Well, i'm putting my new toys to use constructing a run-in shed for our winter pasture! We had these cool galvanized modular horse stalls in our barn and while originally we had planned to build from scratch, I found out there was a roofing kit for 'em, so being the cost concious fella I am i figure I'm gonna haul 'em out and build it that way....
First scraped out the dirt a bit and put down a few inches of fine (1/2") driveway gravel to avoid the mud season. Used the box blade here to scrape, the FEL and backwards landscape rake to spread the gravel. Raked the area by hand to level it (see laser in picture at left) and rolled it with the Quad and lawn roller, then tractor with a full bucket of gravel to finish. Packed down pretty well!
See attachment for finished grade....
So far pretty fun! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
