S.E. Iowa		Lots of variables to consider. If not much dirt to move then use what you got available if conditions allow. Kinda depends on cost and availibility of optional equipment.
I feel like our D7 starts getting pretty inefficient at 200 plus feet but will go 300 feet for a while to avoid moving the scraper in. The larger the Dozer, the longer the efficient push.
Scraper might be best option for you as long as you don't need another machine to assist in some way (2 motors running).
Track hoe and haul trucks and scattering machine are more for longer hauls(3 motors running).
Good luck.
