Understand Gravel Road Principles

trailer so guys what you need to know is that this is a huge part of farming in a huge part of getting a start here so we're starting from scratch this was all bare land this was a big briar patch before we bought it so we got the gravel truck the rock truck coming up here and there's several different projects we're going to be doing I'm going to take you down and show you one of the biggest hazards we have is that the rock trucks dump bed is going to be up higher than the power line so we've got to guide him through there so he's coming up through here now I'm going to circle back down and I'll show you what we're doing so you run into all sorts of troubles when you're running a gravel truck on soft ground so that's another issue that we're going to have we're going to be putting some rock down on some new land which is right here in front the house and we just basically needed a little more area to pull big trailers and park them so we have a big old flatbed trailer hook to the back of the truck and we need a big place to park it it's a it's rock and gravel and keeping things from being muddy and a huge mess is a big thing big part of farming a big part of starting the enterprise like this if you guys are new to the channel the enterprise is going to be a grass-fed beef operation and a pasture poultry operation so here's the truck and there's the power line so I'm gonna get here and I'm gonna guide him dump this truck back [Music] this thing set up with chains on the back of it and the chains hold it open as far as they can hold it and the issue is down here we had some washing there he goes he's gonna go as fast as he can go and the rock snot coming out quite as smooth as we'd like it go go go it needs to go faster so we're trying to get away with only running three loads of rock today but we might end up running five loads of rock if he goes faster it'll be a big help to me that's it that's the load so what he'll do he'll go back to the quarry he'll be back here in about 45 minutes and we'll do our second load we're gonna ride down here and talk to him about the way he dumped and everything like that and make sure that he knows exactly what we're looking for good communication is very important here but it looks pretty good I'm riding over it now looks really good so let me show you a little bit about what kind of rock we're putting down here so this is called crush run and it has rock dust in small gravels and larger gravels in there and this is what…
