Aloha from the Big Island

Aloha. Greet­ings from the Big Island. I’m stay­ing at a vaca­tion rental place in Hawai­ian Par­adise Park until I can move onto our land, hope­fully in a week or two. It’s sim­ple but nice. In the week I’ve been here, I bought a truck that is just what I wanted, a ’98 Mazda B4000 4X4 that has high mileage, but is in good con­di­tion. I cleared a good sized clear­ing on the land using hand tools and just bought a chain saw for the heav­ier stuff. The lava is fairly soft and I can do some lev­el­ing by hand. I’m won­der­ing if I might be bet­ter off get­ting a smaller dozer to do the lev­el­ing rather than the D9 which many rec­om­mend. I have a small lot and want to pre­serve as much of the nat­ural envi­ron­ment as possible.
