We are digging a pond in the corner of our corn field, and as a result, we constantly have 6 ft high piles of dirt around the edges that needs to be moved. We have been spreading the dirt around the wetter parts of the field, in hopes of raising the ground, and drying things out.
My question is, whats the fastest way to do this? because using the front bucket of the backhoe, 1 scoop at a time takes FOREVER. Because sometimes you have to drive 1000 ft to dump the dirt where you want to. Would a bulldozer be the trick? Or would it be better to use a dump truck? I'm worried the truck might get stuck if its too wet. I cant tell if we need a big front end loader, or a bulldozer.
