Your comment "Maybe Mr 'Green' needed to arrive before I proceeded?...." leads me to think you possibley had a little reprimand for not contacting the enviro's sooner?

The correct machine for the next step is an excavator. If you help now with your equipment it will cost you more, and it will make it harder for the excavator. When he is done and the ground is dry, then it will be a fun tractor project. Patience is a scarce virtue.
