That looks pretty fun. Nice job. Definitely put in some water bars or culverts to keep heavy rains from washing that fine work.

Great looking job your doing there. Did you do all of that work cutting the roads with your tractor? Not an easy task on those NC slopes.

Great job!!!

A friend told me he could cut a road into the side of a hill faster with a backhoe then a dozer. I've never done either, but have always wanted to give it a try.

The first thing I thought when I saw your post was about drainage. For me, it's my biggest concern. Are you going to ditch the inside and use culverts to get it out, or slope the surface?

I havent decided about drainage at this point. I suppose I will slope the roads and see how that does. I was really nervous at first doing the road but man it was fun to see it take shape. I am really nervous about some down hill stuff I got to do. I have had the little backhoe for 2 years and just now got to do what I really bought it for. Its very exciting! I guess as long as I am nervous It will make me be careful.

Yes, I did all the work on this NC mountain slope with the little kubota B20. The only thing I did with the TC33 was run the pulveriser over the finished road to smooth it out.

sherpa, That's quite an undertaking ,It is looking Good! Probably gets to be more fun as you see it taking shape.

What kind of road is it ? Logging ,trail ,or just access to property ? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
