Good to know about the grapple! I have a mini ex with a rotating grapple. Works really well...considering a mini skid for a second crew. They quoted me $8K for a rotating log grapple for a Vermeer CTX160. Thanks
Ditch witch with the daul stick over the joystick I think is why that are more reposive into the turns when feeding the chipper. You are spot on comparing them. I demoed the ctx100 pre covid nice machine ! Stayed with the DW . In your case I don't blame you. 2 yrs is crazy to wait.
We will deffinelty be either looking at a full size skid or a large wheel loader Although with my plans I feel a full size track loader or a payloader would be ideal
Looks like you finally got a TNA grapple. You need to shorten your hoses. I know where a sk1550 is.. Brand New. I'll take ditch witch any day of the week. Much more responsive hydraulics and doesn't have the stupid operator station.

You need to try and avant 755I that machine is a game changer super lift no ground disturbance

Yes it feels like the vermeer has dead spots in the joystick
I might go to Florida for another dw
Seems like the 1550 are the hardest to get . That Vermeer is still an awesome machine. Like the colors over the standard yellow
Nice video and excellent comparison of both loaders. I still think your third loader should be an Intrepid KM130 Tele😁

What kind of grapple is on your Vermeer’s? Does it free float or is it hydraulic
Can you go into the price difference between both machines?
Some way that flow should be able to turn up..
What’s the price difference?
I got the purple paint free cause I wouldn't buy a yellow vermeer lol
I think it's 1000 normally
