Spreading Stone, who else shakes it on?

[JasperFrank]

Is there any consideration that this shaking method would be hard on the hydraulics? Would this not be very hard on the seals? I'm thinking of compression shock waves in the cylinders.

You know that pic was for you, right?

Absolutely!!!! And I greatly appreciated it!!!! Makes me wonder if her back hurts holding that all day??

Yup, if the video is well produced, fun to watch and informative, hey more power to ya if you make a buck off it, whatever.

As for the next post below yours, Everything Attachments is on here all the time CLEARLY working it for customers, I don't see anybody here raising an issue about it, so...

And Messicks. Although I don't recall any of their videos running ads for various other companies during their videos? But, maybe I missed it??

I’m sure it does.

PLUS there’s the weight of the joy stick operated remote pack!

If I knew someone was taking a video I might shake it out but normally I use a bucket and blade to get it done.

The context of that post can be taken so many ways!!!

If you have more than a bucket or two to spread, nothing beats tailgating it from a dump trailer. It applies a nice thin, even layer. It is narrower than having it tailgated from a large truck so it keeps the stone more centered and maintains the crown.

When tailgating, it helps having a person watch the unloading process. Depending on how fast it is coming out, the person can signal to the driver to adjust the travel speed to get the perfect amount laid down.

Back when I wore a younger man's clothes I owned a Dump Truck. Tailgate spreading is mostly controlled by the chain setting. In driveway situations you might only allow the gate open 2" or less. Just enough so the material doesn't bridge. Nice, slow, steady travel speed. Repeat if it needs to be thicker. It's a learned talent.
