The loader will do just fine for what you want to do, as I've moved an estimated 100+ tons of rock and dirt at my place and a couple of neighbors. I can easily move 24-tons of rock in an afternoon.

Back dragging with a FEL is an acquired skill and I have a back blade that I spin the blade around 180-degrees and remove the pin controlling tilt to let it float. For me that works pretty good.

I'd like a box-blade; but pallet forks are higher on my wish list.
