Farm Tractor Loader

Where should I start in order to build an ATV/MX track?

My father has partioned off 5 acres of his land for me and my nephews to build a atv/mx park. The land is flat farming land. We have a brand new tractor with a front loader, and various scrapers. Any suggestions or web sites that you can point me to. We are not expert riders but we would like to have jumps, mud pits, and other obstacles.
This would only be used for family and some close friends. Not for public use.

If you have a public track in your area, go talk to the owner. Ask them if they had to amend the soil, any problems they have with the particular ground in your area. Some soils are so difficult to work with, you will need to amend them.

Make sure you have irrigation planned for and easy to work with. A dusty track is no fun.

You can check out designs by watching races on tv, but keep in mind that those tracks are set up to challenge the best riders - not to keep beginning and intermediate riders happy and healthy.

Start small. Work in a large oval, make bermed corners by digging down, not building up. Use the dirt from the dug-out corners to build one whoop section on a straightaway, and one jump on the other straightaway.

Make a starting line coming in at an angle and heading into a left hand turn. The start should be about 2x as wide as the rest of the track.

Make jumps tabletops rather than doubles or triples. This way if someone comes up short, they wont plow into the face of the next jump.

If you start with a big oval, and play with it for awhile, you can then use the 'infield' to make more corners, jumps and whoops as you get to be better riders, and as you figure out what makes you happy. Leave the original oval in place, and have the new track components join into it.

By leaving the original oval integrated into the track, you have a 'beginner' loop always ready for anyone to ride.

For safety, if you plan on having more than a couple people on the track at one time, be sure you have plenty of run-out room between your track sections (don't have one whoop section going north - directly next to a jump headed south). Use hay bales or old tires as barriers between close and/or problem sections.

If you do have any friends over to ride, have your parents make a written set of 'track rules' anyone who is not family will have to read and sign the rules. This won't keep anyone from suing your parents if something goes wrong, but it will help keep arguments and problems to a minimum.

All About Construction Loaders

When you think of construction equipment loaders are what normally cometo mind. Loaders are considered tractors with the bucket on the front of the tractor and the engine on the back as a counter weight for thework. Unlike excavators most loaders use wheels rather than tracks. The types of loaders and uses are listed below.

Front end Loader: This type of loader is also called a bucket loader orscoop loader because it has a wide square bucket that tilts to capture the dirt or to dig out an area. The bucker is a removable attachmentso you can also use it as a forklift.
You can also use a clamshelltype of bucket that opens to grab whatever you are working on in its jaws.
Loaders are used for snow removal, dirt removal, farming, andconstruction sites.

Skid and Track Loaders: A skid loader is a smaller loader than theaforementioned equipment. Skid loaders use 4 wheels rather than tracks, but they are similar to the mini excavator in design with a hydrauliclift and bucket on the front of the equipment. The difference is where the life arms are positioned. They are behind the driver's shoulders rather than more forward of the cab.

Backhoe Loader: This type of loader combines two pieces of equipment into one. First off you have the traditional loader with the front-end bucket and the rear of the tractor has a backhoe. Inside the seat swivels so the operate can see what he or she is doing when operating the backhoe portion. When using the backhoe there are hydraulic stabilizers the operator will place on the ground in order to lift it off the ground a bit.

Loaders are very similar to excavators, but they each have their own uses. Most loaders are for the removal of debris or lifting rather than digging.
