What's the difference between a dozer blade and a snow blade? I have a simple job I need to move a little dirt, if I can keep the blade from tipping forward, will it do what I need or am I way off?

I need to grade some cart paths at our golf course. We have a small kabota tractor and I tried to use the box blade, but the ties just bogged down in the sand. We are going to add some gravel, and scrap the edges of what's there back into it, but I'm thinking if I can use my tracked skid steer I...

Just two quick pics I have, I can get more if you like

this looks like an old thread, but I just finished a similar project up. works great if i can get traction on my ice skating rink driveway

I checked the hoses for chafe all look good. Don't know what et scanner is...

I did a thing ... Made the choice today and picked up the Caterpillar 247.

Looked at a 2005 Cat 247 today with 3600 hrs.... what can yall tell me?

Thanks. Well. I will not be studding. I would like to have one set of tracks or tires and replace when needed. I've had my 642 for over 10yrs, on the tires I bought it with and it probably needed tires when I got it, so anything will be an improvement. When I do transition from terrain, I don't...

Also found a Cat 247. What's the difference between the 247, the 247b, and the 247b2?

As recommend, I'm going to start a new thread. I am at the point that my toes hurt too much to continue plowing my driveway for the next 20 years with my 642b bobcat. I need something with an enclosed cab and heat. I've been wanting a bigger machine with more power for some time, and the price...

our economy is garbage. I looked up what these machines values are and they are listed $10k- $15k plus what they are valued at. All enclosed machines are over $20k with over 2500 hrs. I'm just kinda lost. I wanted to get a new car or truck in the spring, but now this. I could maybe get a new-er...
