Can CT235 handle over 300ft driveway maintenance?

Sure is...:thumbsup:. My wife thinks I'm nuts doing the driveway on this weather :laughing:. I just told her that if the piles are to get frozen then there is no way I can do it this year but wait 'till next year and have our garage doors block by the piles. She then said... Oh, okay do it now :laughing:. Well, I got two tri-axles load of 2a modified and spread it while snowing and raining at times. Maybe I am nuts .

The CT235 will handle your drive with ease. My road to my barn is about 350 feet. Built it by hauling and spreading over 900 tons of fill and CnR with my little CK25, including 40' of 2' culvert pipe plus spillway.

Be careful out there while it's wet. Your drive looks well-groomed. Won't stay that way there in the mud if it gets soft and you run those heavy lugged tires on it. Nice looking driveway. I'd be just as impatient. Doesn't look like you've done any harm thus far.

My driveway is 900+ foot long and the first thing I did in March when they delivered my CT-235 was to bring it back up to snuff, I had been without my 8N for 4 years and it was getting in sad shape.

Made it look like new with the help of my new Cat

CT235 should work wonderfully on 300ft of driveway.

It's what I'm planning to buy next for my 1400 foot drive.

Ditto the other comments here. I'm doing fine with a CT225 on 350 feet (plus a turnaround/loop).

I keep reading about this bobtach.............. what is this?

Bob-Tach is Bobcat's quick attachment device on the loader. Just like a skidsteer loader you can life the two handle and drop the bucket. Then pickup what ever you want and lower the handles. It is a must have! You can run any bucket, forks, etc that a skidsteer can pickup.

Awesome, is this an expensive option?

 

[Canada_CT230]

If it was $1000, I would still buy it. If memory serves it was maybe $200. Someone else that recently purchased may be able to exact the price.

It's no cost at the moment, but that will change shortly. You can also buy the adapter plate so that your existing implements can be converted to the skid steer style quick attach.
