There is a good excuse to buy more tools.

Are you planning on building a track or is this something to maintain an existing track?
If maintaining.... but especially building, a dingo or small skid steer will really be over burdened, not to mention the amount of time it will take. I use my tractor for playing around with the dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and I can tell you, even a small double jump or 8 or 10 medium size whoops takes an enormous amount of material. It is quite surprising if you've never messed with it much. You also need to plan where/how you will be getting all this dirt. You don't want to move it any farther than you have to and if you are getting all your material from scraping the surrounding area, you are not only going to be pretty busy for some time but amazed at how much it takes to "collect" even a single jump using a small machine.
Not trying to bust your bubble, just some practical advice.

still waiting for dad to built it for me:mad: he has a front end loader we have like 400 ton of dirt and still got trucks bringing in more im 13 and love building things with the welder and grinder ect. so i was thinking why not build a mini tractor/type thing just to maintain my track and mum could use it in the garden so i dont got money to buy the plans thats why i was arfter some free ones. like i said i have some old cars and motorbikes to use for parts and a heap of old water pipe that i can use just for a bit of bracing still have to buy some box steel for the frame and the loader bit on the front o and the rams and a few hydro bits so thats what most of my money will be going on i was thinking of getting to rear diff's of the cars and shorten them to about 3-4ft and then linking them together with a prop sharft with a sprocket welded on it and run it with a 350cc or bigger motobike engine and for steering just useing the brakes on the diff's and brake one side at a time would this work or dose anyone has a better idea or some FREE plans that would be great thanks

i got a new idea i have 3 little honda tn-v or something that that they are a little truck type thing that can hold 500kg (1100lb) in the back. they have a little 360cc engine i think and its in the back over the diff so that would be a great weight to stop it tipping on its front when the bucket is full so i was thinking that i would get one going on the weekend and cut all the body off so its just the engine and wheels (just keep all the bits on her that she needs to run and drive and get rid of all the rest) then build a FEL for it. the truck is 4 ft wide and 10ft long would this work ?? o and put a bigger set of wheels on her for more ground clearance
