I’m sorry I will definitely get a better camera angle next time I thought I had it at a good angle but didn’t work out will get better angle and pst another video
We get a fair amount of rain my maintenance windrow is generally light and soft and the water washes right through it and even if it does hold back a little water in my opinion the benefits of having it outweigh the bad thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
Yes you said you are getting 69 feet per load. How many ton is on a load. Where I live we Gravel with tri-axle trucks and tailgate our trucks haul about 22 tons per load so I’m trying to figure out how much gravel you’re putting down per mile.
Thank You for making the video !! Keep up the the Good Work !! Enjoy watching and learning , How do You deal with potholes ? Do Ya cut them out to the bottom or what . Any and all advice is much appreciated !! Thank Ya Sir !!
Your welcome glad your learning from my videos and when it comes to pot holes or washboards you have to cut them all the way out and relay them I will do a video for you on how I do it.
I wish we got to put that kind of tonnage on our roads. The most we put on is 600 tons/mile and that’s on our heavy traveled roads. How many miles do you resurface a year?
In my experience if you don’t want a windrow you have to cut the whole road get a decent size windrow then relaying it on the road is about only way to do it takes twice the time as regular blading with one but if they don’t want a windrow that’s what you got to do.
Hmmm ok. We're building new roads from subgrade and yeah they don't want windrows at all. But I've got a vibration steel drum roller as well so can just use that to roll them out as we roll the road.
@@damonfacoory3108 if you have a good source of compaction and a water truck then it’s pretty easy to not have a maintenance windrow I don’t always have a packer and definitely don’t have access to a water truck I’d recommend getting your new material equalized out then lay down a little at a time compacting it each lift and build your crown in sounds like you got all the support tools to be able to do that if ya have any questions ask away.
@@graderman140m yeah mate, got a water truck and generally have a roller following along behind the grader as it goes and then once at height give it a couple more construction passes to really compact it. They are access roads for cranes so only run at 1% crown which makes water shed interesting but it's what the crane ops want so its what they get. Thanks for the help my friend. 👍
Thanks a bunch for the videos. I'm learning on the fly maintaining township roads.
Your welcome happy to hear that if you have any questions or would like me to do a video on how to do something let me know
Wish i could see the blade a little better , dont mean to complain .im still learning !!

When you leave the maintenance windrow on the right does it drain when it rains ? Or do you guys just don't get alot of rain ?

We put down 3 inches of gravel that’s right around 1,900 tons a mile hope that helps thanks for the question and thanks for watching
I live 15 minutes away from where they make those packers. Know the guys that make them well.
That’s pretty cool there a very good tool to have they really improved my roads now that I have one to use.

I wish we got to put that kind of tonnage on our roads. The most we put on is 600 tons/mile and that’s on our heavy traveled roads. How many miles do you resurface a year?
I can believe that and yeah 600 tons isn’t much at all and we resurface 3 miles a year and we also do some spot graveling.
So what if you don't want to leave a maintenance windrow? What do you do then?
In my experience if you don’t want a windrow you have to cut the whole road get a decent size windrow then relaying it on the road is about only way to do it takes twice the time as regular blading with one but if they don’t want a windrow that’s what you got to do.

How many yards or tons on this Video are you doing per mile ?
We’re at 1900 tons a mile putting down 3 inches of gravel.
👌
Good job as usually, when you are laying for Calcium, can you show the process? ( from Canada )
I can definitely do that
Do you have a plasticity index for the gravel?
We do our minimum pi is 4 we try to get a pi of 6or 7 though this gravel I’m getting now is around 6 very good material.
@@graderman140m That’s really good, the road base that you guys useis it blended or is it just a pit run?
@@michaelalan1546 it’s all crushed gravel if we used pit run we would have huge boulders so everything has to be processed and run through a crusher
