Ditch witch with the daul stick over the joystick I think is why that are more reposive into the turns when feeding the chipper. You are spot on comparing them. I demoed the ctx100 pre covid nice machine ! Stayed with the DW . In your case I don't blame you. 2 yrs is crazy to wait.
We will deffinelty be either looking at a full size skid or a large wheel loader Although with my plans I feel a full size track loader or a payloader would be ideal
Good to know about the grapple! I have a mini ex with a rotating grapple. Works really well...considering a mini skid for a second crew. They quoted me $8K for a rotating log grapple for a Vermeer CTX160. Thanks
Looks like you finally got a TNA grapple. You need to shorten your hoses. I know where a sk1550 is.. Brand New. I'll take ditch witch any day of the week. Much more responsive hydraulics and doesn't have the stupid operator station.
