    I always like seeing the grader going, brings back old memories of when the grader would come by our house! No more gravel roads around here anymore, everything is blacktop now!

      In the last video, someone commented about listening for when the stone just starts to move, which is about when you crack open the tailgate. BTW I'm guessing you made you made this comment before the end of the video, because the last two loads did have the camera on the bed.
