My buddy is building a house on a little over 2 acre plot. They have removed the trees needed to build the house, drain field, road, etc. However the soil is very rough, when you are standing out there, one of your two feet maybe as high as 12" up or down from the other. Almost as if you plowed and then disked the soil, and you have large clumps of earth pattern together. The goal is to smooth this out to a flat surface area. I brought my tractor out over the weekend, and begain to back drag with the rear of the FEL pointed at a 45' angle down toward the soil. This seemed to work, however it took me several passes to get an area flat; it didn't seem time efficient.
I would like to know what would maybe speed this process up, I'm thinking a BOX BLADE since the other posts of this implement seem to fit that jobs description, however, I have 95 hours of seat time in my life, so I'm still a newbie when it comes to this. So if you wouldn't mind letting me know what would help out, it would be appreciated. I will attach a few pics to help out with what I'm dealing with. Oh, and total area to smooth out is about 1.5 acres.
