Bobcats!

Takeuchi with a brush cutter. Shopped down about 30 trees with that fucker and threw the treads on it like 12 times. Such a bitch when you throw a tread.

I want a pet Bobcat!

Why did I say "shopped"?

I meant chopped down.

We've had pretty much every type of skid steer made operating with my crew at work. Last summer we had a t180 and that was definitely my favorite, tracks beat the shit out of tires! However, it did look pretty inadequate when working with the 330 excavator. You could pretty much fit the bobcat in the bucket of that thing haha.

For cereal though, I have used older Bobcats, a little, the kind where you have foot pedals to control your bucket. Where I work we have an ASV 4520, it might as well be a dozer with rubber tracks and skidsteer compatible attachments, the thing is a beast.

Swampy willow forrest...


First pass through





Clearing some Russian olives




Vinny drilling a hole



As far as stories... we have taken that thing through some pretty gnarly terrain in the mountains and through some steep coulees and ravines in the prairie.... We also drove 130 miles on the highway without locking down the ball hitch one time, when were unloading at the next job on Monday the trailer wheelied of the back of the pickup.... Really dodged a bullet there.

Used one of these to move logs around.

Haha my friend's parents own an excavation company here in Great Falls and I saw a picture of them using a 320 or 330 to get a t250 into an unpoured basement.

Once used a flat bed skid loader to pull logs off a dam. That's a piece of equipment.

The things are gigantic. It's insane when you are sitting in one and then get to see the true power that they have.

I'm jealous...

Never driven a bobcat. We use a John Deere 3105 around the house. I have driven a big Gleaner though and a large Ford tractor if that counts?
