near that much,he either lied about the price or got ripped off. They cost closer to 40k. I will say this mini will do what my 74 horse case will do. 1500lb lift capacity.
Is Goat Gang really legit and beneficial? I’m contemplating on signing up. I feel stuck and limited and I don’t like it. I’m 39 but idc about learning from anyone younger doing it right. I want to learn more and see what I’m missing or doing wrong.
If you’re stuck it’s because you’re doing something wrong. Try it out interact with other, ask questions and watch you blow up. Goat gang is full of money makers and up coming money makers.
That’s very intimidating to make that purchase, Why do you choose a ditch witch over a mini skit steers? Personally I find the mini skit steer easier to grade with
@@TigranGertz I also added weight kit, 52" bucket and full size 48" forks, and it was 44otd I just looked at my receipt. So spare tracks and extra bucket were 16k?!
love the new video editing 😱👌🏼
Who else loves it! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍
Its sick💪💪
Not trying to be a sack rider, but yeah you've stepped up your editing to another level.

How do you even get a job at a place like ditch witch bro that sounds cool as fuck
I believe in purchasing equipment that will make you efficient and profitable, congratulations!
Agree with that!
@@TigranGertz ouch $60,000 for a walk behind loader those loaders usely sells from $10 to $20,000
Michel, all of your comments are negative and ill informed. What is the point?

Had a crazy girlfriend once and I couldn't ditch that witch fast enough !
Hahaha
Funny stuff
I admire you to the fullest bro! Keep grinding and I pray for even more success for you and your company!!

Exactly!!
Hands down the best piece of Machinery a landscaper can have
Customer have no clue what equipment cost. I'll use 50k worth of stuff and they want to pay 50$ because, "that didn't take very long"
Always, most people just want a price sell yourself and your quality work
Very up beat and positive video! Cameron, the camera 🎥 man did a fine job!
As per your comment on whether you should buy the DW “And if you are scared, do it anyway “ - love it
Excelente perspective and attitude
My cousins have the bobcat version of these we break concrete so fast and load up a dump really quick
What should I focus on first.
Buying a mini skid and getting paver jobs done with my inexperienced team, or keep renting a mini skid and hire a experienced mason so I don’t have to do everything? New employee seems to cost a lot more lol but..
I have an older Toro mini. Love these thing's. Love all landscape machines for that matter :P
like them but not the price tag though lol
I thought SK3000 were $60,000. I have the SK1050 and I paid $38,000 for it, but I love it and I would love that SK1550.
Equipment is everything T. Keep pushing man I’m your fan and you’re my inspiration I got my second new walker for my business definitely is the best investment
I have wright stander!what you think walker vs stander? Overall
@@fabricioalmeida348 I love the walker for spring and any season of the year
Good video. $60k is steep. I noticed where you you said extra tracks, bucket, and forks. Those few accessories aren't worth near $15k. Dealers inflate the price of their attachments way too much. It'll work out though. Cheers
You’re forgetting taxes
Quick question. Why use the ditch witch to full the wheel barrels versus just dropping it where it needs to go???
Hey, have you heard of the Vermeer CTX160 mini skid? It’s 42”wide and has a lift capacity of 1600lbs. It would be cool to compare it to your DW SK1550 if you could get your hands one.
Maybe someday I will!
What a great looking job !!! Congratulations on your new toy 🎊🎄🎄🎄
my sk3000 does work!, love it, but sometimes wish i had a seat tho
Dude I admire you so much. My framing and construction business crashed and I am scared to death to start over, of course o
It wouldn't be framing anymore.
Do it.
What city?
Usually when you get a broken driver side window you parked your truck in front of someone else’s property more than once
Why Ditch Witch? We bought a new Bobcat mini loader for $30k. And, for another $9k we got a set of forks, post hole auger and harley rake with it. Love it!
Is it just me or did his machine seem overpriced?
@@TomatoWithARifle YES TO MUCH FOR THE MACHINE ITS CALIFORNIA
Discovered you about a month ago and have been super inspired by your amazing work and motivation. Love the new editing; pump out as many vids as you can!
Will do definitely
I have MT85 and I can't wait to have another one. no more big machines.
If it makes you money and all giggly inside; get it! Strong work!

I’ve seen those. Pretty cool
There great but will take you multiple seasons to recoup investment
For that kind of money cant you buy a "full size" Skid steer? Like a Kubota or Deere. They would also have hire lift height.
Need it narrow. This one is 4’
my buddy bought 3 svl75-2 skid loaders $60,000 for all 3
@@danielguillen1814 yep. Paid 45 this month for one. Weight kit and 60” bucket included.

I can't get over the color they have. I decided to go with a wacker neuson because I needed a 36" machine.
I love how your saying the new ditch is sweet knowing that you had the same ditch b4 and already know what it can do...lol
He should’ve bought a bobcat mini s70

That new machine looks great! Now you only need a new compactor... for your hair!!!!
Hmmmmm
Great investment especially when you can't get the Cat in the backyards or on properties definitely worth the money
From the UK,on your recommendation I will buy a Ditch Switch for my building project,but trying to get a price,eek!
Not what it costs. It’s what it makes
Awesome awesome content Tigran.

Great vids keep them coming 👍
why getting ditch-witch instead of skid steer? is there a special reason or just personal preference?
I have 2 skids
Nice editing T!
Worth it! Awesome purchase 👍
Yo boss man I’m super late, but do you buy equipment outright or do you finance

Get an adapter plate use full size buckets from skid steerers
Shoulda went with an s70 mini Bob does the same for less$ plus more.. great channel tho ma dude nothing but respect!
Like the new way of filming👌
whats the bonus to that versus something like a full size kubota for only a couple thousand more, thats what I run but on different properties, I assume its just the size and where it can/cant fit
Nice machine! Do you carry the ditch witch around in the tool trailer or a dump trailer? That one is prob close to 2,000 lbs heavier than the 850
Dump
ALL Meskins are born landscapers !
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾
T you wearing some doctor pants lol?
haha im a landscape doctor!
May be instead of queen palms 🌴 some date palms or Canarian would it had been more appealing landscape,just my opinion .🤠
With that amount of money I can buy two used one's, one compact for small gates and a big one.
Not in Cali you can't
Nice man are you gonna sell your old one?
Do you need a license to be in this business? And if so how long and what’s steps are needed to acquire the license?
C27
no
Love it bro!
@tigran do you recommend this over the bobcat s70? I’m starting concrete flat work/landscaping business and I like how the s70 you can add a breaker. S70 or ditch?
Ditch all day

How many hours does the first ditch witch have on it?
You must live in Canada, cuz 60k will buy you an sk3000 in the United States the sk1550 is 40k
Can you do a equipment tour/ shop tour?
Definitely
Dope dope content.
Do you feel like you give your workers the appreciation they deserve? Looks like they’re moving like a well oiled machine!!
Definitely. They love the equipment
Why didn’t you buy a actual skid steer? They are probably not that much more if not cheaper?
A new skid steer will cost a decent amount more and they will not fit in gates so that’s probably why
I have an old dingo and just purchased a new toro dingo tx1000 and I’m pretty sure it can do what that one can and it was half the price
For real??? You sure it wasn’t like my little one? The small one was 35k
