Took your advice and because I can own only one machine I bought a brand new SK 1050 , so thanks for the advice and keep those Vlogs coming,stay safe and healthy
As an owner of the 1550 I have almost zero gripes with the machine. The one oversight I think they made is leaving that oil drain bolt so exposed on the bottom on the machine. One good size rock, and you have made a big mess and possibly caused damage to your engine. It should have a protective tab welded in-front of it or even better be countersunk in into that cut in the bottom to avoid any potential issues.
Once we had a cracked oil pan. It was expensive because the engine had to be pulled out of the machine. I always felt they need a drop pan to service the machine in cases like mine. It comes at a big expensive to the consumer. It's my one gripe sense it dinged me $3,000.00
What breaks down on them...all the time????.. Can't find any SK3000 owner reviews or any other info on a Google search like you can with most equipment

So cool.
No theirs a 30k difference
with the price of that machine I will buy a full size skid steer
I know it's ridiculous, not to mention repairs are so costly. It's a really expensive machine to own and maintain.
But they break down allllllll the time! I hv 4
They make us so much money we have no problem paying for repairs. We have a extra machine plus the Ditch Witch mobile mechanic is fantastic!!
