[QUOTE="Sawblade, post: 647877, member: 19971"] tnrider, As a kid growing up on a farm I had access to large farm equipment, plus the 3 acres I used had been farmed over 40 years so the dirt was not as compacted from being tilled. My point is you can get the same effect with smaller equipment, it just takes more time and patience's. I would thing that with a 3 point hitch disk with weights you could be down to 4 - 6 inch's. Plenty of dirt to work with. Also, High Lord Gomer makes a great point about drainage. There's almost nothing worse then having a mostly moist tacky track, only to discover the turns are setting water. I'm not sure about using wood to frame out the jumps. You wouldn't be able to ride the track backwards if you did. As for the width, even for a private track wider is better. The width of a bobcat is maybe 48", I'm not sure. Not much room for even you and a buddy to try passing each other back and forth. I would suggest to start with 10', but I think you will find at least 15' would be better. One last thing. If you do use a bobcat, you can fill the bucket with dirt and use it to help pack the dirt down, then use the wheels of the bobcat. I know a guy that use's a bobcat on his track. Its amazing what he can do with it in 30 minutes. dkortje, The lighter/sander the soil the more re-work you will have to do as you have found out. Why not use the dirt you have on your land and use the ligher fill dirt to mix in on the straights and in the turns? [/QUOTE]
