Yup weapon of choice right here http://www.exriders.com/vbb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2071397 i'm not sure how long, but it will be fun. I'll also be using a skidsteer to smooth the landings etc.

That is a big dozer. I have a skidloader, but not a dozer. I have made a few small jumps, but not a track. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'm hoping to really get started in the next few weeks when it starts to warm up.

You are going to need some dirt unless you have quite a bit on site. It is supposed to get warm here this weekend. I am hoping to get to go Haspin Acres. Do you know if the cost went up or not?

I'm not sure if its up or not, It's supposed to be NICE this weekend here. I was wanting to head up there this weekend but I'm not sure if my KFX will be ready or not. As for dirt, most of it will be pushed up, because of all the dips etc. And I'm going to dig alot, and I will let everything drain into a creek right below the pic and hope the water drains and dont sit.

That is good that you don't have to bring in a lot of dirt. It sucks when you have to do that. You can make little trenches with your dozer to help channel the water to your creek. I am hoping to get to Haspin sunday if everything goes as planned.

Here's a real dozer...

1948 with a Chevy 305 V8 dropped in it with a 4 spd manual tranny attached to the tranny of the bulldozer, so it actually has around 9 gears. Mods include Edelbrock 650CFM 4 barrel carb w/ Edelbrock intake and Hooker shorty headers w/ true dual exhaust...This dozer has awesome power and will push anything, we are actually thinking about welding plates onto the track (can't afford a better track...those things are expensive!) so we can actually get traction. This dozer sounds mean as hell when it's roaring pushing a boulder that's the size of your car...:macho

Good luck on your track and have fun with it.
