Can you do it? Sure.
Will it take a fair bit of seat time? Definitely

Can My Compact dig this out? (or is it time to rent a skid steer)

With the size and HP of tractor that you have, I dont think it practical to try to dig that much with it. You just dont have the weight and HP needed to move dirt or drag it with the box blade. For that much dirt, I would contract someone with a dozer to come in and cut it down, slope the cut and get it done quickly before the winter freeze sets in. When the ground freezes, you will be out of luck till next spring as even the largest equipment wont dig in frozen soil.

I used my Bobcat CT230 to make some drainage swails in the back 7 acres. I ran back and forth for a few days loading up the bucket and then filling the box blade. Double the dirt in the same run. I used the dirt to make a bullet burm and the drainage is improved drastically. I think its not "if" your tractor can but "how long".
