i dono, all my jumps are built with a tractor... but my dad is a halla good driver, all we do is scrape the dirt off the ground less than an inch per scrape and after about 20 feet, you have a full bucket... i found it way faster than digging or filling with rocks.

once the dirt was piled i just moved it around with a shovel and shaped them and they are turing out great

one thing you should know is dry dirt dosent stack well with realy dry dirt, it kind of just starts spereding out after its piled around 4-5 feet tall, that was the main problem i found when using maceanery
would it stack if i gradually spray it in layers then piling on top

it could, i havent realy tried it... just when it started raining more, i built more so the jumps piled better

experience with a shovel and dirt would lead me to say yes. moist dirt right after rain is easiest to build with, so try to soak the dirt then dig it the morning after.
