I knew someone would suggest bailing it with an excavator. I'm personally not experienced enough to know if that really is faster than a large dozer. I need to move the dirt an average of 150 feet. The closest dirt to the place I will pile it will be moved almost nothing while the farthest dirt will be moved 300 feet. The area is about symmetrical with half the dirt closer than 150 feet and half of it farther. I can't get anthing in there without tracks for sure. You are correct Brettski, the last time I dug I rented a dozer and an excavator. I don't remember the excavator size but it was a medium large machine with a 2 yard bucket. It was one of those shorter stick larger bucket rigs versus a long stick small bucket. It had a reach of about 30 feet. Do you guys think if I can get a similar machine that it will move it way faster than the 550 dozer even if I have to move some of it 300 feet? That would mean bailing it over about 5 times. Thanks for any input.
