Hopefully excavating will fix that unless there is ledge there. Then the line will be on top.

I don't think there will be much issue. The rest of the yard is fine, it's just this spot that they left to have access to the back yard and I just want to cut it down a few feet so it's not so steep.

I don't have any good pics now but the hill is about 12ft higher than the lower yard and it drops down in the distance of about 10ft. It's just steep enough to be a little uncomfortable especially when riding a tractor up it. When I go up it in my truck I just aim it where I want to go and hope for the best cause you can't see anything but sky once you start up it.

OMG!! Yeah. I can see where that might feel a tad uncomfortable.

Whoa! That is a lot of height in a short distance. What if you brought in some fill and extended a nice slow slope to the back yard which would be easier going up and down?

Otherwise get the kids some dirt bikes and start training motocross

I had thought about adding dirt to the bottom to extend it out but I would like to eventually build a shop back there and I don't want to extend the bottom of the ramp any further than it already is. Cutting back the top will yeild the same results as extending the bottom and I have another project that's going to require the dirt from this hill.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
