[QUOTE="Matt7, post: 96351, member: 13782"] Hello, So, I have been tasked to find a Bobcat skid steer (only), to do a very specific job, and was wondering if you guys would help me put together the kind of rig I would need? Here is what the company needs: 1. A Bobcat that can drill a hole 12 inches wide and 14 feet deep (it doesn't have to go straight down and will mostly be used to drill at an angle). 2. All 14 feet of the drill part must stay attached to the Bobcat, at all times, going in and coming out (no assembling and disassembling going in and out). 3. It will be drilling into Hardpan soil. 4. It must be used and have tracks (tracks; ideally). The company used to hire a guy with a setup that did exactly all that, but he passed away a while ago, and I have no idea what his setup looked like. What I really need to know is how powerful a machine I will need. I see all the model numbers, but they are a bit confusing. Which ones should I concentrate on finding and which should I totally forget about? Do I need Hi-flow? Do auger drives have different levels of power? Do I need that orange drill bit? Anything you can tell me will be appreciated. The most important thing is the actually Bobcat by itself, and getting one that will absolutely be able to do the job (without breaking the bank).
