I used a 30" scoop behind a JD2555 to dig a ditch in sandy soil next to a road my sister in law owns. The people living on the road just used that ditch to drive in since it was smoother. I finished the last half of the ditch making erratic lumps and bumps in the ditch by varying the depth. Before I finished it on the third day, some of them were using shovels to fill in the ditch, saying I took the best part of the road and made it a ditch. I told them the next step was to put posts up (to keep them off the shoulder encroaching on mother in laws property) and one of them told me he would hook his 4x4 up to them and drag them into my yard and drop them. I told him if I caught him, I would shoot him for trespassing. That didn't go over well with the rest of the neighbors. At that point, I simply quit grading the road with my tractor and now all it gets is an occasional piece of chain link behind a 4x4 F350. They did quit driving in the ditch because someone put nail strips in it (not me!). Got to love people when you are doing something for them for free.
