I've bought some land in central NM which I will be grading, and leveling for a home site. So far, the only grading I've done has been on relatively level ground. This job will be on the side of a hill with about a 8-10 deg slope. As is common, I need to scarf out a section for a level building pad.
My tools right now are; My JD 2010 with a four tine kind of trencher tool on the 3 point, a 6' scraper, a front loader, and an older motor grader with a 12' moldboard and scarifier. Would like to do this job without buying too much more in the way of tools, although it looks like I'll need a landscape rake.
The ground is mixed sedimentary, with some rocky outcrops. I've found a section where I can likely scrape away.
If you have advice on how to attack this, and what works best in the mixed sedimentary layer let me know. I don't want to tip over the grader on myself, and if I have to hire out a dozer, I"m looking at a lot of money I don't want to spend to level the ground.
