In order to prevent the seed from being washed down the hill rake from side to side across the hill, and buy some burlap to lay over the seed anyplace you see runoff. Water every day until you see the sprouts, and pray for rain. Then spread the seed and fertilizer followed by rolling every inch of the yard in order to drive the seed into the new loam. Just before you spread the seed go over every inch of the loam with a landscape rake, or even a pine straw rake. Don't spread seed or fertilizer with the loam packed and smooth. Second dump, 54' blade, then rake, then box blade - total time = 12hrs or less.Īnd here's a tip.

Besides, it's the last tractor until I take the dirt nap. It really doesn't take much time, as long as you have the right tools, and the 1023E is the right tool for me. Lot's of work and the picture of the 1023E shows me moving one small scoop with the new grapple. After that it's into the back half of my property, removing saplings, cleaning up 100 years of crap and downed trees. Now it's on to the top of the hill next to the house where my lab lives, and then pulling down a hill and trees to the left of the house. Those truck loads were spread using the X738 and the 54' blade in about 12 hours time. After the tilling there was enough loam brought in to cover 1/2 acre with a 12' deep layer. In the picture above showing the X580 I'm pulling the JD 30' mechanical tiller, which by the way is a great tiller. I would bet the OP is going to spread the fill over the entire yard, just as I have done. i assume mowing.obviously the 1025r would be more than adequate

I like a previous post that mentioned a used full size backhoe as a good fix for everything but final grading and that would need a boxblade or similar setupĪs far as the 1/3 acre. obviously it depends on the type of dirt and depth. as far as the trench digging i do not know the production rates on a 1025r with a hoe on it.

If it is in fact spreading out dump truck loads of dirt a lot of the picking up and carrying of dirt could be mitigated by having the dump truck driver spread the dirt out best he can when dumping then spreading out dirt with a rear blade/box blade could be much faster also makes a difference the level of moisture in the dirt your spreading. Shop around!Ĭlick to expand.i think your the only one so far to grasp the magnitude of what 350 yards of material actually is.its ~25 large dump truck loads +/-.and 750' of trench digging.that is NOT a job for a 1025r with a loader and backhoe.unless you have a LOOONG time.

Deere had tried to sneak another grand out of my wallet, there's a chance I'd not be posting this. Kubota wanted 1.5k for insurance, where as Mr. I was close on the trigger for a BX23S TLB package myself, but Mr. Still 3 cylinder diesel with AWD and a decent little FEL on it. Their cheapest SCUT is less powerful than the 1023E, but also a good bit cheaper and smaller. Last bit of food for thought: At the risk of being banned from GTT I'd possibly lean Kubota in your case. (just something to keep in mind in evaluating the incremental cost of the BH) This can mean a decent investment in weights and mounting options (eg. Minor note: You'll need counter ballast on the rear of the tractor to do any serious FEL work. So if you invest in a decent Front loader/Mower package now, it'll serve you for a long time. Well kept, it's not unrealistic for me to expect to hand my 1025R down to my child(ren), as it's just seeing 'weekend warrior' work loads. These little diesel powered tractors live long and die hard. Renting equipment and/or paying someone else means you need to have really thought out how you want to approach your project(s) so when they show up they can go to work conversely, I like being able to 'flex' and change things up on my own time table. Conversely, there's no shame in 'just wanting the job done as easily as possible', but in that case getting a SCUT seems more trouble than it's worth. Does the prospect of driving a tractor around and doing work sound fun, or does it just sound like it's an easier way to handle this than by hand? If it's the former, I say go for it! I fully admit my machine, which I bought a month ago for work on my 1.8 acres is about 50% utility, 50% 'toy'. Sort of like a long term rental on your terms.

It might make sense to 'over buy' to the 1 series now, use it for a few seasons to see if it's what you need, and then sell it if it's over kill. That said, one thing to keep in mind OP is that these tractors don't see the massive resale value drop off that cars do.

R wound up being only a grand more, but the E would have come with a free box blade.

Click to expand.Quick note, it's possible to equip the 1023E with a BH as well I was quoted that option when I bought my 1025R.
