Choosing the right units

Hi everybody
I'm a italian landscaper and I'm going to buy some toys...
I need a mini track loader and my personal wishlist is
1- Vermeer Sx600
2- Bobcat Mt52
3- Toro Dingo Tx420
I'll buy some attachment too:
- auger
- pallet fork
- soil conditioner (or landscape rake? or tiller?)
- land plane
- trencher

The problem is that I'm going to buy a skid steer too!!!
I'd like the Case 420, but I don't know if the attachments for the Veermer unit are compatible with the Case unit. Or am I forced to buy the Bobcat mt52 and the Bobcat 763?
What about the compatibility between the mini track loaders attachment and the skid steers?
I don't want to buy twice the same attachment!!!
Please help me
Ciao dall'Italia

ok...I'll answer myself
the attachment are not compatible

so I think I'll buy the Vermeer and I'll wait for the skid steer.

Another question (I hope someone else will answer):
are the dingo attachment compatible with the Vermee rsx600?

thank you

Should be. All the compact skid steer equipment should be interchangable except for Bobcat which has a proprititary setup. European machines MAY be different.

I have the vermeer S600 with attatchments..love it.

Nope on some of the compact skid steers.
We have a Gravely Skidster, which of course is not made anymore, but is almost the identical machine as the Kanga. Same valve bank, trencher valve, pump units, etc..
One of the only differences is the attachments will not fit each other because someone at Gravely thought it would be cute to redesign the hook-ups.
Don't know about the connection between Vermeer and Dingo, you'll just have to ask around a bit more.

Good Luck!
