Building a Road Part 2 - 1000ft Gravel Driveway

Building Gravel Roads! Easy gravel driveway with a TYM tractor. This is not the only way, but it works in our area. We have put off the building of a road to the sawmill for some time. It can't wait any longer with the spring rains coming. We have to get the gravel driveway drainage right too. If we don't get it done, we can't get back to the sawmill without getting stuck. We used the TYM T25 mostly to prep this road for gravel. We used the TYM T474 for most of the heavy lifting. A good grader blade can get some work done. @TYMTractorsUSA @Hardee mfg

If anything, showing you digging with a loader is a testament to the equipment and the operator. No harm done in showing that.

@TonysTractorAdventure 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I have a lot of new tractor operators watch the channel, and I always worry they will bend their loader trying to do what I do. Over the years, I have learned the feel, sound, and smell of a tractor.

In my area, there is mostly cinders and excellent drainage so the bar ditch on the side of the road is not needed as long has you have some crown in the road. A few miles a way there is a lot more clay so the bar ditch, crosscuts and culverts are needed.

Looks great, like you know what you are doing. I live in a very rural area and materials are hard to come by. The original owner built their road and driveway with raw talus from the base of a mountain that was likely just screened through a 4-inch grizzly. A lot of fines and a little rock. An acceptable road base, but that is how they left it for 20 years. It turns to gooey muck during the spring thaw.

@TonysTractorAdventure 2 жыл бұрын

Once I know for sure, this the road's permanent location, I will put down a good coating of rock and eventually have it paved. We are developing the land.

the size of your culvert will be dictated by the water flow on your property. I gauged how much water is flowing by watching the water flow in the worst rain. It is a learned skill. The length of the culvet again, will be based upon your needs. I put in two 10' x 12" culverts. I would have like to have use longer, but that was all I could get a the time.

Is crush run the same as 23A (heavy clay, some sand and crushed stone)? I’m in NW MI and contractors around me use 23A as a base. I can also get 22A which is a little lighter in the clay and heavier in crushed stone.
