I don't know what a truck like this would run you though.I know it's ideal to have one machine to do the lot, but if your requirements are bobcat alone, you may have a hard time doing that. If you look at other brands, get a suitable sized excivator and auger/auger drive and you can drill holes that deep.It is always possible, yet unlikely that his machine was branded bobcat, but wasn't really a bobcat machine. Decals can be stuck to anything.....</blockquote>
