that guy bouncing along in the grader must be from my area
Almost all wash boarding come from the grader driver is just running to fast! like the fist of this video you can see the guy bouncing up and down! that is making wash boarding!!!
In response to other comments, YES there is such thing as a good gravel road. I like riding my road bike on gravel roads, and a well-maintained gravel road (i.e. level with a good layer of surface dirt over a gravel and dirt base), is silky smooth and much, much, much better than a crappy paved road. The best thing is that a good dirt road is (depending on climate) easy and cheap to make: in the in the spring dump a little gravel in low spots, run a grader over the rough patches, wait a week for traffic to compact everything, and enjoy. Compare that with a paved road, which gets repaved every decade or two and develops potholes and cracks (that are often poorly repaired) in the meantime. Granted, gravel roads can't hold up to heavy traffic, and really dry climates can turn gravel roads to dust, but in many rural areas, dirt roads make much more sense than paved roads.

Its easy, just slow down
How to grade gravel with wash board
A few years ago I was visiting my snowbird folks in Yuma AZ for Christmas and we went up to Picacho Peak one day. It was a great trip, except for the washboard gravel roads we traveled. They were fearsome, especially since my stepdad had the tires on the truck inflated to the max for mileage. I swear they shook my guts loose. There was a goldmine in the area so bug trucks traveled the roads and they didnt grade them often enough. It made a hell out of what should have been a beautiful day...
thank you for the information
Muy bueno el vídeo. Yo trabajo para una administración pública que suele arreglar caminos pero me mandan con la motoniveladora sin escarificadores, sin cuba de agua, sin rulo.... sólo yo y la motoniveladora. Es lo que aquí en España se conoce como "pan para hoy y hambre para mañana" ja, ja...
Enhorabuena por el vídeo está muy bien explicado. Cuando tenga tiempo busco la parte 3.
I ll have to remember that" bread for today, hunger for tomorrow " I live in new mexico,usa and we don t use water or comaction unless they compact it with the blade.
The best binding material is polymer.
Ótimo vídeo...
شكرا
Thanks for your video. If you have not done so already, make Jesus the Lord and Saviour of your life. Study the KJV Bible to know more. Do it now. Tomorrow is not promised.
The KJV replaced God's name with titles such as "Lord" and "God". No thanks. You don't remove the authors own name from his book!
someone got paid to make up this bullshit.its gravel.there is no such thing as a well built /well wearing gravel road
Take a drive in Waterford, VT. No idea why, but their gravel roads are nice.
