This is NOT a question you should ask here, you should get this information from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) as there are too many variables. Such as isolation pads, the tolerances you expect the machine to hold... and so on and so forth.

I've seen some machines not as big as yours that required over 6 feet (dept) of concrete and an isolation pad.

Good luck

exactly what I had in mind, Labyguy! GA there.

even a civil engineer can at best only guess at an answer. the OEM is the best source for this.
