Wow, what a great bunch of replys. I feel bad not getting back to you all in so long. I only received one e-mail response indicating that someone did reply. I figured I could do it all in one day and priced it that way. I have yet to hear a response yet so hopefully I will find out in the next couple days if I get the job.
The Burms are landscaped islands that are elevated to provide a type of visual barrier for the home owner. I am making my own "burm" at home for my shootin range! My burm is much more practicle in my opinion, but it is on the back burners while I can make money doing work for other folks.
I am in a job right now where I will move about 14 ton of stone through narrow gates into a congested back yard. Much of it will have to be wheel barrowed once in the yard, but the tractor has been invaluable thus far. I have removed a couple ton of material and placed about 7 ton of stone so far.
I have thought about a big dump trailer to fill and go back and dump. I could then manipulate the pile, but wonder if the small tractor will be able to reposition the dirt as well once dumped as it would if placed more carefully load by load. I would also have to get a CDL to tote a trailer of any consequence so I will likely just use my little beast.
I expect turf damage whether dry or wet. We have been dry of late, and there will have to be damaged crowns with that much weight and that many trips.
I would love to have a bigger tractor on this job, but there are so many jobs I have completed so far that only my small tractor could be used. The job I am presently in, would have really been hard with anything bigger.
Thanks again for all the great responses fellas!
