I have talked many times about how much I use the boxblade bulldozing in reverse and how useful the hydraulic side links are when wanting to
cut a tilted or banked road. That is also why I built up my drag links so I wouldn't bend them into pretzels (again

)
Here is a good view of the size
cut and shaping you can do using this method. I had to
cut several areas through hard decomposed granite and the cuts looked like they were through marble. It was really awesome to see the result.
This next one really shows how you can bank the road. The tractor then follows the contour of the
cut. It is true and clean.
After cutting the service road, I took all that dirt and DG (decomposed granite) to an area where I could layer, water and compact it for the barn pad.
