    i prefer an angle blade, but it wont be much good with the old n. when your dealing with the small 3 point buckets, you really need to add a couple hundred lbs, as well as small shank rippers to loosen the ground.

    I do not own a tractor but as part of my landscaping business I have rented small tractors, I used a front end loader for moving soil and a box scraper for leveling.

    backhoe is for small areas and more precise digging and placement. scraper more suitable for leveling
