I used a little skid steer...and it was fun. If I had a bigger area to do, I would've rented something bigger. Shouldn't take you too long to have 'er figured out...ain't like it's rocket science.
rollin coal and Al. Roper Thank this. -
Yeah it takes practice. Driveway is almost 700 feet long. For most of that distance it's 12' wide. That stretch is the easy part. The parking/turn around or pad area is a little more work. The driveway part is looking good. The pad, ehhh, it'll look better when it's got gravel covering it. I ####ed up a couple of spots I'm sure they'll be puddle areas.
Al. Roper Thanks this. -

Do the rough leveling of drive and pad. Then hire someone with a grader to finish.
I hire someone to smooth my driveway every other year. Mine is gravel. I add about 20 feet a year couple more years I'll have a complete u around my house.
Now I back off the road. -
I'd come over to help supervise and offer advice. But I'm guessing you already have plenty of that "help".

Have a good day. -
Actually my buddy rode his bike down to have a look see and ended up box scraping. He said he could have done it with that alone no need for the dozer but #### it sure does move dirt easy. Not finished yet. We'll hit it again tomorrow if it doesn't rain and finish it.
HopeOverMope, 88 Alpha, Nostalgic and 3 others Thank this. -
I've done a ton of work with a 5' box blade over the years - in fact you can do just about anything with it if you don't mind the time it takes. I just spent a day in my dozer and had I used the back hoe and the Kubota with a box blade, it would probably take me at least a month, if the weather cooperated. I pushed a lot of trees over, and plucked out 4-5 large stumps, the backhoe alone would have taken a couple days, and not pushed the trees around nearly as easy. Cat D5C XL Hystat, it's definitely spoiled me.
Al. Roper Thanks this. -
