What is this dingo I keep reading about on the forums?

I just looked at some pictures and, well.... you owners tell me.

[familyguy]

So. No Dingo owners?

Hi familyguy, think of a bobcat mt52 or google search for one. They are a pretty useful machine if you're in a tight space, eg no full size bobcat access.

A red compact utility loader, some wheeled, some tracked. I own one; if you want details pm me.

Not sure of pics on GTX, but there have been several threads. Do a search and you should find all the info you need.

If you have any questions that were not answered, go ahead and ask. We have a wheeled one and love it.

We use a Ramrod 1150. Best little piece of equipment in our arsenal for small residential landscaping.

Do these miniskids enable one person to plant a larger tree then they normally could? Say a River birch with a 36" rootball?

[familyguy]

paydaze, how much was it?

[Dale Wiley]

We have the Vermeer S 600.

2 buckets, tiller, trencher, backhoe, leveler, forks, float and bore head.

I doubt there is any machine where one person could plant a 36 inch root ball tree, but one of these units could surley come close.

We paid (the lease company paid )
$ 31,000 for the whole package.

Hey Dale, I Pm'ed ya about your vermeer a few days ago =).

How do you like the backhoe? Is it versatile and actually useable on the little guy?

[Dale Wiley]

It is an aftermarket one made for Vermeer.

There were a few things I did not like, and that we changed. But over all, we have dug ponds, septic systems, drainage, removals and demolition with it and I think it is just fine.

I don't feel so bad if it sits for a while, since it is just an attatchment, and its there when we need it.

Better than no having one at all.. thats for sure..

[syzer]

Thats good to hear. Do you have any pics of it in action?

Im on my 2nd rental of the dingo. Its 155 per day. It comes with the complete trailer with all the goodies but they tack on an extra 50 bucks for every attachment you use.
Land plane , Auger, trencher, forks, Jack hammer. No, 4 in 1 bucket though , thats a bummer.
Its hard to operate the bucket and the steering at one time. I wish it had a jotstick instead of the dumb bar control for the tracks. Mabye the one I rent is out of wack but it was a carple tunnel nightmare to navigate the tracks whilst manipulating the bucket.
I cant see the 25 grand out lay right now. Where is the 6 in 1 blade? do they make one? you dig a trench and have to side shift the fill back in? Thats just bunk! Ive seen the mt 52 but they dont have a trailer for it and they wont provide a ramp to stick it in the truck so I dont rent it for the fact of an extra trailer charge. (go go mck ace hardware lol)<rental place!
Im used to a case 450 crawler with a 4 in 1 clam. I could manipulate that peice to put a needle on a record player.
I guess I like the lock and load of the gears. (+ brakes) Dont you love rental yards!!!!!!!!!! We are smater than they are and they treat us like jo shmo! (ohh im ranting) Wheres the rant and rave topic here stone? lol and its monday!
