You can rent a bobcat from an equipment rental place for like 150 for the day.
I think the key to a good jump is the lip and the slope of the landing.
It's hard to build good jumps here in FL because of the sandy soil.
If you've ever been to Durhamtown in GA and rode that big MX track, you know what I mean...it's soooo frickin smooth.
In Florida the jumps tend to decay to quickly.

Hey Walsh...
The key to operating heavy machinery like a dozer is to take medication.
They just put that warning on the bottles to keep you from having some real fun.

if you want a good jump that will last buy some sand mixed with 50% clay, so it will stay pretty solid, and not wear away as quickly, and when it rains it will not wash away.

Or just cover the top 6 inches or so with clay and pack it, then water it. it will last for a long long time.
