I have a box blade with scarifiers. That should help.

See my earlier post. My Infiltrator system was only 12 years old, used seasonally, and was almost completely filled with sand.

My friend's backhoe bucket is small. Maybe 12". Will take a week of Sunday's to do that way not to mention that I don't think it will reach to the middle of the bed. Was thinking I need a conveyor belt.

Something like this. I do have a friend with a small backhoe, but I think this will be painstakingly slow. I would love to see a video on YouTube on how professionals do this but septic beds don't seem to be very popular.

That's what I'm replacing. I would never recommend that junk to my worst enemy. Mine are only 12 years old, only used seasonally, and are almost entirely filled with sand. In order to do chambers so they won't fail, I would recommend stainless steel chicken wire underneath to prevent...

Given that I'm digging a bed and not a trench I tend to agree. My sandy dirt is easy digging. Only difficulty is keeping things level with a FEL. Once the tractor is tilted, so is the loader.

My biggest concerns are how long the ramp will need to be, and how to at least get a half baked level grade for the bed. I do have a laser transit but am not sure how to make use of it with a FEL. I guess with depth stakes. At the end there will be some hand leveling for sure. Could also...

I wouldn't call it sugar sand. I would think if we keep it moist traction with 4WD should not be a problem. My rears are loaded and I can put an implement on the back for extra ballast.

Depth would be around 24".

There is not rock. Only sand.

I do have a laser transit. Inspector is only going to see the perforated pipe laterals in bed of gravel before backfilling. He won't see how it was dug. It is pure sand. Not like the bottom of the bed won't absorb water after I am done.

Hello, I am faced with digging a rectangular septic bed with size of 14' x 40'. Inspector requires open bed as opposed to trenches. All I have is a Kubota 2650 with FEL. Not sure a backhoe (at least ones without a lot of size) would be of much help anyway with a bed. I do have a box blade...

Posted this in the Massey forum as well but maybe this is the place. Well I inherited an old early 70's MF12 lawn and garden tractor. I was given the tractor for free. I really wanted this tractor for doing some serious food plotting for deer as it has the 38" 650 rear tiller. This thing...

Well I inherited an old early 70's MF12 lawn and garden tractor. I was given the tractor for free. I really wanted this tractor for doing some serious food plotting for deer as it has the 38" 650 rear tiller. This thing could do some serious damage to the ground. Anyway the state of the...

I have the chance to get an old MF12 tractor for free. It is in pretty good shape but hasn't been run for years. The fuel tank and carb are probably all gummed up and it needs a new hydrostatic pump I think. Does anyone know where I can buy parts for this? How much will a hydro pump...
