A dozer will pack the devil out of it. I have had a dozer for more than 40 years and have leveled several building sites for several people and when I have the site level and have driven over it with my dozer many times, you won't get the ground any more packed. JoeR is right....a dozer will do an excellent job.
I respectfully disagree. I used to work on a road building crew and when ever there was fill that had to be compaction tested we had to pack with a sheeps foot, or better yet, a loaded scraper. The dozer just can't pack very well with the low PSI you have on tracks. When we would build terraces with a dozer the farmer would go out and deep rip behind us, when we used a scraper they would drop the ripper in the ground and kill the tractor. I have a scraper now for my own farm use and don't like to use it sometimes because of the compaction. |
