CD-ROM shows laser-guided
grading techniques
equipment — compact loader, and laser-guided grader and box blade attachments — can save you money in fl atwork preparation.
A more precise fi nal grade can be achieved with the Bobcat laser system, as much as +/- .25 inches. You will save on the costs of material when using a laser-guided system. Even experienced operators cannot be accurate to +/- .25 inches over the entire grade. If a fl atwork contractor was off by a half-inch on a 300-by-300-foot slab, the extra 138 yards of concrete needed could easily cost more than $13,000. The formula assumes the price per yard of concrete is $95. The cost savings could pay for the laser control system based on this example, and over time could pay for the compact loader, too. Laser-precise grades in one pass minimize errors, lower labor costs and build profi ts for compact equipment owners.
Ask your local Bobcat dealer for a copy of the Bobcat Precision Grading System on CD-ROM, or mark it on the enclosed WorkSaver Dialogue card. Learn how Bobcat®
ATTACHMENT WARRANTY FORGED IN BOBCAT STEEL
“Visibility is important to me because I want to see everything around me and where I’m going. With the cab-forward design and bigger window in the door, I can see the attachment much better.” — Jared Morris
Roller Suspension System (see page 31 for illustration) dramatically reduce vibrations and bumps as the loader travels across the ground. The system also helps with turning, produces less noise and provides an overall more comfortable work environment.
Morris owns fi ve Bobcat loaders altogether: four compact track loaders (one T320, a T300 and two T870s) and a 773 skid-steer loader. He purchased the loaders from his local dealer — Bobcat of Cedar Rapids. “The rubber track undercarriage makes it a lot easier to grade around a house, especially if it is muddy, because of the extra traction,” he says.
He pairs his 773 loader with an angle broom and bucket to keep the streets in the development free of dirt and debris, keeping it out of the storm drains. He says this is important because the city pays close attention to the streets and he can be fi ned if they’re dirty.
While other companies have called on Morris and encouraged him to switch brands, he hasn’t strayed from Bobcat models. “We have tried other loaders, but Bobcat is still No. 1 to me,” Morris says.
