Dude that bridge is awesome....

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I am so happy with how it turned out.

[@dennisfahlstrom2515]

The bridge is a nice addition to the front yard. You could have got a half a load of fine gravel - the kind used on driveways (with rock dust) and made yourself a smooth walkway over that 3” rock using the tractor to spread it. This could have been done in under an hour by one person at a cheaper cost without changing the drainage. But that bridge does look better.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. We are extremely excited about how it turned out.

[@Tapthatsugershack]

[@da1shark]

I agree with Tony, most of the country bridges in Oklahoma where I grew up had those boards on the bridge (for the tires). One lane bridge and you had to be sure you were lined up when crossing.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I grew up with these bridges all over. They were prevalent until the late 1980s on the back country gravel roads.

You two did a fantastic job on that bridge. That bridge is very stout. You could land a 747 on that bridge it's so strong. Love your videos. I was really impressed with your nail gun. My DeWalt framing gun struggles with oak, often bending the nail.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Hey brother. This was a fun but necessary project. I love how it turned out. We are cutting up more Oak today for the next project.

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Another great looking project, well done!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. We are trying to make everything we build duel purpose. The bridge ended up with three or four purposes.

[@pixieridgefarms]

Definitely need the path boards on the top... ~30 years ago, I dropped the front end of the tractor through a bridge board when I was first learning to drive a tractor. Fortunately, I wasn't in the middle of the bridge when I drove off the path. *pucker moment* Bridge looks good, should last a long time.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I really like how it turned out.

[@Devaultfl]

That looks amazing..... The function is what it is there for but Tanja sure gave it an incredible curb appeal. Kuddos to you two on the production and editing as well, as everything was put together really well for this video. Looking forward to the next project. Have a great day, and God Bless. BTW, congrats on breaking 60K

[@josephburkhalter5105]

You have beautiful equipment, tractors, grapples, impact drivers , chainsaw chaps, ear muffs, eye protection. You have it all. Opps where is the chain sawing safety equipment? For both you and your lovely wife. She does have her own equipment doesn’t she?. I never had any either. Until, that is, on topping out a little Oak tree about 12 ft. Off the ground. I came down off the ladder wearing my brand new Eddie Bauer 60/40 jacket with a brand new big slash across the groin area. I never knew when my saw attacked my jacket. Never felt any pulling of fabric. My boss standing abd watching asked….”WHEN DID YOU CUT YOUR JACKET? “. I answered. What????. I never knew when the saw hit my jacket. The next time you see an EMT ask him how long do you have to live with that big artery spouting blood. I asked an EMT buddy of mine how long. He said he did not know. “ The idiots not wearing chaps were always dead before they got there”. Yes I have chaps and all the other safety equipment that goes with chain sawing. Only about $120 for the complete outfit. Let your wife read this comment and watch her go pale. The safety kit will be next on your “ must have present from your wife. And if you don’t have the kit, you may have a brand new life insurance policy for about 1 million. Now go back up and read this warning again. Safety kits are very cheap when you compare them to Divorce settlements”. And your lawyer will ask. “So she kicked you out for being STUPID ?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I think it turned out really well. Tanja is very talented.

[@dennisfahlstrom2515]

Great job. My only different thing would have been to put grass seed on the ramps instead of mulch. Did you remember to sand or smooth with a router those raw edges on the inside of the seating areas?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. Tanja sanded all the edges. I think we are going to keep a mulch road to the greenhouse house area for now. Time will tell.

Hey guys ,great job.Thatll more than hold even the 474 and all small equipment.Back when I worked with the county we always used runners like you did.Was really impressed with the circular saw and how well it cut that red oak.was it a Hercules,I know you use there equipment some.anyway great Job and the video work was perfect.nice drone shots .much love from .

I used two bags per post. I like to fill the post hole to the very top. Fast2K adheres to the wood making it waterproof. I can expect this to last the rest of my life. If I had of used concrete, the post would rot off in just a few years. Post treatment is not what it use to be just 4 years ago.

Are you sure the bridge is wide enough for all the tractor implements??? If it is so okay but are the benches going to get hit if the tractor is not in the absolute center of the bridge??? I think you should have (been another 2 to 4 feet wider) used all the length of the red oak boards!!!! Tanya says, "Lunch/ coffee break on the bridge!!!"

It is just for the small tractor. I think it is perfect for our needs. If not, I will drive over the rocks.

Maybe. It is an odd name but it works good. I think it will be very useful on the farm.

[@josephburkhalter5105]

Incidentally……your wifey was right, the bridge looks half finished with the deck ends not trimmed even. When your guests ask why the boards never got trimmed tell them your battery died on the saw and the wife said it looked great that way. When that happens, let me know what your room number is at the hospital. I’ll send flowers. Joe B
