- A big thank you to my brother for letting me use his Kubota L39 for my driveway project!
I moved 29 loads of dirt with a Kubota L39 and my 1988 Chevy R30 dump truck to extend my driveway closer to my house. I put a load of gravel on the new section of driveway.

Nothing beats having your own equipment for your property ! Saves you allot of $$$$$$ for projects on your property , I own a 1999 1 ton Chevrolet C3500 dually with a Heil dump bed , & a 5.7 with a auto. trans. it has been very reliable along with my two tractors 1959 M-F 50 gasoline , & a 2018 M-F 1526 diesel with a fel , & I live close to a quarry along with places to get all types of soil that I need , & pick it up with my truck ! Which saves allot on not having it delivered. You still did a very nice job ! Thanks for the video.
I just got my seat reupholstered in my 1988 Chevy R30 flatbed I told you about earlier. love the video and keep up the great work.
Thank you!
YOUNG MAN ,
U NEED D - BALLAST STONE OR ROCK
My R30 dump has a 12' bed.
It can haul around 8000lbs of dirt or rock. Probably about the same as yours, but the bigger bed is great for demolition on my construction jobs.
The truck pulls my 20' trailer with takeuchi mini-ex or 28hp mahindra with front loader great.
I want to get a skid steer next.
I’m planning on working on this dump truck and making some more videos about it. I want to go to a quarry near me and pick up loads of gravel for my driveway. I have wondered how much I can haul in it. Also, I want to be able to tow my brothers Kubota L39 on his 20’ equipment trailer. That’s 9k - 10k lbs including the trailer.
Thank you for showing the process. How many acres do you have ? Property is looking great
We have 10 acres. Thank you for the compliment. We still have a lot of work to do!
Awesome work man….you should check out Stanley the dirt monkeys channel….he uses a mesh in layers to stabilize and reinforce the ground….
YOUNG MAN ,
U CAN USE LOADER BUCKET GRADE EASY AS PIE / LOAD THE BUCKET UP EITH DIRT LEAVE THE DIRT / BACK DRAG WITH BACK OF THE BUCKET , AFTER U GET EVERY THING DONE THEN GO HEAD DUMP YOUR DIRT OUT OF YOUR BUCKET
I tagged my r30 for 16000lbs. Gross weight. It costs $300 a year for taxes at that weight here in NC. The truck is 7500 lbs. by itself.
These trucks are great, they really take a beating and will last forever with normal maintenance. I've spent a lot to get mine super reliable.
New alternator, clutch, front and rear brakes, hydrobooster, water pump, tires, and I resealed the pto and hydraulic pump. Then wired it for trailer brakes and so far in 3 years I've put 8000 miles on it and it pays for itself. I don't have to load and unload anymore. I can load it, then just dump and leave the landfill, then bill for my time and expenses.
You'll get there, just know that buying cheap and fixing it means you know what has been done. You're not buying some ticking time bomb.
I plan on working my way through it one part at a time to get it reliable and safe. I just need the time to do it.
how many tons can you carry?
I just noticed how busy is your street how close are you from the city ?
YOUNG MAN , JUST TAKE TIME FOR THE HAY SEEDED / MIGHT TAKE 6 MONTHS TO SEEDED
Your battery probably is just bad.
I do think the battery needs to be replaced. I will buy one eventuality when I start driving the dump truck on the road. Maybe in the next few months.
