Building a Road Part 2 - 1000ft Gravel Driveway

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Building Gravel Roads! Easy gravel driveway with a TYM tractor. This is not the only way, but it works in our area. We have put off the building of a road to the sawmill for some time. It can't wait any longer with the spring rains coming. We have to get the gravel driveway drainage right too. If we don't get it done, we can't get back to the sawmill without getting stuck. We used the TYM T25 mostly to prep this road for gravel. We used the TYM T474 for most of the heavy lifting. A good grader blade can get some work done. @TYMTractorsUSA @Hardee mfg

On my channel
I tell ya, here's another comment; I wish I could get about three dumptrucks of that crush run here in North Idaho. As I was typin' you answered my 2nd question about the TYM474. I have one as well and its a work horse.
Oh great job on the road.
As far as your dad telling you that if you’re gonna be dumb you’ve got to be tough… I like that. It made me wonder if he told you 2 other things and you just forgot one of them
Our family is full of old sayings. We had 3 inches of rain yesterday. I hope the road is still there.
If anything, showing you digging with a loader is a testament to the equipment and the operator. No harm done in showing that.
Thank you. I have a lot of new tractor operators watch the channel, and I always worry they will bend their loader trying to do what I do. Over the years, I have learned the feel, sound, and smell of a tractor.
HI Tony! Great videos on building a road! I have a couple of hard clay roads in south AL that I"m trying to repair/improve, and your videos are helping educate me on what can and should be done! Thanks again! Love your work!
Thank you. My roads are holding well.
@@TonysTractorAdventure hi..what did u say is the mixture for the clay, stone..etc...it would really help our area here in ZAMBIA 🇿🇲
I got nothing intelligent to add/say. Clearly you know what you need and how to do it. Thanks for the lesson. Looking forward to the next lesson.
Refreshing! Each area is different for sure.
I'm in a similar work situation as you in Northern California. A lot of culverts, drainage work and gravel driveway construction. I like the crush run(?), but haven't seen it. Road base (3/4" crushed with fines) is our go-to material. That is until I discovered recycled concrete. Concrete chunks ground up. I like it better than road base and the price is considerably less.
Win/win!
That would be awesome. My roads are holding up well. I wish we had recycled concrete around here.
Awesome video! God bless you
Thank you so much.
And God Bless you too
From Upstate NY, near the Canadian Border. I really wish we has rock/clay like that here! Road is looking good!
We have it good around here. Short winters and good dirt.
Looks really good Tony! 👍🚜 I might put down some grass killer to keep the weeds at bay, but other than that...no other suggestions. Keep up the great work!
I sprayed the road last fall with ground clearer. I will spray again this year. We have to fight the woods and weeds every year or it will take over. Fast!
Tony the road is turning out great, learning a lot on how to build a road and how your using the tractor! Thanks
A gravel road is never done but I sure like having it.
Nice work
Thank you
Great job Tony!!
Thank you. The road is holding up very well. We have the drainage right
@@TonysTractorAdventure Should be doing the same in about a year or so. Going to start looking for land in Tennessee soon.
In my area, there is mostly cinders and excellent drainage so the bar ditch on the side of the road is not needed as long has you have some crown in the road. A few miles a way there is a lot more clay so the bar ditch, crosscuts and culverts are needed.
This was an old logging road I cleaned up a few years ago. It had some cross cuts in it.
Looks great, like you know what you are doing. I live in a very rural area and materials are hard to come by. The original owner built their road and driveway with raw talus from the base of a mountain that was likely just screened through a 4-inch grizzly. A lot of fines and a little rock. An acceptable road base, but that is how they left it for 20 years. It turns to gooey muck during the spring thaw.
Once I know for sure, this the road's permanent location, I will put down a good coating of rock and eventually have it paved. We are developing the land.
I live where TN, GA, and AL come together. When I dug out the basement to the house, it was nothing but sand rock and clay. Pretty much what you got there. Mainly call it chert.
I have heard it called chert. Love this stuff!
Tony você fez um grande trabalho. Parabéns.
Desde Brasil 🇧🇷
Thank you
@@TonysTractorAdventure Tony eu gostaria que você fale dos seus tratores, quantos cv? E as utilidades que esses tratores têm. Assim como os implementos dos tratores. É por que você escolheu esses implementos e não outros.
Obrigado amigo
Bonjour Tony
Très belle vidéo comme d'habitude 👍
Très belle route, très beau travail 👍
Ça va être un plaisir de rouler dessus
Merci mon ami. Je m'excuse de ne pas avoir répondu à votre message. Nous avons travaillé toute la journée. Je ne peux pas utiliser le traducteur sur mon téléphone portable, je dois donc traduire vos commentaires sur l'ordinateur. Merci de toujours nous soutenir. Tony
Thank you for sharing. Here in Iowa I only have dark black soil. Love your videos
That dark black Souil is good for growing but harder to build roads on.
Yes sir good point on the loader I think the problem is people think their compact tractor is a piece of construction equipment.
That is a fact. A tractor does a lot of things ok to good, but nothing exceptionally well.
Thanks for all the info on your videos. I do have one suggestion if you are going to dig with the bucket get a set of ripper teeth for it it will help a lot. And from one Veteran to another Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your service. I have never had a need for a cutting bar or ripper teeth. I tried it on one bucket before, but it is not for me. I like the smooth bucket.
Tony the new road is looking good. I may need you to do some work on my driveway. Take care, Ben.
Thank you. I recommend you grade your driveway and show us how you do it. 👍
Looking good Sir
We are getting close.
Thank You very much.
👍 part 3 is out
Tony it looks like you have a practiced hand at road building, I'm taking notes. You dirt mix up here in northern Ontario would cost about $2000 for a tri-axle dump truck, and special order. Up here we use 3/4" clean with crusher reject as a topcoat. Excellent work! 🌴👍🏝🍻🚜
We are blessed with this type of mix. It is less than $300 a load. Time will tell if it washes out.
Looking good
Thank you
Doing good job , like your videos
Thank you. We are trying. We are moving forward each day.
Keep up with the awesome videos love them all
Thank you. We have a lot of work to do. Cutting a homestead out of the woods is tough.
Great video thanks for sharing
👍😊
Enjoyed the video Tony. The road or drive is looking good.
It is coming along.
Looks great
Thank you
Nice job! I learn something!
Great job Tony! the tractor loader will sure dig better if you have the piranha tooth bar. I found that out with mine.
I don't want to encourage people to dig with the loader too much. I should have brought the backhoe. Still, I got it done slow and steady.
Hi Tony, we have the Crush Run here in West Virginia, but unlike yours ours is gray in color. I've used it a bunch and like you said, once compacted its about like concrete.
Thanks!
You are welcome
I haven’t seen crush run here in northern Arizona. We have recycled concrete and I use it on my road/driveway. It works the same and is crushed to the same consistency.
I bet that is just as good if not better.
It's really hard to judge slopes on video but it looks like you're considering all the major possibilities and compensating for surface water/slopes. It looks like fun! God bless you guys!
Thank you my friend. We have been through several heavy rains since it was finished. It had done well. We have 4 inches of rain Forecasted for Tuesday. they are expecting heavy flooding so we will really see what is going to happen.
Tony I’am here again from 🇵🇷
Glad to have you
Crusher run in my area of TN is 3/4 down to fines. It packs down like concrete, but doesn't have any clay in it.
We have heavy clay in our area. It is the kind of clay they make bricks out of. We have clay pits all over.
Damn nice.
Thank you. The road is holding up well.
The "crusher run" that you used on your driveway, in our area, N. Wisconsin it's called rotten granite. It's usually used as a decorative finish driveway.
It is used as a cheap base here. 😀
Nice...
Thank you
Where I live they call it bank run gravel. They mix it with a weak cement mix and water and call it slurry
They don't mix cement in here. It naturally occurring. Hills and hills of it. We have Rock quarries every where around here.
@@TonysTractorAdventure The only time that they do that here is when they want to fill a excavation. Like when they have to get a road back in service shortly. The stuff sets up really hard, and fast.
Curious on your review of the TYM 474
I have put a review on my channel for the 474.
Is crush run the same as 23A (heavy clay, some sand and crushed stone)? I’m in NW MI and contractors around me use 23A as a base. I can also get 22A which is a little lighter in the clay and heavier in crushed stone.
I am not sure. So many variables
It’s called Red Dog here in Ky and is used on coal mining roads a lot.
I was surprised to find out this is not common everywhere.
Thank you very the awesome videos. What size culvert width did you use i got one 8" 20' wide do you recommend sizing larger
8" wide 20' long
the size of your culvert will be dictated by the water flow on your property. I gauged how much water is flowing by watching the water flow in the worst rain. It is a learned skill. The length of the culvet again, will be based upon your needs. I put in two 10' x 12" culverts. I would have like to have use longer, but that was all I could get a the time.
@@TonysTractorAdventure thank you!
Good job! Must be nice to work in clay..,..My farm is mostly rock....
It is really nice to be able to carve out what we need.
what is this RED DIRT GRAVEL mix ? ???? what it is called at the gravel pit or landscape nursery ?
Great video! I noticed what looked like a lot of flex in that loader bucket when you were back dragging. Does TYM offer a heavy duty bucket?
I have never had a problem with it. A cutting edge can be added.
longer culvert would have been nice......i spliced two together to cover our ditch.
They can be hard to come by.
If I could get a good price for a tractor loader like u have I’d get me one of them , not sure if there is a tym dealership around where I live up in pa
Just go to the TYM website and click find dealer. You have a lot of dealers in your state. They can help with the pricing of the tractors.
I don't think we have that kind of crushed stones mixed with clay here. I may suppose freezing temperature and clay do not make a good combination. But for your purpose, that will be like concrete! Thanks!
Yes sir! I would have to do a lot more word to build roads where you live. I would have to dig down about two/three feet and replace it with layers of rock and gravel. I might put down fabric in you area too. Different beast there. I watch a video of them building a road in Alaska. Crazy tough!
Looks like you re using the float function.
Some times. I don't use it as much as controlling the loader.
I need to do this on my property. 900ft. Would need to rent the tractor and the boxblade or rear blade, along with back hoe. Sandy lome here in my part of texas. Im doing a cost breakdown. Crushed concrete would be 10k. 3 culverts, and geo textile down. plus rental cost and timing the rock delivery. 😢😢
OR pay $27,000 to have it done? Anyone want to through me your thoughts?
My little road has held up for 3 years. It definitely seems to be a cost savings if you do it yourself. For me, it gives me great pleasure and self-satisfaction of doing things myself.
I'm just a couple miles south of you but when I get crusher run, it's all "blue" stone, no clay & costs a LOT more than $300. Since I'm incompetent on these platforms, can you send me some kind of message on this UA-cam system to tell me where to go for that? Please & thank you.
It comes from the gravel pit out on 79 towards the lake.
I never seen crushed rock like that, I thought it was clay / dirt.
We have a local pitt.
Culvert not even close to deep enough.
Funny thing, they have went through two 50 year rains and many heavy rains. Nothing has failed or washed. Crazy, Right?
@@TonysTractorAdventure
Good to know!
Learned a few thing from this vid!
Thanks!
Looks great
Thanks!
