1. hello Jim I realize this is a old video I've had four Bobcat S70 getting tired of getting in and out of that small cab I understand Bobcat has a new mt85 joystick control ride on do you think that could replace a bobcat S70
2. Nice MT55 , how good is that.
3. hahaha is better a big bobcat i can get it done faster by doing it by hand lol
4. I'm thinking of renting one of these for a weekend. They're pretty cheap. I've got a big pile of fine shale that I want to load into my dump trailer. I'm wondering if these have a decent amount of penetrating power or if I should consider a small excavator. That pile's been there for years.
5. anyone that has enough money should buy a Vermeer 800 TX or the latest Ditch Witch Diesel because at approx.the same weight and width they have twice the power ,OC and TP plus go a mile or two faster whitch counts if you don't own a Mud Buggy...
6. Lately we changed our system where we dig down a foot or two ,put down some wood planks or old 4x8' plywood then drive our 3/4 ton diesel plus HD Dump Trailer through it so that only the trailer is "in the hole" in case of rain (when the job comes to the end we just level from the other side to fill the hole or use it as a ramp to get higher up). the other option would be to make a ramp from soil or lumber at the beginning but the system is prone to shifting and trailer damage...
7. Wow, slightly faster than a shovel...
8. Our Ditch Witch sk 650 can barely load a 5 yd dump truck.
9. We never outgrow toys...they just get a little bigger.
10. некоторые мужчины никогда не вырастут из детских игрушек...
11. Prolly paid a lot of money for that little worthless machine
12. also...doing the loading from the "dirty" side safes you a lot of clean up... In general , criteria for buying any mini skid steer should not be determined by its capability to reach high (buy a lower dumptrailer) but rather the amount of work you can sell where no full size skid steer can go witout doing all that destruction and rebuilding fences...
13. had mine for 4 years now and have never dumped into a truck...on my dump trailer I take out the 2"x12" sidebooards and make myself a ramp (from soil or sand with a rubber mat on it). Also loading from a high curb side helps.My trailer bed sits 2.5 ft high so when you buy a trailer think before you buy...a trick to load....towards the end load some soil near the side wall then punch down and curl your bucket ..makes the centre mound move to the other side and safes you to load from the street ...
14. Bobcat makes a quality skidsteer but with the minis I'd probably have to go with toro or Vermeer
15. @tidalturfdotcom Not really sure. I would think the bucket would hit the inside of the box of a half ton when you dump it. Remember, the higher you raise your arms the shorter your reach.
16. HAHA! Dan looks like he's ready to go on a safari!
