 Any Advice

Guys, I reached out a few days ago about a counter weight issue and got some great advice. I decided to buy a Box Scraper when I get home, but any advice on which manufacturer? Size fo my JD 4400? Also from what I read I should get a hydraulic top cyliner. How does that plug into the current hydraulics?
I will be having a pole barn put up in a few months and need to get the site ready. I have been reading back through a lot of old posts, but still have a question. My site has about a 3' down grade to it. I will be putting up a 30'x50' building from the National Barn Company. Can I pull the dirt from the high side to the low side to even it out? I will be using the topsiol and dont know if that is a good idea. Any advice would be most welcome.

Guys, thanks for the input. I would have used the top soil not knowing any better. I do have plenty of area to pull fill from and will try to get the area built up. I plan on leaving it with a gravel floor, maybe pouring a smaller slab in the future to put in a smaller framed shop insde the building. Grinder, "Course stone"? When I ordered gravel once I was asked if I wanted something called "surge". Would that be the same thing?

Thanks
Randy

grinder, I sent a buddy an e-mail asking him what exactly surge was. He said that its a mix of anywhere between 6" gravel to dust. I sounded like all the junk the quary has on hand, but when I get home I'll call them direct. I will ask around when I get back as to what the neighbors did, but this site is a great source of info.

denwood, hardwood recommended the Landpride 2572 I think was the model #. I will pick up a 6' when I get home. Before I found this site I bought a 5' rake not knowing any better. Wish I could have posted that question before I bought one. Thie is a great source of info. Thanks
