    You might want to put rails over the pipe to keep the cows from possibly falling off the crossing...also the stone you are using isn't there a possiblity that they can get stuck in the cows hooves...Just a thought

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer

      @StoneyRidgeFarmer well Josh, I think it's absolutely brilliant! Most of us are uncomfortable with change so I get why some are reticent to embrace the electric option in vehicles.(I still drive a gasser, for range and hauling. ) It's coming though.... and though it's very different..... it's most likely the responsible choice for the planet.
      In the end it will be our children, and our children's children who decide.

    This was a great project, and I learned a lot about sequencing, adding gravel as you went to be able to compact based on all your trips. I also realize I’m way behind on what vehicles you have these days. Was not tracking on this new dump truck. Last one I knew about was, the Home Depot delivery truck that you used at the sawmill. I personally would enjoy a video
    (S) on an update of your support vehicles, and your tentative vehicle projects for the future.

    Something to think about…
    Do you think it's a good idea, to stabilize both sides of the culvert with large rock. So you don't have a lot of erosion in the creek bed ?
    Because I have seen a lot other people do that.
    I think it is a good idea, but I'm not an expert.

    Josh, when you are working the bucket trying to get all of the dirt out, that is putting a lot of stress on the bushings. I am sure you do but it is a must that you keep plenty of grease in those joints and keep a good eye on the bushing wear. I have seen so many non operators in the past too lazy to grease a machine and when it comes to replacing bushings, the they don't fit anymore causing a lot of work welding or filling in the wear so the new bushings will fit.
