T185 skid-dozer?

[danfw58]

I have a little Bobcat T185 skidsteer. It has hard tires on it but seems like it has a lot of Torque. If I were to get some tracks and a 6 way blade, would it be sufficient enough to do some light dozer type work? Not real damp ground, but mostly making some motorcycle tracks for my grandkids to play on - lots of flat but some fairly steep hill climbs too.

Typically the T-models are tracked and the S-models are skid steer. But I don’t think they had a T185, just a T180 and T190. If yours is skid steer, it’s likely an S185. Depending on year, the S185 weighed about 5800# and had a 56hp diesel up to 6200# and a 61 hp diesel. It would have plenty of power to do grading, but I’d be a bit concerned about the hill climbs you speak of. Skid steers typically have a higher center of gravity than a standard dozer.
