Do any of you guys repair drive ways? I am seriously considering buying some equipment and giving it a try.

What do you use to haul? What kind of equipment you got to level them?

I am thinking hard about a small tractor, front loader, box blade, possibly small dump truck.

That is a lot of money! Start small and once it kicks up get a Kubota or something of that sort with a loader and digger in the back. Then, get a trailer with dump box to haul a couple yards. What truck do you have?

The company I work with sells driveway gravel $27 a ton. For delivery its a min of $140 and I can usually get the sand and gravel in the same truck and have plenty.

I have a Dodge 2500 with a Cummins and 6 spd standard shift.

I am hunting about a 10' dump trailer or possibly a 1 Ton dump truck.

I already have some work if I can get some equipment.

I need something like a 20+hp Kubota or other tractor. Front end loader, box blade, disc, bush hog, and a seeder.

Drive ways, hunting clubs, and much other work normally available for those tractors.

There are several operations locally here that sell drive way gravel. Probably $8 to $10 a yard.

I haven't but I do fences and siding repairs. Concrete work doesn't seem all that simple. I have customers that I wish would do repairs to their driveways and sidewalks. I'm tired of mowing them
