Tractor work with a Bobcat track loader and excavator

What the machines do

Tractor work is the general dirt and material work on a property that needs a machine but not a whole construction crew. We bring the machine and the operator, and the job is done in hours instead of days of shoveling.

Spreading: dirt, gravel, road base, sand and wood chips spread and leveled where you want them.

Scraping: weeds, roots and the top layer stripped off a lot or a pad, like the lot in our photos.

Moving material: piles moved across a property, to a garden, behind a barn or to where a truck can reach them.

Loading: trucks and trailers filled by the bucket, for us or for you.

Dirt roads and driveways: ruts filled and the surface bladed back to shape.

The Bobcat T770 and E45

The Bobcat T770 is a large compact track loader. Rubber tracks spread its weight, so it works on soft dirt and slopes where a wheeled machine would sink or slide, and its bucket moves a lot of material per trip. The E45 mini excavator digs, pulls stumps and loads where reach matters more than bucket size.

Both travel on our orange Diamond C equipment trailers. Where a job also needs digging, it is on our excavation page; leveling for a slab or a patio is on grading.

Rural and hillside properties

Much of this work is on bigger properties in the valleys and hills: ranches, horse properties, orchards and homes on acreage, where there is always a pile to move or a road to fix. Tracks make the difference on hillside ground.

Before any work that cuts into the ground, 811 is called so buried lines are marked (DigAlert), and larger amounts of dirt can need a county grading permit (Ventura County guidelines).
