Excavating for Pole Barn

As soon as my building permit is approved I will be adding a 12x32 runout shelter to an existing barn. I was told to dig down 12"-18" and put stone, gravel, and stonedust, in that order. I know an excavator can do the work in a matter of hours. I have a Kubota 7510 and LA 302 loader. Any thoughts on whether or not I can do this myself? I don't mind taking longer to save money, but if it's going to take days rather than hours it might not be worth it. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Excavating for Pole Barn

Spent the day using a friends 2910 with backhoe. I had lots of fun and moved a huge amount of dirt (my 7510 was great as the designated pile mover). Hopefully I can clean up the mess I made tomorrow. Tomorrow will also be a test of sorts as I try and dig for 4 piers. If I can't do it, my trusty manual post hole digger is at the site.

I still might need to hire an excavator to make sure the job is done right; but I have had fun trying so far!
