High-Capacity Posi-Track 4t – 5.5t wet hire
$2,500.00 +GST
Heavy-duty earthmoving operated by a Master Environmental Engineer.
Our 4T – 5.5T Posi-Track provides massive pushing power and lifting capacity for broadacre projects without destroying your topsoil.
When you book this wet hire service, you get heavy machinery operated with engineering precision. It is the ideal solution for access road construction, clearing invasive scrub, and large-scale soil preparation while maintaining superior traction and ultra-low soil compaction.
Product Description
The Broadacre Workhorse: High-Capacity Posi-Track Wet Hire
For large-scale permaculture projects, the 4T to 5.5T Posi-Track is indispensable. It combines the massive pushing power of a bulldozer with the agility of a loader.
Standard wheeled skid-steers (like traditional Bobcats) easily get bogged in wet conditions and cause severe rutting and soil compaction. Because our Posi-Track distributes its 5-ton weight over a massive rubber track area, it allows us to work safely on steep slopes, soft soils, and delicate permaculture landscapes while keeping ground pressure remarkably low.
Most importantly, you aren’t just renting a machine. You are hiring a Master of Environmental Engineering to operate it, ensuring every cut, grade, and push aligns perfectly with your property’s hydrological design.
What We Build & Manage:
-
Regenerative Site Prep: Clearing heavy lantana, removing invasive scrub, and prepping large areas for broadacre planting or forestry without stripping away your valuable topsoil.
-
Access Roads & Driveways: Precision cutting, spreading, and grading of road base to create highly durable, well-drained farm tracks that shed water correctly.
-
Dam & Swale Finishing: Precision grading of large earthwork berms, level-sill spillways, and dam walls after the excavator has done the heavy lifting.
-
Bulk Material Management: Moving massive quantities of soil, turning heavy compost windrows, or managing large-scale mulch applications quickly and efficiently.
How Wet Hire Works:
-
“Wet Hire” Defined: You are hiring the heavy machinery plus me as the experienced, engineering-qualified operator. (We do not offer “dry hire” for you to drive the machine yourself).
-
Checkout & Quoting: Secure your booking through the checkout. Because 5-ton machinery requires specialized heavy float transport and site-access checks, your checkout covers the base booking. We will contact you immediately to confirm your gate access, terrain safety, and any applicable travel/float fees based on your location in QLD.
-
Execution: We arrive on-site, review the topography and soil moisture, and execute your broadacre earthworks safely and efficiently.
Yes. For large projects like dams and major swale systems, pairing the excavator (for deep digging) with the Posi-Track (for moving the bulk dirt and final grading) is the most efficient, cost-effective way to execute earthworks. Please contact us directly if you need a dual-machine project quote.
No. This is strictly a “Wet Hire” service. You are hiring a 5-ton machine accompanied by an Environmental Engineer to safely and precisely operate it on your property.
A traditional “Bobcat” usually refers to a wheeled skid-steer. Wheeled machines exert high pressure on the ground, causing deep ruts and severe soil compaction, and they easily get stuck in mud. A Posi-Track (compact track loader) runs on wide rubber tracks, giving it immense traction, stability on slopes, and a very “light footprint” that protects your soil profile.
