Spent my Friday afternoon getting the go kart track ready before some friends come over and we had a great night of racing. Used John Deere 110, 855 and 655 to Perp the track.

Lol come join us good excuse for a trip 😜
Your track prep worked out incredible.
Those 110s are handy little machines and the backhoe works so much better than just a pto one.. Track looks good thanks for sharing !!
That was great to have a race track so available!
I really wish we had some tracks like that over this side of the pond ! All much bigger, and tarmac-no good for beginners !!
Watching your vlogs is like attending a construction vocational school. I'm sure there's hundreds of younguns watching learning to get into your profession. Just as it should be, one generation passing on their knowledge to the next.

Brought back memories when I was a kid....a long time ago.
That’s cool we built 3 tracks here locally in 3 different back yards. Now we have 15-20 flat karts traveling the “circuit “ every week. All 3 tracks are different, makes it exciting. Good job on the track.

Now that's the way to spend a Friday and Friday night! Very cool to see the "work hard, play hard" guys running neck and neck and having a great time. I bet the trifecta and you pulled it off, Mike! Very nice job on the track prep, video, and the sound work. 2 thumbs up from here! Drove it like ya stole it, NICE Doug@ the "ranch"

Nice !! bring more of the go kart track to videos! I race go karts I'd make the 3 hour drive to come run with y'all! Just started following you this summer ..
Watch you and MBTS everyday💪
Looks like a lot of fun 👍😃
Fun! Those double-V scraper things are super handy. Got a mini one myself. A guy near me builds and sells them and sometimes he welds flat across the back V on the bottom to make kind of a cutting edge on it. Works pretty slick. Then he puts places to hang suitcase weights on them too. Looks like a nice track! Thanks for sharing!

wow that's awesome banking on there. We had trouble with that part on ours a few years back, but it was still a lot of fun and we had limited equipment anyways. We made one about 2/3 the size of this. Your track is very well made and I wish I could run it.
Ha ha I ran that fuel in my 1970 Cadillac deville. But I didnt make it fly but it should have. Lol lol. Heart video and that track looked great and fun.
We had a dirt track out here it was a lot of fun and work, I get the track ready and then have to work on my go-kart or somebody else's. Great video Stay safe Dwayne

thats a great attachment,, never seen one here, i gotta build one for the front of my 25hp lawn tractor, and built it to hook tho the H frame for the snow blower head, and hook up a big pump to one of the pto shafts, one in front, one in center and one at the back, that hardest part to find tho is a female spline that fits the pot shaft, it is a 1-1/8" shaft with really fine spline, the coupler for hooking up the drive shaft for the snow blower and mower deck it so big and bulky, with a 3" pull back collar to lock on, but for a pump, just need a plain coupling witth pto spline on one end and a 1/2" round w/ way for the pump, slip on slip off, i have all kinds of diferent size and RPm hydrolic motors kicking around from when i worked in the bush and they stripped down the old short wood koring harvesters and we build de-limbers, truck log loaders out of them, dam cabs were 18 feet off the ground, that power rake would be a snap to build, never seen on at any equipment dealer here, that works great, that must have also what was on the skid steer when i said it was going so fast you couldnt see the bucket, and you said it was a power rake... this is what you was talking about, but one that fits skid steer.. i can look at something and have a snap shot in my head and build it..

Big fan Dirt Perfect. Watched the video a couple times cause I’m thinking about building something similar on our family property in western Wisconsin. Quick question though, could you tell me more about your compacting roller that you towed behind that smaller tractor. Did you buy that or was it another one of your builds?

a tip for you put lysol in your water about 1 gal to a 1000 gallons of water , also when u run your track in pack it in the opposite the way u race on it will give u a smoother track to protect your bottom end as u say it.

i thought that was an RC track.. like we have in town, i built the same kind of watering system for mixing calcium in water to put on mt 2800 feet of drive way to stop the dust, i built the tank with a hopper on top so i can dump 50Lb bags of calcium into the tank as the pump is blasting water in, them i want a 1/2" air hose in the tank for half hour to mix it up
