| Jun 28, 2017 at 1:54 | comment | added | Johnny | @Sidney - you can take that order in good conscience. NYC has an elevation of around 33' over 303 square miles, or around 280B cubic feet. The Bobcat S130 has a bucket capacity of about 1/3 yd^3 or 3 ft^3. It would take 10,000 Bobcats around 9M bucket loads of earth to level off NYC. At 1 minute to take a load, and dump it somewhere else, it would take about 17 years just to do NYC. To do the USA, it'd take 1,000,000 bobcats around 130,000 years to level the 3M sq mi * 2500 ft average elevation of the entire USA. You'll have plenty of time to spend your commission check. | |
