Unfortunately, I don't have the money for that kind of machine, and if I did, my wife would spend it elsewhere on one of the many projects that need done. 1k was my budget to get a machine that can move and grade dirt, my other option was leaving my back yard a horrific mess. It's old, but it runs well enough to get the job done.
The dirt is high, but it's rather far forward as well, which keeps the risk for flipping backward relatively low, and the machine's flipped tires give it a 7' wide stance. I am on level ground so side roll is relatively low risk as well. It's due to the misplaced mount on the loader bucket, or the dump cylinder was replaced with one to long at one point. I'm working on finding a weld shop to put another pivot point for the front cylinder so it can curl back further, right now it's strait forward at best.
I started with just shy of 90 yards of dirt, and it's gotten all but that last bit moved at this point.
The initial point of the video was to try and figure out why the hydraulics slow down to nearly a stop when it warms up, but didn't quite make it that far before it broke.
