    Yup, I've tried every angle, scraping, pushing, cutting at an angle and the machine is just too small and the clay is too packed. Sounds like a bigger machine is needed.

    Clay sucks.

    A bigger machine will make it easier. If ours wasn't in WY right now, I'd offer to come see if it was enough machine. But it's busy backfilling tower foundations in BFE WY.

    LOL, thanks and no problem. I can rent one from Chatfield Time Rentals. It'll probably take me longer to fill out the paperwork and transport it than it will to grade that stretch.

    Made some progress this weekend. Unfortunately my little skid steer died on me last night with about 13 yards of dirt left to move. Otherwise I'd be done and ready for weed matting.

    Our yard was clay. I had a guy come and he knocked it out with his bobcat for $100. Yours is looking good. Click image for larger version.  Name: 11156294_1568789786714008_6802514288356743698_n.jpg  Views: 63  Size: 122.5 KB  ID: 75154

    Looks like I'll need another 4-6 tons of rock and I should be done.
