That's unbelievable.. I have to wonder if that one has been modified to redistribute the weight to get it to balance so well.. The guy is an incredible driver though.. I've got hundreds of hours in bobcats, but could never imagine being able to do what that guy does..

Impressive! Weight modified or not, I assume it is, still impressive. Has to have the engine modified too, would need a positive oil pump of some sort, can't run that long with the oil pooled in the front of the crankcase.

Fella around here does many hours of dirt work a year with his tracked bobcat, he uses it like we would use a shovel. He leveled out the floor, and added gravel for my 48x81 shed, there was hardly any shovel work to do at all, I mean, like 10 shovels full on the whole shed, he can scoop and drop right up to the wall. He shakes gravel off the front of the bucket like we do with a shovel. I'm sure others in the business are as good, but it is just so Impressive to see good skills like this guy has.

Fantastic! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

I don't have a bobcat but do pretty good on a zero turn mower.
