Box Scraper How do you crush rock a New Road?

   / How do you crush rock a New Road? #21  
Hi I need to build a road (driveway) down to the lower half of my property. I have a Mahindra 1815 4WS HST W/box Scraper and Front Loader. I know how to split the differance of high/low with the box scraper, but what is the process to lay down new chip rock over dirt? It will be in a dumped pile. ANY HELP will be appreciated as I have never even sat on a Tractor till I bought this one (did'nt know what I was missin).
Pat:laughing:

You really need at least a 6" minus base. In other words, rocks at least 6" in size, and to a depth of around 4". Top that with decomposed granite, topped with your chip rock, and finish with the vibratory compactor. Without the larger base rock, you will soon wonder what happened to your chip rock.

I think your method might be the cheapest way to go and the tractoring expearance will be good for me too. Everyone was very helpful. This site is great.
