Hey there trail builders!
I am pleased to announce that IMBA Aust, in partnership in IMBA (US) and Sutter Equipment (US) are bringing a purpose built trail building dozer to the land down under to help contractors and land managers punch out some quick kilometers of fun, flowing single track.

This thing is one mean beast when it comes to cutting trail and our main motivation is to help Aussie communities achieve their trail dreams quicker and cheaper than ever before.
This loving reconditioned machine is on a boat, bound for Botany Bay, and it will be forced to work like a convict!
As part of a national tour, the first project is in Adelaide during October. TrailScapes (Garry "Patto" Patterson) won the contract to build 15 km of MTB specific trail in a Dept of Environment and Natural REsources Reserve (that's a first for SA as it basically represents National Park tenure @ Craigburn Farm not far from Belair). Patto reckons the Dozer will be the perfect tool for the job and he got in first!
After working it in Adelaide the plan is to take the dozer back to Sydney via some "demo" projects in Vic (yet to be announced). We are also looking for demo projects in Sydney. For interested parties who may need to blast out some trail quickly the charges for using the Dozer are $6900 + GST for machine and operator for 10 working days (2 weeks). This one off price does not include transport costs. In 10 days in the right conditions, we think we can cut somewhere between 5 and 10 km of trail.
So we are looking for demo sites with "shovel ready" projects and if you are interested for December and onwards, let us know.....
Naturally we are keen to hear from trail contractors who would like to use the machine which can be rented for a reasonable rate too.
cheers
