16 tons...I interpret "road rock" as peastone or gravel...a ton will cover 50 square feet 4 inches deep. how much area are you filling? I have been using my JD 4210 to dig out a hard pack clay hill out back, building up the north end of my barn to make an incline to park my tractor inside after I install a door. I love moving fill, much more so than mowing.

sorry guys I'm still in the stone age here with dial up,not my choice.have tried to post pics. but no go.when I say road rock its got the limestone powder mixed in.It packs down hard when compressed.I got it done yesterday,used approx 8 tons and spread the rest in my drive.I popped a front tire on my Yanmar .I made the mistake of buying Chinese tires which were a waste of money.I put the old Bridgestones back on and they handeled the FEL with the rock.Moved my grasshopper into it's new home today. life is great. russ

Gosh Russ I completely forgot about your dial up ... I do remember those days.

Limestone makes a wonderful base but I try to cover it with a less dusty harder rock... :smile:KennyV

You made me think of Tennessee Ernie Ford -- 16 tons -- and all that coal. I can hear him singing now. Good luck on your project; it sounds like a whopper!

Way to go, Kenny! I love that song myself. Unfortunately for me however what I get is another day older and deeper in debt! LOL Wow, like Driller, that song is now running through my head.
