[Cob] bobcat vs rototiller

[dhowell at pickensprogressonline.com]

Thanks for the reading, just wanted to let you know that my experience with the rototiller didn't fare so well because I wasn't mixing enough, just experimenting and didn't want to waste material. I had a bobcat, borrowed from a neighbor, over for moving rocks so I just went ahead and tried mixing cob with it and it worked great. I have thought if I done a larger amount of cob then the rototiller would work better. But the point was how fast and easy it was to use the bobcat, not how much it costed, because, believe me, I don't have much money!

I can easily do 5 wheelbarrows of sand and 5 wheelbarrows of clay (2000 pounds) mixed and put on the wall in one day with one assistant using a 5 Hp front tine rototiller and mixing on a concrete slab. I have also used the rototiller mix and mine clay while building water harvesting trenches which are filled with brush and wood chips.
