Road plannings

[Julian]

I've discovered that leaving them in a heap for two years causes them to set hard My little Mitsubishi 2 ton digger struggles to get a bucket full of the stuff, it does but requires much playing with the levers and the thing tends to pull itself over the ground.

After I've loaded the dumper and moved the plannings to where I want them the digger bucket goes straight through them like they weren't there! I take it this is normal for road plannings?

you realy need to use straight away if it gets warm it sets great stuff for a yard but needs to be leveled straight away

Thats normal Julian ............look on the brightside tho', once the road is down it lasts! (much better than type 1 and half the cost!!!)

i know of a man who stockpiled around a 1000 ton ,pushing it up with his teleporter
i used to have to go round with the 4cx and scrape a load out with the foot bucket it had packed so hard from him driving on it while pushing it up

When using them for the yard or roadways, spread, spray a bit of diesel over them and roll - gives a good durable surface.

Yep, I've tried that before but used 28 seconds paraffin as I was a bit low on Diesel! These days with most of the work done I'm more into a patching and repairing process and creating 'hard' areas just inside field gateways so the effing horses don't churn it all up.

It is good stuff and the last full 8 wheeler load I got was costing about £100 in notes I guess that's an OK price?
