ᐅ Leveling a Plot of Land with an Excavator

We want to level our plot of land (840m² (9,042 sq ft), square in shape) ourselves, as it has only a slight slope (height difference about 2m (6.5 ft) over 30m (98 ft) length). The question is, which excavator would be suitable for this task (size, weight, bucket capacity)? After all, we want to complete it as quickly and efficiently as possible. And which excavator are we allowed to operate as "non-professionals"? Thank you for your answers!

Hello, usually a medium-sized wheel loader with a 1.0m³ to 1.2m³ (35 to 42 cubic feet) bucket is sufficient for this. Are you planning to lower the soil on one side and pile it up on the other? Or do you want to place fill and topsoil? As long as you are working on your own property, you don’t need a driver’s license. Only if you pick it up yourself and use it on public roads. Usually, construction equipment rental companies also offer delivery for the wheel loaders.
