Never put diesel on asphalt it dissolves the oil and all you are left with is plant mix

Life is a highway my friend. I have never learned anything by doing it perfectly the first time. Great job.

Love your channel and all the videos you make. You have such a beautiful looking family. I used millings in my driveway over 20 years ago. It works really well. It gets as hard as cement and has never sank in anywhere. It takes a few years for it to get really hard but when it does it will never move or settle on you. Keep up the great work and can't get enough of your videos!!!!☺☺☺☺☺

Love the videos Mike. Keep up the good work!! You know the more you use the skid steer the better you will get with it 😉

I really enjoy your attitude and how much you seem to enjoy life. Keep up the good work.

Happy Friday Mike! I love millings, have them on all the property parking lots and some driveways. It's great after some sun hits it and it bonds together and packs like concrete. We plow it here in New England with no damage or tear out. I believe you'll be quite happy with it! Enjoy your weekend my friend. Doug@ the "ranch"

Your truck driving skills make your skidder driving look awesome . Lol

Place, water, grade compact, water, final blade, compact, light mist with diesel on few hot days. 35 years paving, site and utilities.

I use grindings a lot for driveways. I found some rubberized asphalt grindings that I put at my house. I tracked em in with my mini and steel tracks. That worked good for breaking the chunks. And then box scraper and roller. Would like to oil it when completely done. The rubberized stuff holds together nicely and packs good! Cheers 🍻

4 years later - still a great video

The guy that put mine in drove & dumped the full length of the drive in thin layers so each layer was compacted with the next layer. He also made it wider, then made a small rise in the middle so rain run off went to the sides and not run the length of the drive, to the house or to the main road. I was very happy with the results. You sir made a good attempt at fixing your driveway. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Looking great DP!👏👏

Considering the name of your channel/business and the fact that you have at least some equipment you know something about grading and it shows by how well you use that box blade. The Millings, by now I'm sure since it's March of 2020 have compacted and become just pretty much a solid mass. EXCELLENT!! I Dump Trucked for 40 years and most that time I was involved in asphalt work from time to time. I have worked on most of the bigger DOT projects here in Ga. since they redid the Downtown Connector, I-75/85 n I-20 and that was the mid 80s. I've hauled millings a lot too and they are the best driveway material short of actually paving that there is. In fact, they may be better because asphalt - or concrete will crack eventually. If there is ever anything like that with millings just add a little more to it and it's fixed!! So far so good it looks like. Oh! And we ALL kill the truck engine sometimes!!! LOL!!! Going to watch the next one!!

I had this placed on my gravel driveway. Works great. Not gravel but not blacktop. Very little erosion after 15 years. Great way to go.

I did that to my drive about 5 years ago .......with a simplicity and a snow plow ! 😩😩😩 I’ve been very happy with my 12 ton load ....wink wink ! Thanks Mike

This is a job for Andrew Camarata.

be sure to put a layer on the Y part of your drive too. loaded truck rolling over the edge will break up the drive at the meeting point. I bought 3/4 of a 15 ton truck full of asphalt when a truck had a partial load that needed to go back to the plant. spread it with a skid steer and rolled it in with it . left tiremarks that eventually went away after 30 plus years. That was in the later 1970s and now is 2019 so my math might be off a bit. If your drive loosens up you can always call for the asphalt spraying truck to lay down a coating then roll it in again here they have started using asphalt reclaiming trains. Grinder in front with a long train of equipment to heat it up mix with fresh asphalt and then a paver at theback. Saves a bunch of trucking

Kudos for kicking it out w what works!!

Good stuff. I found a highway contractor with gobs of it. I bought a pickup load for 15 bucks and was so impressed that I called for a bid to do my quarter mile long driveway with it instead of gravel at 300 for a truck the size of yours. $5600. I like to died. I should have shut up and hauled it one truck load at a time for a week or two. It’s great stuff.

Awesome job. Thanks I enjoyed your video.

Hey man you did an awesome job, I’m jealous, you have some nice equipment to work with and just have fun while your doing it.

The goto for driveways is either millings or RC6. Millings tends to be less dusty.

I have used that stuff in the past and it does pack real good. Thank you guys will be happy with it.👍☕️🍀

very nice results.....i could see the value in the not having the washouts. looks like it packed in great.

I use to spray my dump body with diesel and then a soap like stuff then load the dump truck set the spread chains open the gate have the truck in 4x4 low range start dumping as I am going1st gear shift in 2 gear as the body goes up going shift in 3 gear now it is empty, you travel slow or faster as thick as you want it. I had people say they never see that it looked like a paving machine spread the material like you had then I would back drag with the bucket and the scraper blade at the same time to level the stop and starts another trick is back drag with a snow plow

I did this to my driveway just spread it out without tamping or rolling it and it holds up great. Fixed my mud hole driveway and makes it look better than the white gravel that was there. Just need a few more loads to perfect the grade but I'm in no rush. Good job brother 👍

I done my driveway with millings and you are right hard to grade! New subscriber.

Asphalt milling spread one layer, roll compact. Then have an asphalt oil truck lay down a fresh coat of hot oil, then chip seal the surface with more asphalt millings, roll compact.

That looks nice! Should make for a real nice driveway! Thanks for the video!

Looks good. I hope it drains well and doesn't get slick as a gut when it freezes over. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

That definitely won't be dusty, and once you get it all packed down you can seal it with the fiber sealer and it will look just like pavement, great job Mike

them millings we have used on country drive ways as well as high traffic places such as gas stations stores in the country, for a number of years, the tric is to roll it in when it is hot out, and roll it again a few weeks later when its hot, as some areas dont pack in really tight, the more you drive on it in hot days the better it gets, it makes it nice for snow plowing in the winter and far better water run off, and it never crakes,, but it has to go on heavy or its crap

You both are very good, thanks again, for the great video.

Great Video. Thanks

nice work !in regards to your Roller not having a Water System to prevent Asphalt from sticking to the Drum i’ve watched several Asphalt Crews laying roads ,Paths ,etc and those crews use a Pump Sprayer filled with Diesel Fuel and periodically Spray down their tools and machines

I am a paver operator in Utah. The best thing you can do with millings is to have some one shoot it with 3/10ths of ss1 tack oil

A humble operator is always a pleasure to work with. You’ll get better with that little skiddy, they’re fun and very useful. Just takes time buddy. On the other hand, you got a heaping full bucket with that loader. Great job! I’m subscribing to see how this all goes:)👍🏻

Sure keeps the dust down . You wife ought to like that . Good job . Another good show on the family Channel !

That looks nice. Nice equipment sir!

Looks fantastic.

They used course grinds on a couple county road here one time and it would pack but was always soft / spongy. They ended up loading it up and hauling it away and chip and sealed the roads. Hope the fine millings are better.

Really nice job, looks excellent thank you for sharing

When grading with a skid steer found it easier the tilt bucket down drag it with bucket backwards

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Your driveway looks good, Awesome job

They sell you milling? Out here in Pa they normally are free from the state DOT

Do you have any videos on how got started and the progression of equipment you bought and why?

We did my driveway and parking area about a year ago with millings, got about 400 tons of it delivered. Graded it out and rolled it in the fl summer time. Now a year later it looks like a real paved road, after time all the loose fine material can be graded up or broomed up!

My baseball field complex has a dirt road leading to our grass parking lot and it washes out really quick. The only tools and equipment I have is a 4ft wide leveler and a kubota tractor and no money but I do my best. You do awesome work.

I did a half mile as the State was grinding, gave the contractor a short haul and the farmer a nice lane. 1150B case dozer is all I used, kept it graded and back dragged while the trucks coming in and out to dump provided the compaction.

That is a nice looking truck, hope she is running good for you. Once you get a hang of driving it you shouldn't stall out so much. When you get it packed down how you like it spread barn lime in a thin layer on a really hot day and either let it sit or roll it with something light. Once it sets it will be harder.

Hey DP a good friend of mine used to have a lot to do with reusing reconstituted asphalt and he said the best way to do it is on a hot day and spray it with diesel once you lay it then roll it with a big flat drum roller so you don’t have wheel ruts from using a truck

Did the same thing to my driveway about ten years ago ,and it's held up well. It's downhill so it washed out every time we had a hard rain. Not anymore though.

The surgeon general has declared successive face-palming causes concussions and breathing difficulties from swollen nasal passages.

Nice job 👍

Thank you for the video. I’ve been debating on doing my shop property with this for a while. I was just worried about turning trailers around and chewing it up. Any problems with that? Also we have a parking area down at the bottom with a negative grade going to my shop that gravel has been washing out. (Circle drive) Billy

Man that looks great .. Bring several loads down here to Georgia and just dump them at my house ... I’ll do all the spreading ... Great job as always . That 110 is a great little machine I’m possibly going to buy one off the local rental yard when they decide to sell it.

Kinda late now, but next time try tailgating the load while you dump. Leave about 4" of chain connected on the tailgate , and travel when you dump. 2 things easer on the equipment and less time spreading. BUT nice job and great topping. For the packing process, w/the roller use a propane brush torch heat the product before rolling. Also attach a scraper blade to the top frame of the roller will keep it from sticking.

If you want it to be as close to asphalt as you can spray a layer of oil on it and it’ll be almost as good as a county road 👍🏼

Great video really enjoyed it looking forward to the second part 👍 why don't you use the chain on the tailgate to spread the milling evenly and thickness.

Awesome Job!!

Looks good

If you can get someone to come seal over those millings now with an ASPHALT EMULSION based sealer, it works great. Can’t be coal tar based sealer. AE sealer will make it hard as a rock while soaking in and giving it a bit of moisture at the same time. 👍🏻👍🏻

You did a great job. It looks great.

I use asphalt millings for a lot of drives and pull ins for the farm. Best I’ve found

I'm curious, it's been 7 months, how has the drive held up? Maybe a video update of how you are happy or would have done it differently. 😀😀

That dump truck sounds like it’s got some power👍🏼 what motor is in it?

i havent stalled a truck that many times in 20 years, lmao. looks great!

I like watching this kind of stuff

He's like one man army 😂

Nice job, looks great and should hold up well. Remember you GOTTA give it fuel when you let out the clutch. lol

Looks great

Woah nice spot you have there!! Great view

I have seen a fellow mist the millings with a mostly diesel and a small part gas and burned the millings then re rolled them but there is never much structure to it after on a hot day with a heavy truck you can sink in it

I've never had access to millings but I've fixed a lot of bad driveways and they lasted for years. Good job with the millings...I'm sure Andrew would approve...😃 I had to throw that in cause I'm sure you get tired of hearing what he would do...lol.

I thought Brandon had come to help with that "bucket cam" shot, must just be the power of the stickers. LOL Looks great, laid that out up in the mountains does great. If it ever sticks to the roller, just spray a little diesel on it to keep it off. Works on the bed also.

Why you never let me help with the fun jobs?! Coulda spread it out with the Kubota while you were stalling- - errr - - hailing with the truck! Done in no time, more time for vodkas!

glad there was enough binder left on the millings to make it work for you.

How do you maintain it if you bad spots later down the road

Looks great. No more dusty driveway.

Good JOB MAN and enjoy the video .

That stuff Is great, but use it right away. When it sits in the hot sun it bonds together and turns rock hard. Minus that, it’s a great surface for your driveway or road.

Once packed in it's a great driveway. We done that to one of our farm driveway that would washout in heavy rains. After we done that an got it packed that fall with all the loaded wagons I don't think you could dig it out now. But I think you need a refresher course on how to drive a clutch again LOL

I have had this driveway for about five years. Like it. I am thinking about tuning it up a little. Grading, new material, etc.. Anybody have experience with it and know how to maintain it?

I have dumped millings into a road paver,a contactor was starting a bike path ,and it worked awesome !

How is this holding up? Would you do it again? I have a decent size driveway but I’m at the end of a dead end street that catches most of the neighborhoods water. I do have my driveway angled but wondering if it will wash it away like it keeps doing my gravel.

Nice job. Now you should consider spraying Hawkeseal on it and rolling it again to make it really permanent . It will help with cracking and potholes. Just an FYI.

Whats your GMCizzle have for a motor? Sounds good and plus the all mighty Wade has nothing but good stuff to say about you and your equipment I must add! Thanks for all your positive attitude and great videos!!

when you were loading millings on your truck you seemed to be parked far away or is it the camera lens?

How well does it hold up? Any issues with it sticking to car tires?

There's only one problem with the asphalt millings. When the sun gets them really hot they tend to get real soft and push out instead of staying tight. That's what I've observed from some driveways I've seen done this way. It looks great at first but the longer it's there the more problems you find. What you've done looks really nice though. Hope it has worked out for you! 👍

A good tight stone grade watered and compacted under the sun. Then 2 inches of base

Spread a light layer of sand over it before you compact it. Makes it very stable. Great videos !!

If you run a few loaded dump trucks over those millings, they will get rock solid. We use millings for haul roads, construction entrances and everything else. There is currently a mountain of millings in my pit, we have mountains crammed anywhere and everywhere.

just chain the tailgate of the dump truck and spread the millings with the truck .. ..

No driveway is complete without a Levi inspection 🐾

I just did 180 tons on my driveway. About 3" thick, and then roll it and then roll it and then roll it some more.

Do you have any photos of the driveway roller and compacted?

I do a lot of millings driveways down here in Fl . Highway millings are the best its usauly all alsphalt and no road base ground up in it . Spread water and compact with a vibratory roler and I add Dawn Dish soap never Diesel it acts as a retardant . Hot days down here and the AC content bonds it back together .

asphalt millings are the best for driveways, i like using limestone crushed to a 2.5in screened it locks in great and drains well if your base is strong

Going to be a great driveway when it's all said in done properly beable to roll it after it cools off sure wouldn't hurt any that's forsure. Keep up the great videos
