Have a 5075m with FEL, and have to level a 60X40 foot area for a steel building. Need to move about 150 cu yards of dirt. Is this a doable project with the 5075m or should I rent something bigger vs hiring it out?

I recently purchased a new 5075m and an mx-7 mower. When I got the mower hooked up to the tractor the hitch would not lift the back tire of the mower off the ground. The guy that delivered the mower said that didn't look right. He wanted to check if the mower had been assembled correctly and...

I have about 160 acres, need a tractor for shredding, discing, loader work to fill in washouts/bale moving etc, snow removal, pto work. Was looking at the 5065m and then realized for 3k less I could get the 5083e (both with cab and loader). I think the 5065 will have enough HP, but it seems...
