Blasterdad 2,556 #1 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Got the C-141 out to "help" grade out the new carport today. Borrowed a good friend's JD loader with rear box blade to do most of the work & was using the to clean it up. Was working great until I ran the 141 out of gas, so I thought hey, perfect photo op. & a couple more when I got done, have ten yards of gravel coming in the morning so I'll get to use the grader blade tomorrow. Sorry about the last pic, but gotta give some credit where credit is due... Will have some more pics of the progress tomorrow night.

Retired Wrencher 4,876 #2 Posted March 23, 2017 Looks like a fun project with the right tractors. are you getting a crushed stone? Or something else. Enjoy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #3 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Great project! On my to-do list.....someday. Used stone then topped with road blacktop millings. Used the Horse blade, another mid-mount grader blade, roller. Then had Grandsons using an asphalt packer. Those millings pack like the road surface.

I might get a little more fancy later on, it's supposed to start raining here Friday night, so I need to get a good base down first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blasterdad 2,556 #6 Posted March 24, 2017 Well, I got a late start but managed to get the landscape timbers & gravel in. Used up the whole 10 yards, didn't get to play with the today, ran out of time. Oh well, it will get smoothed out & packed down tomorrow. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
