First let me say hello and I am happy to have found these forums.

I recently purchased about 11 acres of land and am about to embark on taking a 3 acre horse pasture and converting it into a fun ATV track for the family.

I have so many questions on the process, where I get the dirt, preparation and even what ATVs to start out with for a 40 year old and his two sons of 14 and 15.

But I will start by asking for some general advice on where to start, good resources, etc. Can I make a good sized track with 3 acres?

Thanks again...

3 acres is about 120,000 square feet or 600x200, 400x300, or variations like that. You should be able to make some kind of track with that kind of room. I'd go the longer route like the 600x200 and use a cut and fill for materials. Scoop some out and make low pits and jumps, that type of thing.
