Anyone ever used or been around a Boxer Skidsteer?

[heluvaranch]

We are looking at maybe buying one and was curious if anyone had ever used them and what they thought about them. Any information would be great.

Thanks

Well it's the one and only John Deere product I will ever buy.I blew another Hydraulic hose on Tuesday that makes 8 in the last year and every time you lose all of the oil.It's alway's a $200 repair I have only owned it for 15 months and put a little over 200 hours on it.It caught on fire last winter next time it catches on fire I'm going to let it burn..

You're not talking about the standing platform ones, are you? If so, completely worthless for a ranch operation. Virtually no ground clearance whatsoever. Good for small construction and whatnot, but otherwise, leave it at the dealer. Buy Denny's JD if you want grief. It'll probably cost you less.

Denny, quit buying cheap hydraulic lines.

I don't buy cheap lines, it's all the cheap crap John Deere used when they made it.The hoses don't bother me as much as all the oil every where.

lol I hate hydraulics. I was going to replace every hydraulic cylinder on the place with electric cylinders until I realized how much it would cost me
