Mini excavators & skid steers for Dairy Farms

Tasmanian dairying runs from Smithton and Circular Head along the North West Coast to the Meander Valley and Scottsdale. High rainfall, red basalt soil, clay in the gullies and a lot of water to manage.

The jobs

Laneway construction and repair with a skid steer and a dozer blade or 4-in-1 bucket; effluent pond and drain work with an excavator; feed-pad and shed-pad preparation; water lines to troughs; fencing and gateway drainage.

Machines that suit

The R22 PRO for water and drainage, the R57 PRO for effluent ponds and larger earthworks, and an RS10 skid steer for laneways, feed pads and silage. A 4-in-1 bucket, tilt bucket and trencher are the attachments that pay.
