GREAT video!

They need direct drive hydros like Kubota has. Screw the belt drive stuff

[@Robert_Mann]

I looked up the parts diagram and confirm this 100%. Wonder how long that belt will last before needing to be changed? I do like how they mount the rad in the front with a pusher fan so it pulls cool air over the engine and hydros unlike the SCL where it is mounted in the rear for the hot air is blown over the engine and hydros.

I have the Ditch Witch SK1050 in southern Arizona and there is problem with radiant heat from the radiator, so I have no idea what he’s talking about. I love having the ability to step off my Ditch Witch and still operate my machine from the ground. As far as the joy stick controls for travel the single lever is optional, it’s your choice.

does it have a stump grinder that you can get for it, its just universal you can use bob cat stump grinder or any mini skidsteer grinder or other attachments

Looks like a nice machine and narrow is always good. The issue with all narrow machines is that everyone talks about how wide the machine is, but rarely comment on how the bucket is wider. If you are truly working in a very confined space where machine width is the concern, a bucket that is wider defeats the purpose of the narrow machine width. It is not always an option to.lift the load above the narrow space

[@sionefifita5891]

You can just lift the bucket up above wall height when passing through a gate or chain it onto arm and lift and drive through

OK so I really like this machine but if it’s 3 foot wide and your bucket is wider, are you telling me I need to remove the bucket every time I go through the gate come on guys that’s like ridiculous and false advertising

[@RentnKing]

All you need to do is raise the bucket... unless it's a really tall fence, there will not be an issue.
