opinion of bobcat for downramp?

[kawa909]

any you guys think a bobcat may beable to get a downramp taller, we just got a driver and a bobcat free of charge and hes going to try and build the downramp up. what are your guys thoughts? waste of time?

yeah i reckon it is a goer....it just take it a little longer becasue of the smaller bucket... but it can shape it when your done with the addition much better than a dozer could

[kawa909]

ok cool, we're sick or using the tractors and shit so we thought we would try this cos we're geting it for nothing so its worth a try i guess.

yer use they bobcat..then wen your finish get him to roll you downy so it's hard and u can use it straight away

yer man i have a bobcat where i ride n i build most of my stuff with it.... they are really quite good...

my dad has a bobcat and i drive it all the time. mad fun. i drive it when sumtihng needs done at work sumtimes aswell. anyway u really need to dirt to be dumped by a tipper or sumthing couse unless the ground is really soft the can't dig dirt up for shit ocuse they are to small. but they are awesome for shapping.

[kawa909]

we got plenty of dirt, it just getting a tad more hieght on the downy we will be using it for.

my dad owns a bobcat and he built a 2 and half meter tall landing for me and it works great he also made my moto track on our farm my mum wasnt to happy about me digging up the padok

nope.. you can use a bobcat for small down ramps, nothing over 2.2 high... its just too much of a job for the bobcats to do, might be alright for shaping, but def not goin up n down with dirt...

good luck

y would u say that. it isnt to big of a job. its nothing really. maybe a day in it. i have been driving for like 5 or 6yrs about and am heaps fast now. it doesnt take as long as u would tihnk.

[twitch fan]

yea if your good enough it can actually be done very quick i made a whole track in about 1 week

[kawa909]

well the operater is coming with it so lets hope he can stir some magic up on the day:)

[HILLIER]

fmf honda.... yeah u can do it in a day, but the bobcats gettin mighty worked.... u can do it with a Cat 936 in a hour if the dirt is there...... excavators will get it high but not always wide enough...

kawa just give it a go.. im sure it will work, dependin on how big u want it an how fast u need it...

mu

[kawa909]

well we got the equipment to finish it but we thought we may as well give this a shot cos my mate is getting it with the operater for a slab for the whole day. later this week dad is going to pick up a 4metre scoop for the back of the tractor so i should have the finished product on display by the week end, if the digi camera doesnt **** up again.
