I have one and love it. It is rated as a large compact utility tractor [LCUT] with the 430 model loader and I believe you have the stronger of the 2 loaders available. Take your time with it and let the machine due the work and don't lend it out like I have made the mistake of doing so.
I was only joking, I love dogs grew up with them and so did my kids but even with the flee and tic collars the dogs would bring them into the house. I would love to have another lab and shepherd mix some day but not now.🐶
The only truck stop I know is P&H up on 91 and 302, that's the exit I take to go to camp but I have not eaten there since covid though I will gas up, but man you get a full plate and good eating.
I used stone like you did and added stay mat or stone dust on top to lock everything together, otherwise it was like walking on marbles. A plate compacter as deezler said works great. Looks nice.
