Thanks for sharing! It would help if the people y’all are working for would put some fabric down. It is unbelievable how much it helps. Saves a lot or gravel. Have a good week
Fabric wont help when the clay is pumping like that. All you can do is dig it out and fill it with rip rap ,then #4's and then crush n run . Then when it rains again ,add to it . But that's not cost effective or gonna happen ,so just hookem n drag em lol. We've had jobs where we had to drag trucks in And out !
I lived in a cabin off a section line in the nineties and every spring for the eight years I lived there I had to haul in 2 loads of rock with my one ton truck for the two sink holes. They were bottomless. By fall freeze up there were axle deep ruts.
Just an idea, in a case like this where you have a mud problem on your temporary roads, couldn't you use wood chips as a filler that can be generated from some of the same trees you're cutting down?
That reminds me of a place I worked back years ago.There was a crust about a foot deep that was stiff enough to hold a truck or tractor up,but you could see like a ripple in it moving ahead of the truck.It was just enough to drive on,but if you ever slipped a tire or managed to break through you were going down like the Titanic.
you ever think about buying crushed concrete from the plant demo? its pretty local and if you can work out a deal it might be worth piling some at the shop for future use also i like this intro its short catchy, to the point and gets your name out
cotontop3 --- Instead of road fabric we've used weedblock fabric from Lowes or HomeDepot. Also we often use Tyvek house wrap to keep the stone from sinking, it works.
Is this a temporary road till the job is done? It is funny some would think you don't know how to build a road. You have been doing this long enough in your area to know how to build a road.
cant believe that triaxle driver allowed you to chain his truck loaded like that and drag it to the dump spot. Obviously not the owner of the truck. I wouldve dropped that load right where it started getting soft and been on my wayThe frames and EVERYTHING connected to it werent designed to withstand the punishment of doing what these guys did with 23 tons of payload on the back. Break things realy quick and torque the frame
It takes many skills to give us products we take for granted. Thank you!!
Look at you Tim multitasking..LOL Have a great day Tim..
Love them big ole Deere dozers , a pleasure to operate .Thanks Tim .
Great video Tim thanks for sharing have a great day

Gotta work with what you got and can afford and when someone else is paying for it, that’s all you can do.

swampratt36 finally someone knows how its done

Great video Tim. Looks good. I know you have built plenty of roads in your time. Later
Good job on the road
Thats a good way to describe it Tim, it will tear the guts out of a truck! Stop them dead in there tracks too!
Haha "biodegradable rock". I like that imma have to use it 😂
That’s tuff to try to get a road to hold together. By the time y’all get moved out of there that’s gonna be the best road in the county. Great video
Welcome to another installment of TDK Roadbuilders hosted by Cotontop3.😆😆
🐍🐍🐍 WATCH OUT for them slithery snake in the grass!!!!😍😍😍
Need to dump a bunch of that stuff from the kior site in that hole
You might try putting fabric down first under the rock. It works wonders.
Right brake light out on the dumptruck hopefully he'll find it on the pre-trip inspection (white cab/black dump).
Good stuff enjoyed that
Pretty nice road, can you do corduroy roads in wet areas
Congrats on 50k subs..... long overdue 👍🏼
Thank you Martin

Chips will just make even more of a mess
That's one of them older 850 Deere! A good one, they don't make them like that any more👍

good morning Tim
CONGRATS ON 50K!!
Thank you!
That load will eat another load next week
you ever think about buying crushed concrete from the plant demo? its pretty local and if you can work out a deal it might be worth piling some at the shop for future use
also i like this intro its short catchy, to the point and gets your name out
It's a shame you don't know anyone sitting on a stockpile of broken concrete or similar, lol!
Can you not use some of the hardcore from KIOR?
You look like Justin Timberlake with that headset on singing at his concert!!!
U ever put down rapid lime?
Should have put fabric down first, you will lose all those spalls in the mud and have to keep fixin it
Gotta work with what u got and can afford to do. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍

Very interesting. Life as a logger !
Yup got to keep working it see ya Napa mike
Dealing with the same thing right now. Got 57 tons "3 loads" in one hole on a new creek crossing we built. Now there calling for rain. 🤦♂️
Isn’t that class A riprap?
Hey Cotontop, as a logger out in the woods, do you have any recommendation for tires for a 1 ton truck? Thx!
geared low and slow, but look at her go!
Is this a temporary road till the job is done? It is funny some would think you don't know how to build a road. You have been doing this long enough in your area to know how to build a road.
The headset mic does good the audio is clear as a button
Great video Tim how many hours does the 850 dozer have
It’s funny how certain spots just never seem to tighten up
Getting the first bands of rain from hurricane Florence here near Baltimore.. Did you get any?
We didn’t get any from it.
@@cotontop3
Good deal
You can keep working. Lol
Chris Jordan he lives in Mississippi they had perfect sky’s lol
Meanwhile in North Carolina they got 30’’ of rain in 2 days
I wounder if super singles on the trucks would help. I know here in ks driving into wheat fields they help.
JUST GET 6X6 TRUCKS DON'T NEED ANY ROADS
That looks like it will be a mess if you get any rain maybe you will be lucky
We about to conquer it now 😉
Get some concrete from the Kior site.
Good video Tim,i heard Wade say last night u werent coming to Bunyan?
That’s right, I’m not coming.
@@cotontop3 sorry to hear that man!
Then Little Rock’s really called type 3 I haul them
Nothing funny about trying to haul wood on a fresh road! Shadows are getting taller that don't help either.
