I've done similar and found it rewarding... one rule is stop for the day when you feel fatigued if working on a slope... doesn't take much to find yourself in an awkward situation.
I did use my backhoe a lot to get a lever spot to work from.... over the years I made it wider.
Later I started using a Dozer and the 6 way blade starting from the top and blazing down sure made quick work...
If you don't get too carried away... nature will show you what needs attention... I use dips with some strategically placed fallen trees to control water...
Spent about 4 hours on Sunday at the ranch blading the trails with my brother's JD350 dozer...
