Using a dozer is good advice. Even with the tractors that me and brother in law have (NH2310, my Kubota B26 and my LS P7010) it is still advantageous for us to hire a dozer to do dirt leveling and ditching. It comes out cheaper in the long run and no damage to our tractors. We have a lot of hidden rocks here and even a D5 dozer sometimes stalls when they hit the large ones. I have broken a good share of box blade scarifiers on large rocks prior to just hiring a dozer for larger moving projects. I still use the box blade to level small plots when needed.
My back hoe has been indispensable for digging up rocks, putting in water lines, digging holes to plant trees etc. I had a pretty large disposable income when I bought it so it was a new toy, but after purchasing, it is now my go to tractor for most work. I would much rather have a smaller tractor with a backhoe than a larger size with only an FEL.
