I have a long, stone driveway. I try to drive in a different “row” every time. If you just drive down the middle of the driveway you will have 2 very long ruts.
I hope so; otherwise I spent a lot of Money to change the color. Driveway required a Bota box blade after every decent rainstorm because there was no where for water to go until the flat straight shot at bottom
According to my sources that fabric will seriously prevent pot holes and the soup when frost goes out in spring
They used it under a road with lots of heavy truck traffic here locally when they repaved it a few years back...so far it is holding up very well compared to before...
Yes the snowblower does not effect crown if crown is in center as it requires 2 passes to open Why do say box blades are bad at rebuilding crown.
Good to hear Because I was trying to get advice on “building a driveway “. When one of the guys I asked said “you’re building a road it might be a short road but it’s going to be at Road”
That is one huge project! I hope you never have to do this again. We put ground up asphalt on ours. Not as large as yours but still quite a project and it the purse fairly hard.
A lot of people recommended the ground asphalt. And the neighbor who runs a trucking company said he could do it. The challenge I ran into is that I have a 15 foot wide swath of clay on the hills. And when they get soupy in the spring I have no way of fixing the pavement when it buckled. The fabric is supposed to cure that. I want to KNOW that before spending $$$ I have Kubota and implements SO I can fix gravel asphalt requires tools I don’t have that are pricey.
We got some rain so I set up a roller 250-300# on back of wheeler! One of neighbor kids can I drive that I’ll pay.. no boy I’ll let you do it for free
Hey Gasifier how about chirping in here on how to buy a tool , read excavator, for a year and buy it use it then sell it for 2,000 less than paid for it cause that would help a lot
FIFY...buy low sell high... Usually not too hard to do with heavy equipment if you can shop around a bit and find a good deal on an item...even easier if you can find one that is discounted due to needing a lil light repair, or maybe it just looks grubby...a little elbow grease to polish it up and some paint goes a long way with this stuff...
Unless you have a lot of work for an excavator, I would not buy one. Rent. If I had plenty of cash I would own a 4.5-6 Ton excavator. And a tractor with just loader on front. But, with three young ones going to college soon I’m going in the opposite direction with equipment. LESS money invested in it. So I went with an older tractor with removable backhoe for three point hitch work. Easier to get your money back in my opinion. If you think you are going to spend the cash and buy one, watch auctionsinternational.com and other auctions and be patient. Occasionally some nice ones come up. But be cautious. Some worn out ones out there you don’t want. I guess I didn’t help much. Did I?
