Thomas, Having never run a dozer I rented one for 8 hours. I had so much fun that I bought a used case 450. The next year I traded it towards a JD450C (70 hp). You can't beat running a small dozer. A little hand, eye and foot coordination and you are home free. I would suggest that you dig down deep enough to clear out any topsoil. Backfill with clay if you have it. then fill level with rock. If you fill above the grade you might find you have rocks being spit out of your mower. By taking out the topsoil you reduce to potential of grass and weeds from growing up through the gravel. I say go for the dozer rental, you will have a ball.
