Here we call those crossbar ditches and we use them alot when reclaiming logging roads. I have one in my driveway as well due to an oilfield road coming off the mountain at the base of my driveway. I sure could use the old Ford 3,000 here for bush hogging, mowing driveway work and gardening. Only got 5 acres but more than a simple garden tractor can handle. I will be 61 in March and i just cant get out there and do things by hand anymore. I made a living on the strength of my back and its paid the price. When i was growing up a young pup we had a gasoline Ford 3000 and they in my opinion best tractors ever built. Great video as always.
@user-bc3pc5gu2y4 жыл бұрын
I had a 5000. Great tractor. They have a hydraulic pump. Not very powerfull, but one symple function at a time it's fine. You might not be able to lift the arms and use another hydraulic function at the same time but especially if you feel a bit worn out a hydraulic 3 point connection will make lifting and spilling that material much easier. With all his adjusting and the small amount he can collect almost makes me think i would opt for a wheel barrel.

You can continue to do that several times a year. Me, personally, I would use a backhoe (borrow from friend or rent one) and dig a ditch right next to the driveway down every hill to the low spot, where it would then be directed away from the driveway. Then grade the driveway toward the ditch so the water doesn't erode the driveway ever again. You can grade it easily with the box blade to have slope toward the side with the ditch side. No more ruts in the driveway to dig. Full length driveway ditch to the low area I think is the way to go. So much less maintenance and time several times a year. Just my 2 cents. It's your property and your labor, so you do you. Good video.

Maybe consider placing a power pole/treated log in the same diagonal ditch you hand dug in this video, allow 1/3 to 1/2 of pole to be above the driveways elevation. As the water gathers and runs down the driveway, the pole above the driveway grade helps most of the water to be diverted along the uphill side/backside of pole. It's better having speed bumps than ditches in a driveway. Also, you may want to consider decreasing the angle of the diagonal ditch a little compared to what angle you have it in the video so the exiting water doesn't take rock with it.

My solution to runoff going across my roadway was to buy 4 used railroad ties. I dug a trench like yours then I butted one tie against the other so it'd be wide enough to go the full width of the road, then I placed the other pair about 1 foot apart. To make sure they didn't move closer together I used those big 8" long nails from Home Depot that look like tent stakes and pounded several to the insides of the facing railroad ties. Any who the water runs fine and car and truck tires pass easily over the gap without ever going into the mud.

You have to eliminate the "walls" of dirt and leaves you have on the shoulders or edges of the driveway and lift up its center sort of the water run to each side of the driveway and once on its sides through the ditch, but even small walls will retain water and that will contribute to pot holes. That's why in any modern street the center is higher than the sides, and on the sides you'll see from time to time a register for the drain. Check any street or talk to all timers or see Andrew Camarata doing a driveway, then try what you can afford. And don't stop producing videos, we or I am learning while you do lots that I personally am trying to reach. Much respects to you and your family which somehow survived or fought for you to now continue in that land. Great job family!

It’s hard to find but, an old straight piece of galvanized guardrail turned upside in the water break sure works well. Pin it down with something or some spots of concrete on edges make it even better.

Nice gate! What powers it? You have a really nice piece of property. On areas that are prone to washing out, I use asphalt millings. Try to get them at least 3" thick, place them early in the season so they compact well in the heat of the summer. They hold up very well and cost less than gravel here in Minnesota. If you find a road milling project close by you can sometimes get them delivered cheap or for free.

I'm doing something with a shovel and pick and gravel. I dunno. We'll see.

I plan on making a couple more of these types of things he made above and filling with coarse gravel. Maybe a perforated pipe covered with course gravel would be good. Just wasting time worst case. I'll watch how things work and probably learn something and maybe even fix the driveway with any thoughtfullness.

You don't seem to understand the problem.A culvert directs water horizontally from one side of a driveway to the other. His problem is water running straight down the driveway longitudinally. So he uses and berms and swales to divert the water to diversion ditches on the low side of the drive. This technique and a couple others are used in both trail building and driveways.

Water bars are a good option but a much better option is a rolling dip, if done right once you get it done your done. Start about 15-20' on up hill side cut the road down about 3-4" deep on about a 45 to the out sloped or low of the road and feather the high side of the cut back to meet the rest of the road bed in about 10' or so. Much more driver friendly than having to stop to cross every Water bar in the road. We have used them on logging roads for years.

Good job! Twenty years ago I worked in big timber operations in California and when they decommissioned roads they used to put what they called "rolling dips" on them with a skidder on the last trip out. Push a little dirt down the hill on an angle so the water hits the trough and runs off sideways instead of down the road. They're on an angle so you can drive straight over them with a pickup without bottoming out.

It's called a water bar. The Forest Service and loggers have been doing this for decades. My driveway has one at the top on the hill. My former home had two in the driveway. Everyone around here does it. And for all those who are saying put a pipe in, the problem with that is a pipe only moves water across the road, it doesn't deal very well with the water that runs down the road itself. It's the same principle as why highways are built with a crown in the center. Trench drains work in urban areas but tend to clog withing weeks in rural settings.

Gravel costs money and could be purchased forever. Geogrid costs, too, but does not need replacement. Any idea of the breakeven time? 1 year? 20 years?

@@PeterLawton I think it's about 20-30 years from what I was told, but don't quote me on that.

for some DIY geogrid. 1 way: buy a role of non-wolven geofabric that can be thermo bonded. cut strips the required depth ( 4 or 6 inches) Fuse bond the strips into a diamond pattern the required length and width. 2nd way: Get smallish, old discarded tires, non steel belted. cut out side wall and set aside. use the treaded cyclinder, rows offset and linked linked together, as the geogrid. use good road building practices; build in layers, compact them, lay down fabric, lay down geogrid.
