    Vermeer 852 vs Bandit 2650

    Hello, would love to hear feedback from owners of these machines. What I am interested in hearing about is reliability, productivity, how much turf damage do they do, product support, the good, the bad , the ugly. If anyone has run both please let me know about your experience. Will be...

    Say it ain't so...

    Judging by their web site, looks like Vermeer discontinued the 372. It's no longer listed in their equipment offerings, if this is the case I really doubt the wisdom of this decision. You now have the choice of a Kohler powered hydraulic track machine at 40 hp, or a 35 horse gasser as...

    SC 372 questions

    After almost 20 years, I think it is time to put the trusted but tired 630B out to pasture. I demoed a 372 at the Vermeer dealer, (if you can call grinding against a log a demo) and found a lot to like. My biggest concern is traction, I can see that machine sinking quick in loose sand, etc...
