Tractor Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 on another note...most of the trails back there are rutts...bob cat no... Yeah don't ever take a bob cat back there. It took my truck an hour to yank a 9,000lb one out of being stuck in my yard a couple years ago. My yard is an old field and has drain tiles all over it. The bobcat drove over an area with one in it and got buried over its tires. I spent a couple hours trying to use its bucket to push it out and finally doing that plus using my truck to give it more room to work it was finally able to drive out. I did end up throwing my rear drive shaft and finished the job in front wheel drive though. Dozer might not make it either though. They aren't the best at mud. My dad has had his buried over the tracks before and it pulled a 2ft diameter tree out of the ground trying to winch itself out. Finally an excavator was used to dig a ramp for it to get free.

criitter7 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 if you have to pull a bobcat out with a truck you are full of fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 some dozers are designed for deep mud..ever see the ones with really wide tracks? those are it and most of the time, if it hasnt rained alot, then its not muddy back there, but as you see in mikes pics in the other thread, the only place there is mud, is in the rutts. and since i know how to run a dozer , i can have that shit flatted out, and have rutts left for the water to run away, and not wash out the track... id take the dozer and just start one big path around every thing, and start making stuff in the middle and so on...

Sky Rental up in westerville would be a good place to get one. They don't have hour meters so if you rented it for a saturday you'd pay 1 day and could use it all weekend. I've done that several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 if you have to pull a bobcat out with a truck you are full of fail You'd have to have been there. I've found that there are places in my yard that when wet, only a dozer or my truck on 38" boggers can drive on without sinking. So far my `05 taco has been stuck 3 times, bobcats 2, tractor 1. Its simply a matter of surface tension and bobcats unless they have tracks do not do well in that dept due to the heavy weight + tiny tires.
