That's true! I would have liked to have quoted a complete re-work of this drive including ripping & re-grading with my skid steer, but they only wanted a load of gravel for now to save money. Maybe something will come in the spring! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, all that organic matter, leaves cones etc, should have been swept or raked off that driveway first. Could've told the customers they might have done it themselves. Don't think i would have posted this video-

What size dump trailer you using and how many tons was used in the first property. I had a ole c60 dump truck but sold it to get another dump trailer. I’m thinking about a 7x12 dump
Hey there, it is a 7'x14' trailer. I haul 5 tons. A 7x12 would probably hold the same amount, just mounded higher. Make sure you get 2-7k lb axles. Some of the 7x12's have only 5k axles.
@@ss454gm how is the tailgate spreading latch on yours? Are you able to pop it open with a rope when it's tilted a bit? Or do you have to pull pins like me?
Hey Philip thanks for the comment! It depends on different types of rock. I count the # of chain links for different types. For the rock i mainly haul, KY #57's, I set it on the 10th link, which opens my gate about 3.5" at the bottom. For smaller clean rock, KY 67's, I use 9 links, which is about an inch shorter. Speed wise, i'm moving along at a fast walking pace. Spreading well graded material with rock & fines like Dense Grade or IN 53's, you have to open the gate more, like 12 links, and drive really fast. If the gate is shut too close, the fines and rock pack in there and nothing comes out. But when its open that wide you gotta be moving fast.
Hey mike! The trailer came with a cord that was long enough to reach the drivers seat if you had your arm out the window. I installed a wireless remote setup and that's the only way to go! So yes it is a one man show. Thanks for the comment!
Was looking to get into junk removal but there's too many restrictions I'm in New Jersey where is the best places to look for wholesale prices on gravel sand stone mulch exc??
@@featheredcoyote5477 I wired up a cheap winch controller to mine. You’d need to use either relays or diodes (I used diodes) so one way you trip the up solenoid and the motor relay, and the other way trips the down valve and the motor relay.
Hey there, I don't have anything against using clean stone for base under concrete slabs. I see it done a lot. Just make sure you have good drainage away from the slab. That clean stone allows water to travel through it and could lift when freezing. So just make sure to have a drain around the pad or slope dirt away from the pad.
Just found your channel where is the best place to find pricing and by wholesale products of stone gravel mulch exc?? Any info would be very helpfull good luck
I would just google search your city and state with the word "quarry". If that doesn't find it, call a local redimix plant or supplier and ask where they get their stone from.
Well ain’t that amazing. Another Daviess county guy. I’ve always used equipment and Never tried to spread gravel with the trailer so I had to see how much harder it was than a dump truck.
Yea it's not bad, just need a little practice and figure out where to set your chains. Let me know if you ever need a hand on some jobs around town. I have two excavators, a track loader and a small backhoe as well. Daviess county tractor & hauling llc

Yea mine is the 7x12 with 7k axles I’ve been doing 5-6 tons so far no problems

I got to pull a pin if I want to use the speader. Half the time I just dump and go.
Could you tell me about where you set your metering chains and your travel speed when your tailgating stone

Well that works great. Does the remote for the dump trailer reach the cab? Just wondering if one person can dump and drive at the same time.

@@NealORussa Wireless remote...is that universal for most all dump trailer's? Great video!

How many tons where each load?
That dump trailer hauls 5-6 tons.
What truck are you using for this?
Glad you asked! It's a 2007 Silverado 3500 classic. Crew cab, long bed, single rear wheel with the 6.6 lbz Duramax and Allison 6sp auto trans.
Mazda heavy duty

3 yards each load?
@@texanstreeservice9188 that trailer usually hauls 5-5.5 tons. Which depending on material type and compaction effort would be 3-5 cubic yards.

She sound good
The truck that is
Thanks! It's a pretty much stock Duramax lbz with a straight pipe. Almost 200k miles on it now.
