Always looking for alternate work ideas when we can’t be on site.

What happens here

After the gravel has been initially dumped in piles or windrows, switch to using the skid steer (compact track loader) to perform the fine spreading and leveling. Utilize the front bucket of the skid steer to systematically push, drag, and smooth the gravel across the floor. Work in overlapping passes, gradually moving the material from the higher piles to fill lower areas. Aim for a consistent and uniform layer across the entire designated area, paying close attention to maintaining the desired depth and levelness. This step requires a steady hand and practice with the skid steer controls to achieve an even finish.

Goal: Achieve a uniform and level gravel surface
