Moving Dirt

We got a couple of free dump truck loads of dirt today. The county is digging ditches and needs to get rid of the dirt. It certainly isn't topsoil grade, but I can use it to fill in low spots. I'll get rid of the sticks, rocks, and trash in it later.
Unfortunately, they dumped it several yards from where I wanted it. It is going to take me a full day just to move it to where I want it.

Once I get it where I want it, I just need to spread it.


My tractor is small. The bucket holds 5.3 cubic feet. A bigger machine would come in handy for this job, but it would be harder on the lawn when mowing.
I'll be working on this for a while.

Greg, you probably had them dump it far away on purpose. You loved every minute of it!
