Good to hear you worked it out - but just a comment though on your tractor use/needs. For what you are doing IMO, you would be better off with a true TLB like the
L47,
M59 machines. Ya, they are more $$ but are built to take clearing and digging all day long - but no standard cab like you have now.
Also, take advantage of the "free excavator" rental to dig your cabin foundation and place rocks in the spring! Nothing like a mini ex to do that along with your tractor to provide materials you can get a lot of work done.
