    Well done! I built roads all over my place with my HF trencher. On those steep hills I would put ditches on each side for runoff. It will help keep center of road from washing out. Keep up the good work!

    that's an ambitious project... don't know your average rainfall there but a uphill driveway is always a constant challenge when it comes to erosion ... maybe allow for enough room in your cut for some drainage ditches .and maybe some gentler side slopes... maybe at least 6 inches of 2 inch clean rock for a base then another 6 inch of 1 inch gravel with fines on top of that.... use those bigger stones in your drain ditches and that should help in your maintenance...

      Yeah it’s definitely going to need drainage ditches and i expect it’ll need maintenance just like the rest of my driveway. Its all uphill already so this isn’t a new theme

    You seem to be really getting the hang of the new backhoe. It seems to make the digging a lot easier for you now. New road looking good. It will be nice when finished.

    Excellent. That is going to solve your turn around problems, well unless it's real muddy. A tractor with a box blade, root/rock rake, bucket, mower and backhoe would take care of pretty much everything. You're doing a great job.

      Once it’s completely dug out I’m going to have another big load of gravel delivered And gravel it all. Yeah i’d love to have a subcompact tractor with all of the attachments someday

    Sure beats a shovel and wheelbarrow. I hope you got the wall backfilled while you had the tractor. You mentioned it at the beginning but didn't show it at the end. Some may complain about the slower progress with smaller equipment, but lordy, they still save the wear and tear on your body. Projects like that don't need to be done on a time schedule. Steady progress is what counts.🤠👍

    Curious cat here...so I see cars in the background when you are talking like at 2:11 and other times. Is that part of the highway that goes past the front of the house? Or in front of the storage place I mean? Do you have access to get out of your property back there? When you make your driveway can you get out that way?

    • @SagebrushRambles

    Why not drop the mower and get it out of the way? It has a 3 pt hydraulic hitch so it would be easy to disconnect, that would allow you to get up on top and push downhill with the bucket. Just a thought but I know you're a thinking kind of guy so maybe that idea won't work...
