how many loads of fill should a mid sized ctl be able to rough spread per hour
It depends? I've never used a mid sized CTL, but with a large I could push out a tandem load of fill in a few minutes, faster going downhill, slower going uphill.
My c227 nh i can push a tandem load in a few minutes also..we do 10 end dumps spread a day plus grade to 1/4 inch with laser blade pretty easily.
How fast largely comes down to the operator. Like others have said the machine is capable of doing very fast in competent hands. No matter what color the machine is. If it is a 75 hp mid frame machine it is an easy day.
There are a lot of variables with that question. What model CTL? A mid size CTL is a relative term among manufacturers. What type of material? Sand is easier to push than a heavy clay for example. How big of a load? Single axle, tandem, tri or dump trailer? How big of a fill lift? A 4' lift is quicker to push off than an 8" lift for instance. What is the purpose of the final product? Commercial building pad or somebody's back yard? Compaction testing? All of those questions have a bearing on productivity.
I just wondered what my productivity was like compared to others. The job I was working on yesterday was filling lows where water stands in a horse pen. Just graded by eye with clean sand as fill material. The machine is a t590 bobcat the loads are trim axle. Thanks for the responses
If the load is placed on the dot where its needed it takes me about an hour, with my ASC RC 30, arguably the smallest sit in ctl...
A t590 is very nice machine..does same production as my nh c227.
Was just using our SVL95 on a fill site last week! Although 20hp more then your asking for I think??? keeping up to 5 triaxles running 30-40min cycle times... and still waiting...
Ive spread up to 35-40 loads { 10 yd } a day. Depends on cycle times. Takes barely 5 min per load with my bobcat t595 and 74 in bucket laying 6-8 inch lifts.
