Hey guys. I’m looking to remove what once might have been a lawn for a customer and then prepping the area with dirt for a future lawn. 2+ acres. The lawn is mostly weeds and grasses on top of sandy soil in south Texas.
I’m curious on what implement you think might work best. I have a loader bucket, root grapple, rake, and box blade for implements related to this. I would imagine the rake and grapple would be a good combo for pulling everything out and then boxblading to finish but what are your thoughts on using a rock bucket? I’ve been eyeing one for awhile and thought this might be a good opportunity to buy it. I don’t have experience with one but my thought would be digging and shaking out the sand making it easier to remove the green debris instead of pulling it across the entire field.
Also, should the sandy soil be a concern for a compact tractor on industrial tires? I’d be around 3,200 lbs loaded.
