Last summer the pipeline company tore up over a 1/4 acre of my property. Their restoration was not to my satisfaction so I was able to negotiate a cash settlement and I will finish the work. The site is a very slight slope with a broad drainage swale and some other slightly rolling areas.
I am looking at the local rental yard and they have a soil pulverizer to rent for $40 a day. It is set up for Cat 2 so I would have to adapt it to my Cat 1 BX. I have turf tires on my BX and I look at the mass and spikes up front and wonder if I will be able to pull it. Most of the ground I will be working had the top soil removed or was disked up during the pipeline restoration effort. Very little sod will be encountered.
I am looking at bringing in one or two loads of topsoil and will be primarily adding dirt and removing or shifting very little. Still pondering whether to hydro seed (.16 per square foot) or just broadcast.
Would appreciate input. Primarily, do you think my BX will be able to pull the pulverizer. Sorry, I don't have the weight on it. In a pinch they do rent a tractor for $200 a day.
