I have about 1/4 acre of land to take care of. 2/3 is mowable green
stuff, 1/3 is rocks. Rather than give $4500 to a landscaper to remove
the rocks and plant grass I figured I could buy a machine and DIY it and
come out with something nicer.
I need to rake the rocks out of the subsoil that was replaced when I had
the sewer pipe put in. This is New England so there are a lot of rocks
but none bigger than my head.
I need to spread topsoil or manure over that area.
I need to dig a few 8" x 48" holes for deck expansion footings.
I need to mow the grass.
Is there a machine that will do all this? I can find a riding mower, or
a big PTO tractor, but it seems I need something in the middle. Riding
mower with rake and then just rent the hole auger? Does such a machine
exist?
thanks,
jim
