25% grade for engineers, 4:1 for normal people. Either way, a lot of dirt! 150 @ 20 yds = 3000 yds. About 4 tanks of fuel for the haul truck & at least 2 for the excavator.

If I am allowed to borrow a phrase from another dirt moving channel; a couple of days ago one of my knees gave out 'for no reason at all'. The merest bit of side load and a tiny twist and I have a torn ligament that took me to the local ED department which I left several hours later with a feck-off knee brace and crutches, and a lighter wallet.
