I bought a JD 350 3 years ago never been on one! I wanted a crawler machine because of getting wheeled machines stuck in mud. The farmer I bought it from put it on my trailer. Took it home crawled it off & promptly cut a snowmobile trail through the woods. 3-4 hours of seat time. It's very easy to cut too deep forward, raise the blade, drop the blade & set up rolling whoop de doos. So watch for that. Back dragging with the blade is easier for inexperienced but takes more time. Dump truck operators can drop the rock & gravel in 6-8" lifts pretty smoothly. Be sure to compact after each lift. Sharp turns on dozers kick up sharp berms quick - planning moves ahead mitigates these clean up areas. Use a tractor with a box blade or landscape rake to set the final surface & then compact.

Have fun
