    There's a art to spreading gravel with the dump truck. We had a local rock plant guy was awesome. He said years of practice and try not to mess up.

    I'm in South Africa . Letsdig18 is still my number one channel and I usually watch it very early in the morning when I won't be disturbed. I also like Dirt Perfect Bealy Good Farm and Diesel Creek. I'm also fond of Idigit4 and Upstate Brush Control and Outdoors with the Morgans .
    Great stuff Chris.

    If I had 1/4 of Chris's knowledge to run any of that heavy machinery I would be dangerous! I admire his expert ability to just step into any of those big machines and trucks and run them.

    A few yrs ago when I bought this place the drive way was a mud pit
    An it was about 3 feet deep ruts
    I toke a load of concrete blocks
    Broke them up fill to top of the ruts
    I waited about week then put clay
    An load of gravel over it needless
    To say drive way is still in great
    Shape
    Had lots trucks driving over it
    No mud no ruts
    Does fine job

    Pretty righteous job of gate spreading if you were to ask me, and considering you don’t even spend much time in a dumper to begin with, I would lay claim to it if I were in your shoes young man, and in reverse to boot. I like it,thanks for the update sir, enjoyed watching.
