Here's another driveway regraded and topped using the landplane. I also cut better drainage heading toward the front yard from the concrete apron. I also re-graded the neighbor's driveway while I waited for my load of rock.


I spied a nice collection of JD's while leaving the job.

Nice pics and really neat work. I'm always impressed how much you do with your New Holland. How many hours on it now?! And what model is it?

Thank you for taking the time to post pics. They are great!

Thanks! My TC35D is hovering around the 3000 hr. mark right now. It's had a few hiccups along the way, but most were from using it for commercial work that it was never designed for. It's been a real money maker for me and my family.

That's an impressive amount of hours for all loader work! Thanks for the info!

It's been a "try to beat the rain" spring for sure.

On this project I graded out a few triaxle loads of fill dirt to build a horse trailer parking area and widened the driveway, then spread out a few loads of gravel. Since everyone and his brother was trying to beat the rain (including me), trucks were spread pretty thin. My regular driver's blue Peterbilt broke a trans, so they spent all day getting this International roadworthy. My first loads showed up at 4PM. I finished at 9PM...and it didn't rain until the next evening. The uploader loaded the photos in reverse order...so enjoy! :thumbsup:

After getting 3" of rain Saturday night I started on the mudbog today. This job is right behind the campground I mulched and built last summer. It's at the lowest elevation in the neighborhood. A tree company processes all of their firewood here and at somewhere along the line they thought that a wood chip driveway to the back would be a good idea. The uploader loaded the photos in random order this time....... :confused2:

You do some of the finest work my friend!

Thanks Murph! I appreciate it.

My back started acting up today so I barely squeezed out 7 hrs in the CTL before I had to call it quits. My wife rubbed it out with some Two Old Goats lotion and it does feel a bit better. I swear I heard a little girl scream at some point......

Nice work as usual...try a hot tub (plus the massage) for the back...!

I get back pain every now and then and found that laying on the floor, curling my head into my knees and rocking back and forth works the best for me. I also enjoy my hot tub, but that's more for overall comfort and relaxing.

When its muddy, do you add more rock?
