Boxer skid steer opinions

Bringing and old topic I started back up. I looked at some mini skid steers at the show today and I am dead set on getting one. I liked the stuff Ditch Which had, anyone had any use with these machines? any issues to speak of?

 I have looked at a few options and have Vermeer, Boxer and Ditch witch in the line up. However vermeer are based a little to far north for me if something goes wrong I don't fancy a 4 hour trip.

 

 I noticed the Boxeruk site is down and I can't fine anything of them on google anymore, its like they have vanished? does anyone know if they are still based in Tetbury?

 

I'm getting the feeling that unless I import I'm not going to be fining a second hand machine and am going to have to accept £20,000-25,000(with attachments).

or has anyone on here imported plant over from the US? good idea or a really terrible one?

 

Any thoughts or ideas as always are greatly welcomed. Hope you all have a good Arbshow for those that went.

Diggers are certainly more versatile but that’s probably for another thread sometime

 

in short I’ve never regretted getting rid of my boxer, I found that you could easily get large pieces of timber onto a arb trolley or similar then we would lift them into a trailer with the roofmount at the other end all without damaging a lawn, that said a skid steer changed the way I worked and I probably wouldn’t be working the way I do now without it

 

i did wrote a blog post for treekit a couple of years ago on the subject if anybody’s interested
