22.5 tons? Impressive. :seasix:

I assume it was all delivered on that wagon, like other folks might do.

Damn Doug, that's an ass of work :eek:

I'm hoping they spread it for you with a dump body as they dropped it.

Hey, cut him some slack. It's tough when you have a reputation to maintain.



Wait...that's not what is reputation is all about. :leaving:

[Sea Six]

Very nice, indeed

[DAB]

most was spread by the truck, but the area shown, in front of the garage (i'm standing in the doorway of the garage), he had to pull forward, back up, and then pull forward again....all while dumping gravel, so some areas were about 6" thick. that i had to spread out either by using the rake, or shoveling some into a bucket and carrying it to the edges. most areas are about 2" thick.

area in front of the garage....about 50' wide, about 30' deep. the driveways are about 12 wide in most places.

I prefer to think they dumped a 22.5 ton pile right in the middle and tossed him the rake.

I'm also in eastern PA and traded the 122 ( with the blade ) for another 125 (like the one with the rear mounted tiller ) with hydraulic lift :hurray:

It does nice work too

have a little JD lawn tractor and a grading attachment i can pull with it, but the gravel is so loose, that i get no traction if i try to move more than a few handfuls of gravel with it, so had to park that and get the rake. grading attachment works great on dirt, but no so much on gravel. not looking forward to smoothing out the rest of the driveway (about 300 feet) and moving gravel from the center towards the edges. think i'll play in my shop today. :DAB:

pre-gravel from about 2 years ago. :willy:
