Building a new road pics

I know we all like pics of our tractors in action.

We are working on a new 40x64 18ft high pole barn at my parents house. Here are some pics of the driveway construction...

Nice, clean cuts with the work. Must have tilled everything before move'n earth to grade.

great looking work!


thanks for sharing the photos.....

i like the geo fabric, what do you think of it? for my run it'll cost me about an extra 1500 but i'm guess that it'll be well worth it.....

I won't put in a driveway without the fabric. Well worth the investment.

Thanks for the pictures. So you just tilled the sod right under. Did the tiller cut a nice straight line? Never used a three point tiller. Then scooped it up?

Great looking drive. Which geofabric did you use.

We tilled down about 6 inches for most of the length and down to about 14 inches where we had to cross a drainage ditch to install 3 inch rock

We used a box scraper to remove all the dirt from the area and it will be used as topsoil around the new building

What, all that tower on the house and no Mosley log periodic? No 2m antenna on the tractor for APRS?
