well welcome back the Steve rahab reviews today I have a special guest and this special guest is
going to explain everything you need to know about making bush roads and trails and I have a 100 Acre
bush light up Norton Ontario I need a new piece of equipment the piece of equipment you see in
the thumbnail is my Kubota b-78 tractor it's been a great tractor but you know what it's not cutting
in what I need I need a piece of machinery to go back in the bush make some Bush trails maintain my
road big stumps move some rocks move some dirt move some gravel so what's the best piece of
equipment for you to buy well I can't give you that answer I'm looking for that answer myself
because I've got a special guest my buddy Keith from the Bobcat guy and I'm looking at five pieces
of equipment I want Pete Keith to give me his best professional opinion he owns most of all
this equipment he's operated so many pieces of equipment he owns his own business he's helped
Alberta Canada and he knows what he's talking about so here's the five pieces of equipment that
I'm considering a compact tractor loader backhoe something similar to what I have now except it's
got a final order and about call next one is a mini excavator bulldozer 350 450 class full-sized
backhoe that's another alternative and the last one would be a skid steer and whether it's rubber
tire or whether it's tracked I'm thinking tract would probably be the best I'm not an expert I'm
looking for Keith's opinion I'm gonna get Keith right now and we're gonna ask you exactly if
you're looking for one piece of equipment that can do everything you need to maintain a remote
piece of property like I have what would it be and you know there's a lot of people looking at
getting a piece of equipment and most people get a tractor like I have they put a front end loader on
it and you know what my tractor weighs lucky 2,000 pounds including me sitting in the seat so today
let's ask Keith and find out exactly what piece of equipment do you actually need to get the job
done making trails in your bush and maintaining your remote property key take it away buddy well
thanks Steve for inviting me in on this question the first thing I would look at is the condition
of your area that you're in so we're going to utilize you got a bush camp I'm guessing it's
probably softer ground out there so I would highly recommend nothing with tires due to the fact that
they've talked to you in the past and you said that when you're out running your quad and stuff
and it leaves ruts so that means Bobcats loaders anything like that with rubber tires are gonna
be an issue creating a lot more ruts softer Jets and getting stuck so that's gonna also come back
to aiding with tracks so now we're talking mini excavators naps Bobcats are sorry skid steers with
tracks any of those things would be my next option to look at the only thing that I would probably
not recommend is excavators due to the fact that if you need to move any amount of dirt from one
location to the next a little slow and cumbersome they do have their purposes so I would take that
one off the Mort so that's including the mini excavator and the bigger estimators I would go
back and look at skid steers with the tracks due to the fact that their attachments but I think I
found the perfect thing for you for one piece of equipment that would probably help you or help
anybody in the bush and I came across it it is John Deere makes one and Caterpillar makes one
it's called a Blee with 350 doser with a bucket attachment so you got a front end loader on the
front so you can push snow and all that stuff plus it's got backhoe attachment on the back so if you
had to do any digging moving any tree stumps stuff like that it would work perfect the only thing I
would highly recommend for anybody that was going to purchase one of these is if you're gonna do any
winter work be in the fact that it's steel tracks I would get some steel cleats welded onto the
tracks and that just helps from sliding around in the snow cuz everybody knows that steel tracks on
icy snowy grounds will slide all over the place and how these pleats will definitely definitely
help you out so I hope that helped you guys out there on what Steve Rob was asking me that's the
kind of piece of equipment I would recommend if you only were allowed to buy one it's kind of a
multi-purpose would do pretty much everything that you would need towards slower Louisville cutting
new Bush maintaining your trails out there and everything like that so I hope you enjoyed this
video of if you guys would like you can come and check out my channel it's the Bobcat guy and sure
Steve will have a lake at the bottom here and if you like the content to subscribe and break that
Bell preciate you steam for asking these questions and yeah we'll see you guys in the next video
