bvance has the thought similar to mine: seat time is close to therapy.

I did my own dirt work for an area slighlty bigger than the area that you describe using a Case DX24E (the red version of the TZ24DA) and a 48 inch box blade. Before starting though, I had the rear hyrdraulic remote kit installed. Having control of the box blade's cutting blade pitch means all the difference as to what you are doing; cutting, or letting it skim across with the captured dirt spilling out. In the really compacted stuff, I might have made a pass or two with the scarifier teeth down. Most of the work was with the teeth up.

It took me 4-5 weeks on a very part time basis during some evenings and on the weekends. But, it got done. The kids have had a great almost level area to play thier ball sports on without the balls taking off downhill to the neighbors.

Plus, the box blade is one of the best counterweights that I can think of to quickly install when using the FEL.

There are a couple of pictures showing the box blade in my pics (1,18,19).
