Hi Chris in the eighties and nineties on a large cut fill building sites we would use a 633 self loading scraper and a 815 compactor or 2 /627 pushpull scrapers with a 815 or 2/ 637 pushpulls with 825 compactor we found these combinations work well to achieve good compaction in clays like what you are doing here 0n my last project we used a 44 tonne excavator loading 10 trucks and dogs on a 1hr turn around 10 hours a day for 8 weeks the bucket had 6 inch teeth but work to tolerance of 3/4 of an inch using satellite technology things are changing all the time from the old bugger in Australia
