As the other Gerald said, you really can't spread 5 dumploads or 80 tons of rock with a small tractor within a reasonable time. Dirt scoops are too small, maybe a third of a yard or less. Box blades can move more if you've got a big enough tractor to pull a big enough blade. Still, you'd probably spend more on fuel than getting someone to spread it for you. Otherwise, it could take you a week using say, a 5 ft blade. I wore out the motor on my little 340 International moving rock and dirt around in what would have taken a dozer or a scraper about an hour to do. The re-grading can be done pretty easily and regularly with a blade though. My experience, anyway. Good Luck!
