Bobcat T870 grading gravel with a 100" snow bucket

[@SotaEngineering]

Great job putting that material down! I really like the T870, keep the cool videos coming!

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

That is a monster of a bucket

[@fishproet]

haha made tht 870 tip a little bit while sprinkling... heavy load for sure

[@The1man2know]

@pjs5191 its just a standard 100" snow bucket! i dont know if they make this one any different for tracks or wheels!

[@pjs5191]

Is that a wheel loader bucket on that T870?

[@lukebrwntube]

@The1man2know That is one large bucket. lol

[@ryanwagner1831]

Does Bobcat still offer the scpa controls?

[@Grggeorge]

Kind of a noisy thing like how the pump whines full time? The beeper is annoying

[@LuisSanchez2]

Nice. How wide is your bucket?

[@peterknight6996]

I would never touch one of these while I have a Terex PT100G. Having operated both and the Cat 299D, nothing comes close to what the Terex can do. Whether it be steep and rocky, beach sand, turf or bitumen. There is no comparison. I don't know why you guys in USA are still using gp buckets. Get a 4 in 1, you will be so much more productive. This type of work can be done in half the time simply withe a 4 in 1 and aspreader bar. You can come in open it as you go, get it roughly right then pick up the spreader bar and level off and you're done.

Peter, the undercarriage on your mtl do not do very well on construction sites. They are best suited for grass and mud, but in mud you never know if a rock is hiding in there. They have good traction and run smooth but the maintenance is brutal. Also, if the mud is left in the suspension to dry you are looking for trouble. We used to spend about 4k/year on a PT80, plastic wheels, bearings, etc.

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

why on earth would you use a snow bucket to grade rock or sand? sure way to destroy your pins and bushings and probably your cylinders too.

Cus he's not a pussy

[@argoconcretellc9674]

Ricky Bobby I actually laughed at your reply lol. I just bought this same bucket for filling slabs and grading driveways. That large volume will help me make those truck loads of dirt disappear a little faster.

I bought one of these July 2014, the front doors kept popping, we had to finish the season without doors because Bobcat UK ran out of doors. Then at 280 hours the track motor went, Bobcat did not have a spare anywhere in the world, two months without a machine or replacement they finally found a motor but took two weeks to get the motor from the USA to the UK! Its not reliable enough.....avoid this machine! And guess what, when I complain Bobcat wash their hands and now the £55K machine is only worth £35K apparently......avoid avoid avoid!
