hahahah)

My Ford 4000 has a front bucket and rear blade ( on the 3
point hitch ) . The rear blade is easier on a stone
driveway, but hard on the neck.

Our driveway is sand and clay with an aggragate laod of gravel on
top that we replace every few years because they go downhill and get
donated to the county...we didn't get a back blade...front blade
worked just fine and never had any problems...once in a while I put
the drag on and drag the drive flatter..

That Kubota (4wd, locking differentials and independent

That's not what I used for commercial plowing though.

snow and ice?

Amen!

Clay, sandy, brwn, some gravels, trace silt.
Aggregate cap of 0.2m of crushed 15mm minus. The fractured face count of
over 90% ensures a lock.

aHEM.....I Believe you stated plainly that "And if you knew anything about
driving you might know that a plowed street can be worse than unplowed."

You actually think that stopping
distances are shorter on ice and packed snow from a plow?!!!


Stopping distances are a function of mass, inertia and friction surface. Now
that this is explained... let's delve further.... powder snow does not
provide friction of any sort..... nor does it radically impede forward
progress unless it exceeds your ground clearance. Windrowing of snow to the
sides of the tire will impede directional stability.... this results in loss
of control. It is not a condition imposed by friction.

Again..... slow your vehicle to maintain an adequate friction circle to
each tire and minimize momentum to existing conditions. No plowed road shows
glare ice under snow. Even minimal compacted snow surface will provide
traction. Traction is control.

Hope that was easy enough to understand for you.

Actually, the wettest stuff was at ground level, of course. So as long as I
kept it a few inches off the ground it threw nicely. After topping it, I
dropped to surface level and it just wouldn't do it, got all clogged up.

I was busy getting my John Deere fitted with a 42" snow thrower. I have a
lot to clear (no pun intended). Anyway, the pros at John Deere prepped
the tractor for the thrower when I bought it, but I'm guessing they never
read the instructions because they prepped it for an electric PTO; mine
is mechanical, and they knew that. Well, the thrower still fit, but I
didn't like how things looked, belts too tight, etc., so I dug out the
original manual and there it was. I remounted all the brackets and
shoulder bolts and so on, and she fired right. I hit the 15" of wet
spring snow and she plugged up like a fat man on a cheese diet.

There was no back pedal in any statement I made Bobsprit. Loss of control is
higher in an unplowed road than a plowed road.... it's a simple fact.
Scotty's truck has a huge amount of traction due to a combination of area
and number of friction circles provided by the tires. If you combine this
with the weight of the tractor and load.... then add the multiple gear
options... it has a much larger margin before loss of control becomes an
issue.

Now Bobsprit... when it comes to a frictionless surface like glare ice....
I don't care if your "Tribeca" has 30" wheels and 8 wheel drive.... or a
14" layer of powder overlying it.... you ain't goin' nowhere if you don't
have friction=traction.

Understand? ... now run along and stop telling people that unplowed streets
are safer than plowed streets okay?

Glare ice? Upon losing this argument Mooron will next suggest that the

Desperate times for Mooron.


So now you believe that oil and water form "Glare Ice"???? Hoo Bouy!

looking
to do another 200
tons over the summer - when my boys are home to help

: )
I've got a good bit of macadam as well. Eventually

I'd
like to put macadam
on the stone, but in the meantime, it beats parking
vehicles in the mud.

Isn't it amazing how quickly 20 T of stone can

disappear?

Amen! the 2A makes a helluva nice base though.
Scout



Do you have different quarries to choose from? There are

3
in my area, and the one has a better 2A than the other 2

..
It's a finer crush with more ''powder'' mixed in. Packs

down
like concrete when new.
BTW, I've got big styff, #3 or #4, for a base.


got mine from Martin

I can give the 3 or 4 a try - got plenty of places to put

it
Scout



it's harder to spread it around.
