That should accomplish what you want. Especially that it is now freezing as we speak. I've seen in the past where they did logging trails (for wood/pulp industry), they would put the trunks and branches as a base material... provided they had enough filling material to put on top. That worked good for them, as it is only a temporary trail. Thanks!
I plan to do a section of a different road with poles or small logs in an upcoming video. Corduroy road. Unlikely I’ll use the section of road in this video this winter. I plan to cut a new section of road on that woodlot this winter.
Looks good Glen, those rocks should make a good base. Now I would spend another couple hour's tracking in the whole new road surface as wide as you can. Then clean/ slick up the bottom of any rough section of your ditch I think the water will flow pretty well. When you do try to do some corduroying remember, if you want your finished road width to be 10' cut your slash at least 13'. Do one small area at a time or you will / may get discouraged if you try to do a too large of an area all at once. Small bites!. For instance, drop a Hemlock or Fir limb it out save the limbs, cut the logs to length and place them into the roadway with the boughs on top curved side down just like us old folks used to do when "banking the house for winter" all those years ago. Track this area in, cut 2 or 3 more trees do the same. Then try covering that area with the area fill you have available and see what if anything you should do different on the next section This way anything you find you are doing wrong it will have only been for a few feet, and not for hundreds of feet before you discover the issues if any. It is slow but enjoyable work, and it smells great! It works great, your buried slash will last for decades as long as NO AIR can get to it. Take care you're doing great love to listen to the machine work I just enjoy that sort of thing. JeffinMaine
Thanks for your comments, Jeff. Winter has arrived here now. 15F and 8" of new snow. My dirt work is done for the year. I did track in what I could on that road. Next video on that will show what I was able to do. I do plan to do the corduroy road (on a different woodlot) this winter. Hoping to freeze it in this winter then cover with dirt next summer.
@@timberterra Yes track the corduroyed wood right down into the mud it will help hold it in place. Good luck. We have the same here about 8" of snow and cold its 25* today with 20mph winds. I went out yesterday and tracked down my main twitch road so it could freeze up a little better.
I've had better, but this worked out OK. The last segment of this work (next week) has some better material. Or maybe more material, not really better.

Looks awesome , I didn't think that it would produce good gravel / rocks and it did .

Morning , I was waiting on ya today since I got up at 4
