Anyone know of a bobcat hire to level a small block and pull out some old bamboo? I can get any number of small operators with smaller machines but they have tracks and only a bobcat will be able to dance around the trees. Thanks in advance.

6 men with hoes and shovels = one bobcat in Th. Cheaper.

Have yet to find a bobcat or mustang.... Kubota supposedly have a tracked skid-steer loader available, yet to see one. I often dry-hired a bobcat in Oz for those difficult jobs ... awesome little machines!

What is used here, are Macro's .. or excavators. With tracks. I've used a few medium-sized ones @ 5k baht per day (as below) and the mini-macro's are cheaper @ ~3.5K .. wet hire, incl delivery.

Thanks Rob...I had the rig in your picture . That's why I need a Bobcat lol...The tracks really tear up the ground around my trees. It looks like six on a shovel . then.

Not entirely sure which vehicle is being delivered there.

Well, if you ever find a Bobcat in this couintry, let me know. I sure could use one but have never seen anything close. I need a big pile of topsoil I reserved carried around the property and spread. If it is "pushed" with a tractor: (a) I will lose a lot of it where I don't want it, and ( I'll get a lot of compaction I don't want as the tractor rolls back and forth repeatedly.

My wife urges me to use the "Captain Rob method": 10 men with shovels and wheel barrows. Cheaper, dirt exactly where I want it, no unwanted compaction.

I keep forgetting that people are cheaper than fuel here. Or another way of looking at it is that rice is cheaper than diesel.

You can find bobcat for hire with Italthai group, they have no branch in Chiang Mai, you can contact branch in Lampang (you will have more transport cost).

OK, I give in - what is a bobcat? (the machine, presumably, not the animal). Dumb Brit...

I think OP is looking for a mini compact excavator or similar.
