Message: <blockquote data-quote="Geo Man" data-source="post: 127413" data-attributes="member: 23121">Hi [USER=23145]@marko13[/USER] , lots of great ideas on how to leverage (pardon the pun) your skid steer. However, the best and easiest thing to do IMO on a rocky sloping lot (We live on 15 acres on top of the first ridge line of the Appalachians in Southern central Pennsylvania (oak forest and rock) is to build up.  We have done swirls, filling out for a 30 x 40 work shop and are also trying our hand at gabion's for retaining walls seeing's how many rock we have strewn around the lot.My Avatar photo is of the wifey building a swirl. I also own a JD 410 Backhoe digging rocks and trying to dig into the hill is tough on the machines and even tougher on the patience's.  I have included some photo so you can visualize, though now doubt you get the idea.I drove around the area down in the valley till I found a guys who owned a couple of triaxles, I dropped a message in his mailbox to call if interested and struck up a deal about when he has done at job sites if he brings back a truck load of dirt I'll pay him for it. 10 - 25% the price of getting it from landscaping companies who charge like Bobcat on spare parts. Get cardboard and any composted material such as cow, horse chicken manure and mix that in as well to add bulk and nutrients. I also posted on Facebook market place free dump site for clean fill.That's the route we went, hope it gives you some thoughts and ideas.Cheers Geo.</blockquote>
