Is this too big of a job for a skidsteer?

[QUOTE="Gypsybill, post: 24885, member: 2344"] I have 10 acres that I am currently in the process of building a house on. I have had a bulldozer and trac hoe working on it for a good while building the pond, constructing the house pad, etc. Now they are gone and I have a whole bunch of dirt that I have to decide what to do with. 1. The dirt we excavated out of the pond is 120'x210'x 3' high. You can see it in the pics. It is mostly clay and pond muck. There is another pile about 60'x120' x 3'. There is a pic of this pile, also. My plans are to scrape off the topsoil,stockpile it then move the pond material to that place, burm it, then replace the topsoil over it. Burms should look very good where I will be putting this material. Hauling the dirt away would just be too expensive. I also have 4 other large piles of topsoil that I need to move around the site as construction dictates. My question is should I hire bigger equipment and have this work done or should I acquire a skidsteer and do it myself? Is using a skidsteer to do this work practical? I have access to a dump truck as some of the material needs to be moved from one part of the property to another. How long does it take to load a dumptruck with a skidsteer?
