This place is 3' of topsoil with a clay base. Almost limitless dirt to work with. Pretty flat so we have to build our own technical challenges. I try to copy a lot of SX features - whoops, split lanes, step-on-offs, rhythm sections. Then I have a few sections that are pretty flat so we can work on 100% throttle in 3rd and 4th gear.

That's 8 yards of sawdust. It's enough to do all the areas where I want good traction. Maybe1500 feet of track? I also have a few yards of chipper stuff that I will blend in. I rip a foot deep, then bucket it over a section, rake it out a bit, then till it about 6-8" deep. It's anywhere from 1-3" deep after raking depending on what I want as end result. I'll take some shots of the process tomorrow.

When it's all done, it's the best loam I've ever ridden. Majik carpet ride it's so silky.
Perfect! Thank you

Couple from today. Dirt is prime for working. Tomorrow I will start getting the sawdust tilled in after we clean up this section.

I see you used wood chips in some areas. I have a ton and was thinking about integrating them. Do you recommend them? Any long term issues with using them?

Track looks sweet btw! Where in VT? I went to school up there and raced a few times in Derby.

Only bad thing about wood chips is if get a bad start they get under my goggles. Also the dirt I eat following someone with chips in it give me a sore throat. They do make for great dirt though .

2 days, 2 guys, 2 grand. At least 18 hours on the meters of the equipment but we rebuilt the entire track and it’s bad ass now. Tough today as we fought a couple heavy showers. Some visitors made it special.

We had a bunch of woodchips delivered for free so we added them to parts of the track where the dirt wasn't as good. Woodchips help retain moisture and will eventually decompose into the soil. This practice track is on the MA/CT border, not VT

The last few weeks of "Stay at Home" have allowed me to work on our home track on the weekends when not isolated at work. More rain is inbound for the next four days so that should leave us with some nice wet dirt to continue shaping things up in the coming weekend.

That was my son riding a (90) CR-500 that he has been building. He’s been riding it the last couple of weeks and gaining respect for these big beasts.

Nice. I just finally finished my '89 CR125 and broke it in. So fun to ride the old bikes.

anyone build any of these jumps with JUST a small tractor?
Im buying a new one this week and going to tough it out and build the best track I can with it but I do have to use it for other purposes so I cant just get a bobcat/skidsteer.

I've tried with a 30-35 HP unit, never with as small a tractor as you are talking about. It's not worth the wear on the gear IMHO. If you are doing gap jumps it's possible. If you are doing tables forget it. You'll be there forever. You can do a 60' table in 90 minutes with a D5, assuming you have the dirt. It'd take days with a small tractor.

Also, those you are looking at are NOT stable on side slopes. They roll easy. Narrow track, high COG. Don't get hurt. They might be ok for basic dragging or tilling, but that's about it.

Nope..I use a 30hp tractor for maintenance but to build you need a decent size dozer minimum unless you plan on taking years to complete it. You would get more done in a weekend with a dozer than a month with a small tractor....speaking from experience as I have logged thousands of hours building track over the years......I would take a tractor over a skiddy for overall property maintenance. More versatile and implements much cheaper. A tracked skiddy would be better for doing jump faces but that's about it.........

Totally agree. I have a skid as well as a tractor that is a little larger than what u are looking at. The tractor could be used to fix jumps and groom the track (tho i use my JD 3020 for grooming). It would take week or more to build a 45ft tabletop provided u had dirt soft enough that the little loader could easily cut into it. For instance i just revamped my track and a friend brought his skid over for a few days to help me. I had an area that i plowed and then tilled to pull dirt from. It took 2 7000lb machines a full day to build a 50ft tabletop. My smallest tractor has 1/3 the bucket capacity of my skid and is much slower to operate than a skid. If the tractor will be your only means to build. Definitely loosen the dirt with a tiller at a minimum. Preferably someone with a bottom plow to loosen up 12-18”. For instance the jump mentioned above took an area of about 1/2 acre and we used a good 12” of the 18” of depth. The amount of dirt it takes to build jumps will absolutely blow your mind.

If i were to start over, id rent a dozer and decent size loader for a weekend. A decent operator can get A LOT done in a weekend with the right machinery. If u have a friend that knows how to run one, they would probably be happy to help.

If i added up the time i have into my track with my 2 tractors (small one is 30hp/2400lbs big one is 70hp/10,000lbs) and my skidsteer plus a friend in his for 2 days i have probably 3 solid combined weeks into building it last year and revamping it this year.


I absolutely would not try to build a track with a tractor that small solely from the standpoint that they are not built for that kind of work.... forget about all the time it would take.... you would put way too much work load on it and wear it out really fast. Having said that you could absolutely maintain it with a machine that small

anyone build any of these jumps with JUST a small tractor?
Im buying a new one this week and going to tough it out and build the best track I can with it but I do have to use it for other purposes so I cant just get a bobcat/skidsteer.

Getting a JD 2025R or B2301

Nope..I use a 30hp tractor for maintenance but to build you need a decent size dozer minimum unless you plan on taking years to complete it. You would get more done in a weekend with a dozer than a month with a small tractor....speaking from experience as I have logged thousands of hours building track over the years......I would take a tractor over a skiddy for overall property maintenance. More versatile and implements much cheaper. A tracked skiddy would be better for doing jump faces but that's about it.........
Completely agree

The last few weeks of "Stay at Home" have allowed me to work on our home track on the weekends when not isolated at work. More rain is inbound for the next four days so that should leave us with some nice wet dirt to continue shaping things up in the coming weekend.
Man that track looks sweet! I'm based in LA - trade labor for ride time once quarantine is over?

Awesome! Got to love the TTRs. Some of our most fun motos have been on our wife’s bikes. We have had some epic battles! Last time we did that i blew a brand new set of fork seals on my wife’s ttr. I had replaced them because i had blown them the weekend before while battling with the guys. Those little bikes can take a beating so long as u pay attention to the spokes.

Bunch of random pics I had on my phone but I’m lucky cause my home track is a 660 acre facility with two MX tracks, a kids track, 12+ miles of offroad trail with access to the local trail system which is connects to all ATV trails in the state of Maine.

Don't let these guys discourage you. You can build a track with that. Yes it will take years and lots of time, but it will do it. I started my with shovels and a pickup truck.

Plus with the lock down in place you may have lots of time to kill and what better way to do it.

Nice. I just finally finished my '89 CR125 and broke it in. So fun to ride the old bikes.
Fun indeed, most of our stable consists of 80’s and 90’s bikes. My son is also working on a killer 89 CR-125 that is a bit over the top and still wants to ride it!

You're thinking about Ron Nickerson's track off of route 4 in Turner. He shut it down for riding and it's all grown in but he keeps it mowed which makes it look like a dream. It was a cool track but people got sue crazy so he decided to shut it down before he got screwed over. You can still see all the obstacles and course layout under the grass when you drive by.
