I often see a lot of questions on this forum about building small roads, trails, etc with a CUT so I thought I'd share my methods and pics. This first road is a connector from our main trail to another trail that goes around the top of the mountain. The original trail was steep and off-camber and wasn't suitable for anything but ATV's and tractors.
This is the site where the new road will go up and curve around to the right. The original trail is out of the picture, but off in the distance straight ahead:
Starting to dig into the bank. I always start at a level spot and work my way forward, generally working up hill if possible. Cut a bit out of the uphill side, drop it in the lower side, compact as you go:
Road starting to come along:
More to come directly...
