    Dont forget landscape fabric, soils will eventually wash into stone expand , push wall over

    Crazy to run your beautiful new bobcat thru that slop to accomplish nothing.

    Man that’s tough to watch 😩 hope it got a real good bath, it mite have been good to lay a bunch of plywood down when first starting? Who knows? Cool video though!

      Tell me about it! I spent about 3 hours cleaning it after that job was done. I have poly mats but when its that muddy they only get buried. Thanks for watching!

    There is no reason to be working in the mud like that , you are not accomplishing anything just wear on the machine and destroying the customers yard,

      Generally I would agree, but in this situation we didn't have a choice. The day prior we had 50 yards of dirt dumped in the customer's front yard. There was no rain in the forecast but it decided to down pour over night. In addition to the over night rain there was now rain in the forecast for the next 3 days. So I made the decision to move the dirt from the front yard so there would only be 1 mud pit instead of 2. Thanks for watching!

      AGREE 100%. JUST MAKING A BIG MESS. WITH RAIN/SNOW POSSIBLE, IT'S OBVIOUSLY IN A SEASON THAT YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL DOING A JOB OF THAT NATURE. SOMETIME WAITING FOR APPROPRIATE WEATHER IS A GOOD CHOICE. 50+ YEARS AS A DESIGN/BUILD LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR HAS TAUGHT ME SOMETHINGS.

    We have a T64 ive been running i love the comfort but honestly our old S195 had more power . If i have a completly full heaped up buclet load and try to travel uphill with it i have to creep or else it bogs the machine down so bad it about kills it. But i still like the T64 better.

    Are those the standard width tracks? Hows the ride? Haven't had a chance to run one yet,I'm still on a 863g wheel. I sounds like it has enough power. Good luck with your machine

    • @srmcontracting

      Yes they're standard width. It's night and day over a wheeled machine. Thank you!

    This is the Machine I’m gunnin for. I have a 2016 Ford F 250 with 6.2 Gas. It’s rated to pull 12,000. Would this 66 be compatible for Towing? That’s the reason I’m not getting T 76. Too heavy.

    • @srmcontracting

      This machine weights about 9,000. Any trailer capable of hauling it will most likely weight around 4000. So I think you will be over your 12k limit you mentioned. Best of luck!

      The T66 with a bucket will probably be around 9500lbs conservatively could even figure over 10,000# depending on attachments. Will certainly need a 14,000lb trailer to handle it. You might be able to come close to 12,000 total weight if you get a aluminum trailer, they are about 2000lbs, so added to the T66 you would be right there at 12,000 total. I went aluminum trailer to keep my total weight from pushing me into a cdl as my trucks GVWR is over 11,000 so i couldnt go with a steel trailer or id need a 16,000lb trailer and that would put me over. My aluminum trailer gives me leeway to go with the T76 even but i think im ordering the T66 anyway. Bobcat dealer is letting me demo both on my construction sight to see which one i prefer before ordering.

    What rpms were you running it at during the video because it sounded like the machine was struggling

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  3 года назад
