Hank spreading the rock with the skid steer works great and finish off with the landplane on the tractor. Both of you can done a bit quicker. Really enjoy the channel.
Hank you need to make a plate top to go on your skid steer on top of the bucket that will have an opening of about 5" so you can Guage the rock while distributing in on the ground, reduces the spreading time greatly.
Here in Missouri, they put down a layer of 2-3 inch clean rock and then 1 inch minus for the top coat. Our last driveway we put in got a layer of driveway fabric first then the rock.
Howdy Hank. You are going to have to hang out with Mike Morgan. He loves stone for his yard and you can tell he has worked with it many times by the way he can spread it with tractor or skid loader. Up here in Maine, I don’t know if anyone uses stone for their yard. It is either “hot top” (paved) or gravel. Hang in there and hope the weather was not too bad on you all down there.
🪨 I generally haul 18 ton on the tandem Mack and it usually cost the customer around $775 for 57’s. Rip rap cost a little more per ton and crusher run a little less per ton.
I just bought 24 yards of "road gravel" (21aa/Crusher Run) last month. It was $800 delivered. I thought that was expensive until I seen what you paid. "#57" is $650 per 12 yards delivered here in Northern MI.
Iam in lakecity Florida and that about what we pay for 57rock it come out of marieta Florida west of perry fl you should have put limerock down first and compacted it in that sand you will lose about 2'to3'
We have a good quarry $350-$375 for a tri axle load 20 tons plus or minus but we live in the great state on southern Indiana we grow rocks here I'm about an hour from the world famous Bedford stone in Bedford Indiana 👍
I usually hull my own gravel on my dump trailer, but I normally don’t use that much normally get 4 tons at a time but the last gravel I bought here in Hickory North Carolina where I live was $23 a ton and I believe that was the 471 gravelwhich is think inch and a half inch and quarter something like it
Limestone rock breaks down as you drive on it and makes its own dust, so we have a plume of white dust instead of brown dust now when we drive up the driveway.
Helene has now come and gone. I am watching this on 09/29 in Michigan. I've seen many reports of destruction and devastation from the storm. We're praying for you and everyone affected by it. And now they are saying there's another system trying to form up in the same area that Helene started from. 🙏🙏🙏
You should have had that driver set his chains on the gate and spread that for you. I drove dump truck for a couple years and had to spread many times, no big piles to have to smooth out.
I've been through every hurricane in Florida since Eliana, and now, 3 months into living in Tennessee, remnants of this one knocked out everything. No cells, power, or internet. Using starlink at the moment. Never been cutoff like this. No way in or out until the water recedes.
The soil on his place can easily support a vehicle so Hank would really be wasting money on geofabric and rip raff. Using 57 washed stone (the same stone used to make concrete) makes a really nice top coat for vehicles to drive on and not get dirty when it rains. It also helps control dust under heavier traffic. Asphalt millings will leach petroleum products into the soil and I seriously doubt Hank would want that on his flower farm. He might consider crusher run because it would be a little cheaper, but vehicles would create a little more dust when driving on it
It’s not cheap here in McDonough Ga. Think God I want have to buy anymore I’ve sold the 22 acres plus know more cutting the pasture. Have 12 months to move.
that looks like finish run metal put the cheap run at the bottom Hank get that KW spreading ,,.. 25 years spreading all kinds gravel some at high speed with fines at 30 ks we call it dust fines and it is dusty from down under NZ we have 40 ml 25ml 65 ml base rock for roads drainage metal 60 /40 also farmers Grades we have some pretty fine Quarries local firm has 14 quarries in the North Island New Zealand
Don't know what you are trying to do here But it looks to me like your operator not putting enough rock down. I 33c on my sloped hill and it is fine, does not wash away. Looks like all that is happening here is he is covering up some dust with a small amount of rock. Just my opinion.Have a good day. .
I know what I would do. If I lived in a place I couldn't get rock next pause of it was expensive. I would find out where it's cheapest. Have it cooked in by 18 Wheeler dump truck. The cheapest as you can get it and then sell it. And make your profit. You stumbled up on a need and you're area. You could become a rock dealer. In landscape supplier. Just another way to make some money. When life gives you lemons make lemonade. Those 18 Wheeler trailers get hold a lot of gravel. It's just an idea. In another way to make money.
Obviously, you would rather put hours on your bobcat than use the trucks' spreader gate, the truck would have done a way neater looking job. Surely, you could have thought of a more creative way to produce this content.
You're falling into the trap of calling things what "uninformed " people call it. There is a giant difference in price, and purpose between gravel and crushed stone. Crushed stone is always more expensive and doesn't roll around when driven on, and is less water permeable. Gravel is wonderful for a water drain under a roadway. And you are correct, most of the price that you are paying for is transportation.
▶I bought $350 WORTH OF GRAVEL: th-cam.com/video/az9e9rOLT5c/w-d-xo.html
Last that Donna and her Mom bought was $85 on a single axel. About 10 to 11 yards. That was for 2" minus screened creek gravel.
Last load of gravel I got was 250 for 18 tons I believe. You should have asked them to tailgate spread it for you
Hank spreading the rock with the skid steer works great and finish off with the landplane on the tractor. Both of you can done a bit quicker. Really enjoy the channel.
Rock is expensive in South Louisiana too, about the same price you paid.
Hank you need to make a plate top to go on your skid steer on top of the bucket that will have an opening of about 5" so you can Guage the rock while distributing in on the ground, reduces the spreading time greatly.
100 Ton of 1.5" crusher run cost me $1400 delivered and "Tailgated" in N.E. Oklahoma
Here in Missouri, they put down a layer of 2-3 inch clean rock and then 1 inch minus for the top coat. Our last driveway we put in got a layer of driveway fabric first then the rock.

Hey Hank, live in central Idaho, road mix gravel is $211/ tri-axel delivered. $350 / belly dump tractor n trailer delivered . That is locally
You da ROCK 57 Ham-a-knocker 🔨💪🤛😂
Nice job and God bless y'all
Iam in lakecity Florida and that about what we pay for 57rock it come out of marieta Florida west of perry fl you should have put limerock down first and compacted it in that sand you will lose about 2'to3'
But a 22ton load that size gravel in 2005 20miles one way cost $275 total. Times have changed!

I BOUGHT $350 worth of GRAVEL! WHAT I GOT WAS SURPRISING!
th-cam.com/video/az9e9rOLT5c/w-d-xo.html
Up here in Ellijay it’s around $49.00 a ton at the crusher that’s not including delivery we get a little over 18 tons on our tandem trucks
Limestone rock breaks down as you drive on it and makes its own dust, so we have a plume of white dust instead of brown dust now when we drive up the driveway.
Rock is crazy expensive here around Dothan…trying to build a 1500ft driveway right now on my property the cost is nuts!!
Always nice seeing that rock fall out.
Hank did you guys have any problems with the Hurricane? Hope all is well.
We fared well. Thank you for asking
Bought 60 ton 3/4” clean a couple weeks back delivered $1400.
A little East of KC, MO.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Yeah we thought about that, but we didn't know for sure which direction we were going to go with it. So we just said dump it

UP in town in Cincinnati OHIO on ladlow street they didn't have power N all the traffic lights were out
I use aspo millings at $200/20 ton delivered.
The gravel isn't the expensive part. The truck is. It's the loaded $6.00- $7.00/mile cast.
I just paid 900 a load for 3 loads of SB2 here in Louisiana
♠️ so that's what $75 a yard. That's a steal. In Mississippi I'm paying 125
What would asphalt tailings cost you? Other channels put fist size rock down on a plastic sheeting first and the add the small rock.
We don't like that technique for what we're doing.

The driver can spread the gravel a lot more even.
It’s not cheap here in McDonough Ga. Think God I want have to buy anymore I’ve sold the 22 acres plus know more cutting the pasture. Have 12 months to move.
The thing you found in the yard is an excavator tooth.
Indeed

I know i chimed in last time but yea, 23 dollars a ton delivered for 3/4 clean
BossLady 👍
That was a bucket tooth from an excavator that you found
🪨 nice work like your content
Appreciate it!
Why didn't the truck spread it ?
Wow I thought $500 was high here ,got about 20 ton don’t know what that is in yards !
I was Hauling Clay for a Guy I Worked for a 26 Yard Truck Load is $150.00
Is gravel cheaper
How come you don't you your dump trailer to haul the rock to save on delivery charges
th-cam.com/video/az9e9rOLT5c/w-d-xo.html
How much of that 1440 was delivery?
If you want something done correctly on Hamiltonville Farm, you let Gina do it. #ifyouknowyouknow

Try crushed concrete,A lot cheaper!!!
$1400.00😮😮😮😢😢😢
👍
Is pee gravel any cheaper?
yes. a little.
Why didn’t you just let the dump truck spread it for you
Why don't you use sand
🤼♂️

😂🤣🤣🤣@@hhamilton1970
That was a loud burp around the 9:10 mark. Rude.
That was painful to watch.
Then you need to get out more 😂
A tooth that has come from a bucket. Missing one?
