Backhoe Making rocky terrain into a road, looking for thoughts on ways to do it better, etc.

Ok here's a thought though - why dont you just get some gravel brought in and laid on top of the rocky ground? you could still do a light pass like you've been doing (looks pretty good to me) but then cover it with 3-6" of gravel and you'd never have to worry about what's underneath it. WOuld cost some money, but you'd have a nice looking, smooth driving layer and be done with your road much, much faster.

Agree with this. PS you are killing that little tractor. Not worth wearing it out, Hire out or rent a track steer.

I can't really add any additional sage advice here but my gut says paying a few grand to have the road at least rough cut by someone with a dozer and then cleaning it up a bit with the Kubota seems like the logicial long term play. A few grand now is better than beating the heck out of a $20K tractor.

Sorry, can't help as I barely have any rocks in my sandy Michigan soil.

Just wanted to compliment you for the most unique misspelling of your tractor brand that I've seen, lol. Kabuta.... kind of like it.

Second tree chipper came to my property yesterday. Out of 3 acres in question 20% is rocky.

They will not go near the rocks and urge me to hire a bulldozer. I致e been told that a number of times.

I知 just clearing brush so, DIY.

If you can find a bulldozer guy for $75 /hour, please send him to me!

As far as spelling KA BOAT TA.....
