i have another equipment question for the pros. does any one have any experiance with a bobcat brand dozer blade??? looking to put one on my s175 to level paths in the woods ETC. it is an 80 inch wide model. i have no dozer and no immediate plans to buy one and am looking for something a  littlle more effective than the 2 way blade of the skidder for leveling borderline ruts in the woods. i do have steel tracks on the bobcat that i think will help. thanks

If you are referring to the current 6 way dozer attachment,it is a very good add on choice especially on the track models and with two add on wear plates is works good as a snow plow in the winter. The angle, tilt and raise/lower features sync. well and work ok with a load on them while adjusting.

The Caterpillar dozer attachment is even heavier and will mount right up to your Bobtach bracket, if you could find a used one you could save some money.
