I use it also, as it is comparatively inexpensive, but the problem is you can't use it on hills where the flow of water is several ft/sec as it washes out. it is good for flat surfaces where the water can run off slow. I need to order another 33 ton load, but it has been really wet and I hate paying for water.
Unfortunately living on the Coastal Plain, there are no rocks here, and no rocks here, no gravel. So everything has to get trucked in from further West.
So a 12-14 ton small dump load of crusher run here is $410 delivered.
While sand at $110 a load is amazingly cheap. Lots of sand here and
everything is very flat so crusher run works marvelously. After I had everything down as nice as I could get it, I rolled mine with a 1200 pound water roller.
Nothing like a professional roller but it helped a little. Then after the first rain and it dried out, real feeling of permanence. Like you did it once and it's going to last a long time.
Big heavy trucks go over it and it doesn't move much at all.
spent several hours on my JD X750 with its comfortable Michigan seat doing some roadside mowing and then my fruit orchard. Lot of crickets
jumped on me, hate that feeling on bare legs. Sure do hop around trying to get them off you. Next time I'll go back to mowing with the cab Kubota; this was a little too much
wildlife for me. But I had just sharpened the blades on the JD so it was worth the bugs to leave an extra nice cut this time. I was headed that way anyway with the mower to do a farmer neighbor's front lawn just helping him out
. At least two feet tall in spots, but i worked the pile of thatch back to one side each time so that lawn actually looked pretty good under
all the vegetation. I mow it for him about once a month, his mower died and he has zero money to buy a new one.
Of course I really beat up the sharp blades but that's what a grinder is for.
very hot weather coming in, not going to be much seat time in that unless I can find something to do in the a/c Kubota.
