[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5148931, member: 20151"] Fortunately I had help. I have a Case 650 dozer with a lazer that I improved the levees with and trimmed in as well as did cleanup on grade, I have 5 days in that. We borrowed a John Deere 750 (a true work horse) to move large volumes of dirt with that I ran for 3 days and another operator ran for 3 days. We also brought in a D6 with GPS and sat elevation controls with operator that worked for 4 days. Its amazing to see the D6 and the 750 pushing in tandem. The east end of the hole was the high end (above average) and the southwest corner had a deep low spot. We used an excavator as a loader and a dump truck to move over 400 loads from one end to the other in 4 days. In all honesty I worked 12 to 14 hours a day for two weeks but have no idea how many man hours we have in this project. I estimate we moved between 25,000 and 30,000 cubic yards of dirt. [/QUOTE]
