How to Use a Tractor to Clear & Excavate Land
- 1). Attach the bulldozer blade to the front of the tractor to remove any trees, brush and debris on the land. Scrape the land and push the debris into a pile.
- 2). Replace the bulldozer blade with the bucket (loader) to pick up and dump the debris into a dump truck or other disposal unit to haul away. Buckets come in various sizes to hold different capacities. Choose a bucket size that reduces the amount of loads you need to move.
- 3). Dig any small pits or trenches needed with digging teeth on the front of the bucket. Major excavation requires a backhoe attachment digging deep holes from behind the tractor and loosening earth to be scooped with the bucket.
- 4). Put the bulldozer blade back on the the front to grade and shape the land.
