Good music.nice piece of new road. Good job

Road maintenance is a steady battle. The sun will do your road good. Nice job!

They have built roads in the muskeg for years with that same technology 😊😊 Good job

Great job! Never running out of work on the woodlot. Nice to get some air circulation to dry things out. I'd rather have to run the brush hog once a year than have to deal with mud making the trail network impassable. Actually, last year I did not even have to run the brush hog but have just started doing it this year.

Great video. Was wondering if you were gunna put the brush down first on the road. I have a little trail in my woods I use with my garden tractors, so it’s only 3 to 4 feet wide. Only about a 100’ long. I use it to dump old wood, brush, leftover stuff from cutting and splitting our firewood at the end of the trail. Trees growing on both sides, but it is sorta open to light on the northeast side. Any way, normally no trouble to see the trail. But I walked in the other day, all grown up. Trees as tall as 2 feet. And other stuff growing. If you did not know the trail was there, you couldn’t tell there was one. Thing are growing a lot here this year. Great music by the way. Thanks for the video. Have a great Sunday. An add on. While I was in my trail, I noticed a poplar tree had blown over across the trail. Which was not there two weeks ago when I walked in. So to get to my dumping spot I have to get that out of there. But when I was in and noticed the poplar tree down, jumpins the mosquitos were so bad I could of left them the sawing tools and they could of cut it up. 😂. So that job is going to wait till end of September into October.

Adding the brushes in the bottom will help stabilize the new soil on top until it all settle into something solid. Vegetation can be in your favor. I mean tall growing weeds, not brushes. I do have most of my trails covered by weeds. I do maintain it with the flail mower. This eventually becomes sod, forming a dense and solid root structure. The benefit is that even after a heavy rain, it's never muddy and will support the weight of the light machines we have for a substantial number of "passes". I like to see the backhoe in action. How long is the reach, with the extension? Thanks!

i love seeing you work i actually am trying to get going with my own little logging operation so far doing my first job it a bunch of dead spruce trees from my neighbour and he wanted me to cut them down and haul out i have a small mtz 50 tractor with a big rar grapple and i cut and haul the logs out then we will mill them up with my dad and then sell the lumberand bad part of the job is that i will get paid from the money made from selling the material but i love working and ill keep doing it as long as i can i dont want to work for someone else anymore and at20 years old i have plenty of time to work

Hi Jason: Great Job on the road. Have you ever considered logging bridge mats? I’m not sure if used ones are available locally.

You ever hear of a corduroy road? Google it or you tube it. I have a swamp between two hills. I’m going to cut small stuff and mill wood cover it with gravel, add a culvert and make a road. What I have read and saw videos it will work.

You run loaded tires on the 414? They seemed to spin a bit while pushing the little stuff around. My little mf135 with chains has loads of umph without loaded tire, but remove the chains it it is like using a lawn tractor.

Jason you are good at running equipment why dont you get a job with a logging contractor. Are those trees large enough to make any profit .Is it possible to buy truck loads of logs to make firewood till your land dries up cheers from John

Seems that materials you are using for roads would be more likely to support at maximun foot traffic appx. 16+lb/sq. inch rather than wheeled equipment, in practice I would move to rubber tracked equipment which is usually about 5.1 lb/sq. inch about a third of what human foot traffic needs for support. and about 8 tto 10 times less than wheeled machinery. Your property is beautiful and worth the effort. Ray Stormont

I think you've struck a good balance between letting light in for drying initially, and not opening it too much for long term vegetation control. Building a decent road structure will take care of most of the remaining compromise you've made.You can balance the need to use the road with the ground conditions more effectively than more production oriented operations which helps overall. I can sympathize with the mental challenge of dropping trees you've watched grow a long time.
