- Owning the dirt road that leads to your home and ranch means keeping it maintained after wet winter storms. Potholes are a natural by-product of the heavy wet snows here in Colorado on dirt roads ... come with Todd as he shows you how he does maintenance and repairs on our dirt road!

Rewatched, great video and content! Liked Shared and Subscribed, love leveler and driveway work!
Love the land leveler! So smooth and easy to use.
This is absolutely the best with the attachments you are using. And I love the skid steer usage!
Great video just bought a newholland skidsteer must make a leveller same as yours I also have a dirt road to my house In Ireland there called borreens
Doesn’t look like it did much…are you happy with the purchase? Would you recommend this or something different? Not for new roads but for maintenance
I can almost bet that it was only a few weeks and the holes were back in the same spot .
2-3 months give or take, I've also had the road regraded / crowned about once a year, this is just minor maintenance in between those more major ones. Learning as I go!
@@ToddGiles the real problem at hand is wherever water sits it is able to with help from cars separate the different size and well segregated aggregate.simply put large and small pieces of sand bind together better then pieces of like size .when the cars drive thu the water that’s splashed first pulls the fines out then the bigger pieces are move and u now have a pothole .the only way to overcome a pothole is to use rippers down to the depth of the pothole and re segregate the aggregate over a large area .I see all the time people just put dirt in the holes to have it gone in a few weeks . I hope this helps .
@@tigg567 thanks for the advice, I've pretty much learned as much through my experience, the teeth on my leveller attachment do go down 6 inches and do a decent job of re mixing everything if I time it right (i.e. when it's still sightly damp but not muddy, not too dry and solid). Needed the larger tractor to really fix things up well, and yes, just adding material without remixing it with the existing material doesn't work at all!
