Grading with a loader

[dodge man]

I was thinking the same thing, what are you doing with the property? Glad things went well and it sounds like a great learning experience.

That's one big sandbox you have there. I wish I could have been there to help, I miss the 444 and 644 end loaders I drove at work, they are a blast to operate.

What is the project all about?

I will be building a home/shop on the property in the near future.

Thanks, I have alot of past posts with alot of pictures. I am hoping the bull dozer ( and driver ) shows up this weekend for the final grading, I have never used a bulldozer and I look forward to moving forward. I scheduled a well drilling today and Im waiting for the company to call me back to meet me on the site so we can discuss how much its gonna hurt.

Tractors, skidsteers, TLBs, CTLs, loaders, track loaders, etc. are not designed to back drag (some 4n1s are). The rear surface of a bucket does not have a wear bar/plate/blade etc. Grading, smoothing etc, should be done moving forward. What a person chooses to do may be ok for them, but it is not an accepted or necessarily good practice.

Agree in principal but on mine I welded a rear bucket wear bar on my bucket heel and that works for me.
A buddy that had a round bucket added a 3 x 3" angle to back grade.

Will this dozed have a GPS or laser machine control set up? That is what I would recommend.
