The closest I can get a gravel load dumped is 200 ft from the pond. All the rest is hand & back work.
Maybe rent a tractor with a front end loader.
I agree with Theo about the tractor.
I can get a 32hp JD or Kubota with FEL (and trailer) for $200/day in my area - including the taxes and damages waiver.
If you do a Friday afternoon rental, then you can have the equipment until first thing Monday morning for a 1-day fee. (If you don't go over 8 hours on the meter.)
I love that deal on jobs where I work the equipment for a stretch, then work by hand, then back to equipment.
