Every winter we battle the mud but we are slowly making things better. This week we picked up a rock crusher and started making our own gravel for our road.

I think you need a small “dingo” or “kanga” type stand on mini loader with a grapple bucket to pick up and cart your rocks to the jaw crusher. And the jaw crusher needs a hopper to tip the bucket load of rocks into, which will feed your jaw crusher while your off collecting your rocks. With the trailer still connected to your vehicle, the jaw crusher & hopper feeder can be moved a couple feet at a time to spread the rock as you crush it.

Take a front bucket full of rock and the crusher to the remaining puddles and first fill the puddles with rock, then later you can cover the road's entire width.

So happy you found a use for all of the rocks on your property! That rock crusher is amazing. I see a secondary business in the making selling gravel blessings to the hottest working family on RU-vid. Looking forward to all the progress you’re going to make in 2024. Blessings.❤

Hi, got a tip for you! when you finish put roller back in and make sand to put on top of what you done. Went it rain it will sink into the rock and turn into cement. OK

Once you get your big repairs done I bet you’ll be glad you have it for regular maintenance.

@dannyboyd5030 5 месяцев назад

Great system for maintaining the driveway. For the low spots that turn into a mud bog you can build up the center of the drive way and dig out water retention swales on the left or right of the bog to keep the center of drive way less muddy.

@FirstSuiGeneris 5 месяцев назад

Nice! That machine is excellent; it will be one of the projects that can be done gradually. What is nice is you also get smaller pieces and crusher fine mixed with the larger ones. Most people don't know that you need everything to have a road base; you can compact and hold everything together. There's more to the science of road building, but you have a place to start. I retired from a construction corp. It is what we do on a daily basis, along with all other aspects of roads, bridges, asphalt, etc.

@wildweeds 5 месяцев назад

Crushing rock for gravel.... great idea! I have about a half mile of dirt road on my property to deal with. Not too much trouble with mud though since it's not flat. However, the dirt road heading over to the paved road can be pretty muddy after the snow melts. Speaking of which I did two one and a quarter mile runs with the tractor to clear snow today!

@dionh70 5 месяцев назад

Also, I suggest that you take a little bit of scrap wood and cobble together a taller fence to create a feed chute to pile up more rock. Nuthin fancy, just functional.

@Step-n-Wolf 5 месяцев назад

Waiting for things to dry in Concho to get a driveway in and then get my CONEX delivered. The straight part of my driveway is about 1500'. The gravel company strongly suggested road base vs the prettier maroon or black cinders. The caleche they mix in firms up. My neighbor used road base and loves it.

@wjenkins5014 5 месяцев назад

Put the crusher trailer on the back end of the bigger trailer and strap down. Then you can just put bucket under the chute. When things dry out and you get some time, you can take to your pile and stockpile gravel for when you need it. Can't believe how much gravel that can produce in a couple of hours running. Amazing little machine.

Dont worry about the rope breaking,watch country view acres,he has air kind of things like that happen Keep chugging!❤

@seymourpro6097 5 месяцев назад

Could you dig a hole/pond/swimming pool and use it to hold water, AND use the soil to raise the road an inch or two so that winter rain/snow runs off the wheel tracked part into a side gutter.

@aboulderlifeoffgrid 5 месяцев назад

We could, but that would be quite the operation. Thanks 🙂

It's just a matter of finding one on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, or offer up. Make sure you search a very wide area because chances of one being close by are slim. Thanks and good luck 🙂

@meglange3595 5 месяцев назад

OH HAPPY DAY!! My biggest wish for you has been to have a rock crusher!! I didn't know they came that small either. I've only ever seen Andrew Camarata's massive one in his videos. What a game changer. You'll get it all worked with the height and all. And Natalie the Conqueror!! Didn't take her long to get confident and go after it. And then here she comes on the backhoe with a load of rock!! Got my total respect 😁👍. I knew little Eli was gonna get into it. That boy was born looking for a project. Well done guys!! Take care!! 🥰 ♥️

Nice job ! Is there a way to elevate the rock crushing machine with enough room for a front end loader from your backhoe? that way the gravel can be deposited directly into the backhoe. With the front loader, and you can spread the gravel ? Just a thought.

Paint the bolts a fluorescent orange or yellow colour incase they come out again easier to find by eye then maybe Dad can find it next time.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@SpaceForce2019 5 месяцев назад

The crusher rocks it.. LoL When I first saw it, and it made sand, I'm thinking just buy some more gravel, but you guys worked it out very well. And the plan to put it by the rock pile feeding the loader bucket is perfect. Also, I have to say the kids are so cool to be jumping in to help. Love seeing them in the videos. :) Did you remove the forms from the root cellar? Looking forward to seeing how it came out. Stay safe

@kenknutson1598 5 месяцев назад

Turn your process around and leave a trail of crushed rock behind you to spread out.

@Sol-x 5 месяцев назад

Great idea. For I was wondering what you were going to do with your "tower of Bable" you were making. Now you can call it your Bemini Road. (As in the Bermuda triangle road to Atlantis)🤣 PostScript; Myself? from moving small stones and leveling it out I have found using a rake is much faster and easier than a shovel.

@Sol-x 5 месяцев назад

Also, with gold miners. They always name their equipment. Same as in boating it is considered unlucky not to name a boat. If I may be so bold would offer a name as Rocksand {IE.. from the song roxanne]
