I haven't had a chance to test it. This covid-19 thing has put all my grand plans on hold! Hope you get to play with it sooner than later.

Nice work. What did you use? Rear Blade? Box blade? York rake? Just the loader?
I actually did a very similar project for my neighbor. He put in an inground pool and they wanted a crazy amount of money so he said he'd take care of it himself. Had them dump the diggings out back of his property and reused it for finish work. This is a bit of a far off picture of a small piece that started growing in last year with grass... Filled in and tapered off 12-18" of fill from fence edge out into the lawn. I used a Tiller, Box Blade and loader. It's the part with the shaggy, uncut new grass.
Thank you, EA 4’ box blade and loader. He was able to get really nice fill dirt (low trash content), for a good price.
The concern was the steepness of the hill, to it was all tapered into the lawn.
Yours (neighbor)looks good as well!

I like that idea a lot.
Thanks. A 48” King Kutter, gear drive. Got it 4 years ago or so, on sale from Blaine’s Farm and Fleet. With freight shipping to PA, it was still like $200 cheaper then I could get one locally.
Box looks good!

Finally was able to pull out my last 2 fiberglass snow marker poles, but still had to bend them a good bit and let em fly and they wiggle back and forth for a little while before I could pull them out of the ground.
Driveway is now ice free and the ground is drying up pretty good.
Installed my brush forks and scooped up about 8 loads of the branches from a winter 14" diameter fir tree snapping off about 8' in the air.
Dumped all of the branches out front near the road and burned them along with an old 24" diameter stump from that I hauled from the far side of the property.
When I dump a load of branches on the smoldering fire, they do smoke a lot without any flames, but by the time I drive to the rear of the property to get another load of branches and return to the burn pile, it's burned down and smoldering again waiting for the next load to burn.
It was about 63 degrees today, but I was also sweating in the sun like it was 103 degrees chainsawing 2 fir trees into 18" lengths.
