Finally Got it Done! Day 2 Building the New Farm Road Cattle Crossing!
What happens here
After multiple loads of dirt are dumped along the path, the skid steer is used to push and spread the dense clay, establishing the initial road base over the culverts and filling in low spots. The operator works to create an elevated, compacted surface. This process is slow due to the heavy and sticky nature of the clay, often requiring several passes to spread each dumped load evenly.
Goal: Form a stable and elevated road base using excavated dirt
