Repairing a Steep Rutted Muddy Gravel Driveway

Its that time of year when i get a bunch of calls after winter freeze and thaw when driveways turn to mush. Here is another drive where i graded out existing ruts, made for better drainage, added base stone and dense grade rock.
Used my ASV Rt40 track loader.

I am fascinated by how the driveway maintenance and repair happens. I love the process! it is to me instant satisfaction, and happens right before your eyes. I love the scraping, the grading of the ground, the skid steer usage, the gravel spreading, and ultimately how it looks when completed. I cant get enough of the content and I love this video.

Thanks Aaron! I have to find a happy medium for mounting the camera on the machine. I think in this video the camera was pointed down a little too low. Will fix it on the next one!

Saved truck drivers ass! Pulled the wire a good foot or two back. He knows what he's doing but everybody messes up once in a while. Good on you keeping him from having a bad day!

Thanks for the comment! Yes I'm glad he got stopped and didn't pull down a wire. It's tough trying to explain that to a client when something goes wrong.

Looked good as always, I’ve been wanting one of those land levelers like you built. Found one on marketplace the other day cheap, so I went and bought it down by Kentucky.

Awesome man! What brand is it?

Nice work repairing that drive! Too bad that water valve was in the way. It always seems there is a water line, cable line, telephone line or something in the way that keeps us from being able to fix it the way it needs to be done.

14 tons and 26 tons would be 40 tons lol. Great work! Looks really nice.

[@NealORussa]

Haha yes you are 100% correct! Not sure where my head was.

I just recently watched your video from a few years ago when you were helping your father in law add a lean-to on his pole barn. At the time you were using a Kubota BX25 sub compact tractor with a post hole auger. I have been looking for a post hole auger for my BX25 but haven't been able to fine one that will work properly n the sub compact tractors. Any chance you can tell me where you bought yours for the BX25. Thank you.

[@NealORussa]

Hey thanks for the question! Yes that was from everything attachments. I believe it was called the EA Landshark. EA sells lots of attachments under the landshark name which is for the subcompact tractors.

[@user-jh2cn5xw1c]

Thank you so mush for the info.

[@themintlord4744]

What hourly rate do you charge to run for that machine, and what do you find is the best kind of work for it? I'm planning on buying one of my own that's about that size in the next year or two.

Nice job!👍🏾

[@NealORussa]

Thank you! Appreciate the comment!

[@roberto.gallegos]

Could you get a bucket or attachments that pitch the level when your scraping

[@chrismoore4110]

How do you know how many tons you need?

[@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin]

Really not into the 'techno-uTube muzak. Otherwise - appreciate your videos.

[@NealORussa]

Thanks for the comment! I'll try to find something else, I'm afraid it could get boring for some just hearing gravel scrape around.
