How A Bobcat with Treads like a Tank Came to be at Our Place

As you can see I’m starting to experiment with weird, interesting headings in order to draw people in . Do you think I’m succeeding?

Dad hired this bobcat to spread out a few of the piles of dirt that had been delivered to our place (I never told you that we had heaps of dirt delivered for free, did I?), as well as doing a few other jobs as well. He chose this type over the normal ones with four wheels because the tracks does less damage to grass and doesn’t compact the ground as much. Photos below as always.

Coming off the truck.

This is the future pad for a shed (a bit smaller than the current one) that dad wants to build some time.

About 4 months ago we moved the chookpen to a temporary spot while we built another chookpen further down from its old location. Because of this, we wanted to get rid of the concrete that had been used for the corner posts. Dad was annoyed because he spent days pouring the concrete and putting up the corner posts, but the bobcat just came along and took them all out within 10 minutes!

Here he is spreading dirt our around the place that the next chookpen will go. The dirt was spread out so that water can’t run across the dirt but instead goes around it.

Dad also wanted to make the slope on one area of the pad more gentle. Some of the dirt used to do this came from a mound (there are mounds about 60m behind the bobcat that were put in to provide a border for the house pad), and the rest came from some dirt mounds that are behind and to the left of where this photo was taken.
