Moving Dirt

[RedDog]

First of all, Merry Christmas to all!!

I am clearing an area for my pole barn. This is on top of a hill that I am cutting down and moving all that dirt to the front side of the house where there is a steep hill.

I had some good pictures of the trees that I uprooted, but the disc had a failure.

In this picture you can see a portion of the pile of dirt that I have built up, plus you can somewhat see my stainless steel exhaust pipe .

I wanted my friend to come out with his dozer, but you know how friends are when you want something.

The hill in the front is scarey to try and mow sideways. A little to much lean for me. If I get all this dirt to it, it will be very manageable.

Nice Pipe Does it have a rain flapper?

Watch out the Safety Police are everywhere. (Folded ROPS)

TT,

No rain flap, ( I do not like them).

90% of the time, I have my ROPS down. To tall for tree branches, and more important, I think I would forget to take it down to put it in the garage. That is the reason I took the factory exhaust pipe off,, { to tall}. The stainless steel one looks much better!! /w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif. I think it even added 5HP,, /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif.

Well I'm impressed, those are some big buckets of dirt. You seem to be handling them with no problem. And with no extra weight hanging off th rear. That DK65 really has some grunt to it.

Kodiak,

I am amazed at what this tractor will do!! I think a lot of it has to do with its weight. I am guessing the tractor weighs around 8500lbs, rear tires are loaded.

After talking to others about the night and day difference with a tooth bar on the bucket,, I ordered one. Although I have never had a problem of tearing up the soil with my (normal) bucket.

I have most of the dirt pile up front now, but have not taken any pictures. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

I need a lot more /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
