West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge | How far can you move dirt with each method efficiently? Have some project that will involve moving subsoil from 100 up to over 500 feet. Currently have track hoe and truck, looking to get either a big dozer cat or a big scraper to pull with a 4WD tractor. How far can I push dirt with a Cat before I am better off loading it in a scraper, and how far with a scraper before I'm better off loading it in the truck?
Edit to add, this is all heavy sticky clay. And I already have a 12 foot 6 way blade on a tractor for spreading/ levelling, but it's not enough tractor to move compacted dirt.

Moving dirt with Dozer vs. scraper vs. truck, distances and efficiency?
