Check pawn shops in your area they may have one - most likely stolen but should be reasonably priced.

Another option which i did when i leveled an pad for my aunts pool but you can do this but it will be be much slower process but again finding your grade is just simple math

That's what I'm talking about Lunk. Operating on a shoe string even if it takes more time doing it. I'm going to pick one up for my next trip down and get a better idea. I already have 1000 foot line level set setup so between the two I can get an idea. I worked till freeze up last year and put what I thought was a foot of slope and a 4'' deep x 10 foot wide drain trough and it shed water anyway. I'm still scheming on a see through measuring board on the blade and probably the scraper too . like if I wanted to cut 6'' just drop the scraper in 6'' and drive till it's running over , dump and repeat . even just a round pvc pipe with safety reflective tape I bet would work. My first time ever doing this and having the time of my life, my second childhood.. lol

This is the most fun I've had in years , having my second childhood. I have time and patience but not a lot of money to throw at this so I'm in my comfort zone. Probably take me two more years to finish it but as long as it's fun I might even milk it out another year.
