Dale Wiley is an unknown quantity at this point
I will post a picture later today. It is similar to the others, 25 HP Kohler engine, one hyraulic pump, 14.6 gpm flow. It has a speed control, and the loader will load into a 1 ton flat bed mason dump.

I got the unit, a 40 inch tiller, bucket, low speed - high torque auger head, 12 inch and 30 inch auger bits, land leveler, 36 X 6 trencher, and backhoe. $ 31,654 for all. Put it on a lease.

We will not inccur $ 13,300 in rental charges and will save about 100 man hours in mobilization costs, which is worth $ 3,500 min.

We looked at and dismissed the track units right away. We then looked at Boxer, they are a joke and the salesperson was full of bullshit and lies, and disputed my questions about hydraulic wear on those stupid expandable tracks. (Surprise ??// )

Toro salesperson did not return my calls, and Bobcat was not able to take universal attatchments. Ditch Witch did not have a comparable unit, and Vermeer was a good sales process, and our evaluations and backgrounds with engioneering and testing showed us the Vermeer to be the best unit for our purposes.
