...due to a shortage of tractors.

Good work with the little beast. I like your material stock piles. With those and your tractor you can do wonders on a gravel road.

Nice to see a B hard at work!
Really like that tri-ax, too.
I could really use one of those around here.

Thanks. That's what's nice when they do a highway job 10 minutes from your house. That's the gravel that was dug out after they stripped the asphalt so it is a lot of 7/8 crushed gravel mixed with pit run. So I hauled ten loads home.

I used to have a fill pit up my back yard (it's now a pine plantation) and it was all loamy sand that the roads were made on. The hills are pretty steep and there isn't proper ditching or crown yet, so the gravel will be nice to build it up. Eventually I'll get it all done with the B. it's just fun for me, so I don't bother floating the big backhoe out here from the yard in town.

Baby Grand, the truck is a 2013 Western Star 4900 with a DD15 Detroit Diesel, pony trailer is an old Raglan. It's pretty dirty as the roads are still all gravel out here and they are watering them daily.

It appears that your side mirrors are still in place. Good for you. Working like you do, I'd expect them to be knocked off by now.:thumbsup:

Haha, no I'm pretty careful. I fold them in when I'm in the bush too. They held up pretty good for the price. Still nice and tight and don't vibrate.
