Dave,
Thanks for the reply. How would you--or could you-- move a small hill, say a 5 - 7 foot elevation, let's say of radius 50 feet, with a compact tractor? If you wanted to strip the sod off, and level the landscape, could a boxblade alone move that much dirt or would you have to break it up with a plough, subsoiler or something else before the boxblade could move it?
I'm trying to figure out how much these little tractors can do. I have a dozer which can easily do all of this stuff but now that I've cleared off about 12 acres of trees and done the gross dirtmoving, I'm wondering if I can replace it with a (far less expensive) tractor.
