    Our 6 wheelers have 10 tires underneath them. Iv'e been trying to figure this out since 1996. When I drove in Oklahoma for a year and a half they call them 10 wheelers. I'm usually driving something with 18 wheels under it.

    OK, I should have realised that. It would be a volume, not a surface. Sometimes my mind takes a fart. Oh well; now I am :emb:

    We used the RAP on the drive at the other house. I packed it with a walk behind compactor it was great. I thought. The wifey didn't like it because it tracked in on my boots and she would step on the little pieces with bare feet! The kubbota made easy work of it!

    That stuff is great as long as you get 100% fines...and since you are paying for it, I assume it is screened.
    I've put hundreds of tons of that stuff down over the years, but it was not screened, and let me tell you, it is a real PITA to get things graded off any kind of flat at all when there's chunks in it.
    Don't let it sit in a pile too long, it will start to meld back together. And speaking of, if you have any potholes that you just can't seem to beat, fill them with this stuff, then spray a little oil on it, compact it...bam, pothole cured. The oil just seems to help it glue itself back together...doesn't take much either...and obviously this is something you may not want to do near a waterway, or body of water...

    I could have gotten 2 different grades of the stuff but opted for the fine and there were probably less than 10 pieces like small stones. Pretty much all was really nice and fine so easy to work with.
