I check in here most days. Things should pick up a little with members doing winter projects in their heated shops, something I don't have.......o_O
Doing leaves and getting tractors ready for winter plowing.
I would think filling with water would be the way to go. I take it you are going to cut it with a cut off blade in a grinder rather than a torch......lol
Rural on 1 1/2 acres. It's in a tiny hamlet, no store or anything. About 4 miles to town. I grew up and spent most of my life in a medium sized town 1/2 hr from Canada's largest city.....I much prefer rural.
Nice work adding the hydraulics. I built my own bucket from scratch, am still using the winch and trip dump. Would love to convert to hydraulics one day.
I am doing about the same as you right now with the gravel.....lol
I use an old set of harrows that I found to smooth my driveway.The spikes leave little grooves in the driveway..... I am planning on welding something flat on the top side and flip it over when I want to really flatten the driveway.
