Thanks guys, you're giving me some motivation which is badly needed. I've been at it for over three years excavating about five acres total. One Cat 235B excavator, John Deere 750 dozer and a DJB 35C six wheel dump. It's simple, excavate the sand, allow to dry 2-3 days, load it in the truck, dump it at the end of the road. Doze it out and make more roads. All by myself. Every spare minute week nights and weekends. Use vacation to get more done. What a great time! Eastland, you are right, the dozer is the hardest to operate but also the most fun. Practice makes perfect.
