I have no idea what your talking about. Just get a small bulldozer, thats all you need. $200 here will get you one for a few days. If you know how to use it, you could make a world class MX track. Stop making me imagine what I could do! D;

I wish I had more land. =P I have 9 acres, but its all dense forest, and tree removal is illegal here.
 
if you want an easy way to get dirt for jumps, I would use a roto tiller to losen it up, and a utility trailer for your quad to move it and pile it up. if heavy equipment is your thing, a mini excavator maybe? a bobcat?

I want to build a track sooooo bad. I have so many quads and no where on my property to ride them.
You're lucky to have all that open land.
 
hey man, look at local construction companys for dirt, get a loader and a bulldozer, and go to work, or u could till it and use the top layer of soil for the track but then u will have flooding probs like i have on my track, i dig deep pits between my doubles for dirt, adn i also have the track curve around and use the pit as a jump, lol, get creative, hell, rent a excavator and make that pond deeper, thats what i'd do
 
the council are doing the road outside my house atm(major road , alots changed since the pic lol) and there going tipping earth into that field so im gonna ask them not to flatten it but i think they have to by law so it doesnt flood or something !
 
I don't know about iteland, but around here the construction crews are cool, a case of beer can get your driveway paved if they are paving your road :P anyways, offer them a case of beer for some of their garbage dirt of something
 
Definitely ask the road crew to dump extra material on your property. They might even be willing to put it on your jumps for you. They were kids once, too.

ah yea but this is ireland, 5 council workers called out to dig a hole, 3 more to insert a stop sign, 5 more to fill the hole, 2 to boil the kettle, 3 to go to the shop, 2 holding up traffic at one end, 2 holding up traffic at another end, and one foreman. Then you get a sh*tty job done. Ask for some left over gravel " none left lad"

Any chance of a mini digger and roller, i will go halfs if you let me drive my 250 on it when its finished
 
haha you guys should start an irish group on the site. and don't worry, if the city council is doing anything in canada its half assed and over staffed, hmm nice ring to that. i mean external contracted companies doing big contracts, like pavers and such
