I just got done moving 14 yards of stone with my tractor, came in sat down at the computer and saw your video. Nicely done Ed..

[@watershedoverlook]

OK, I'm jealous. Love the instant gratification you get when spreading gravel. The place is looking great, Ed. 👍

[@MyClutteredGarage]

It’s like a fresh coat of paint, Chris! Thank you!

[@randyelkins9123]

A day on the tractor spreading stone is always a good day for me... You did a good job, and I agree that the land plane would have worked even better than the box blade...

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I enjoy getting fresh gravel to spread. Nice work, Ed!

[@whenworkisplay]

Good morning Ed, there is something really satisfying about spreading new gravel. Take care, Ben

[@MyClutteredGarage]

You got that right! Thanks Ben!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Day Ed, 20 tones of Tractor Therapy Time My Friend 👍😇👌💪 and that make OUTSTANDING videos 😇👌👍 Yes back dragging on the float position is THE best 👍👌😇 Have a nice Week End Sir Cheers 😇👌👍🍻

Thank you, David!

One of the first things I did when I bought my B2601 was to order 40 tons of gravel for about 400 feet of driveway. I had never used a tractor before. I was shocked at how fast I got that rock spread around.

[@margaretmatthews511]

I appreciate all your shots and it reminds me of a coloring book page coloring spreading all the stones.

[@jjacres129]

Nothing beats the look of a fresh done driveway nice job ED

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Great job!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Chad!

[@jamesyates5191]

I have both a land plane and box blade plus landscape rake. It’s fun to play (work?) on a long driveway. Good work Ed.

[@bryangriffin2093]

Any excuse to get on the tractor is a good one. Really good video. I especially liked the drone shot. Keep up the good work Ed.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

You’re right! Thanks very much.

[@johnmasker3581]

You’re darn good at this!!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you!

[@GPOutdoors]

Great job Ed! Loved the aerial views. You got the sprinkle down like a pro. Cheers!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Gord!

[@madtater5948]

that job came out nice probably wouldn't hurt to have a couple more loads

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Great job spreading the gravel, you were doing that like a pro and it looks great

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Joseph!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Excellent video! Love the camera angles, drone shots, music, and your editing! Excellent job. Looking forward to big things.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Ross! Stay tuned!

[@margaretmatthews511]

Is that a clue, Ross?

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@margaretmatthews511 I guess we have to Stay Tuned! 😆

[@richardzicarelli3193]

Great job! I wish I was as proficient as you. I bought a used 2013 B2650. It is in decent shape, and I’m trying to learn how to properly use the loader. I have watched your videos showing the tips on using the loader properly and it has helped a lot. Thank you

[@MyClutteredGarage]

It's all practice. Have fun and be safe! Thank you! -Ed

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Good work! Doing the same thing at Piney Grove today! Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Very nice Brad! It may be hotter here than Florida today! 🥵

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

@@MyClutteredGarage 110 heat index. So hot, but at least it was humid! Got it all spread and ready for the next layer.

[@margaretmatthews511]

Good morning! It looks great!!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Margaret!

[@keegantimber8571]

Great work and Great video Ed! 👍👍👍. Thumbs up everyone 👍👍👍

[@boomerau]

Only use stone now for wet grass areas. Did the driveaway a decade ago with rotamill and almost ready to patch it. Considering it is down hill and usually everything washes out it isn't bad.

[@jarretolsen2771]

So excited to get my 2601 next week! Great video! Looking forward to spreading gravel with that instead of a shovel and wheel barrow lol

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nice! Congratulations!

[@jarretolsen2771]

@@MyClutteredGarage thanks!

[@terryk3118]

Nice bucket work! You look almost as good as Mike Morgan!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

That is some nice, clean looking stone Ed. Nice shots from the drone. This is the kind of work where the hydrostatic shines. Almost looks like you have been taking lessons from Mike Morgan on spreading rock. Mike holds a black belt in spreading stone. Well done Ed. Planning on hauling milk Monday and it will most likely be a late day so I may not make the live stream.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I could use a lesson from Mike!

[@ticklemeorange8328]

Nicely done, I wish I could evenly drop gravel the way you did. Have a great weekend.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Practice practice practice! Thank you!

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

I just spread 4 yards of 5/8 minus on a water-membrane for a 10x20 barn roof shed and that was a real workout using a rake. Later I grabbed my hand dolly and flipped it so the blade would spread the gravel and that helped speed things up and not be so hard to do.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Wow!

[@watkinstreefarm6880]

Driveway looks great and congrats on 30K subs!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Jeff!

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

Looks good. I have been getting 40 tons at a time and some times 80 tons. When my contractor is not around I spread it with my Bx25. 😊 Does the job.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Wow! Big job!

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Beautiful place you have and love that tractor.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you!

[@pacoal]

Looks pretty darn good Ed. That isn't an easy thing to do and make it look nice.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you!

[@km4fsi827]

A few weeks ago i got 44 tons to put on one of my driveways. I have a L2501DT Kubota, it is always fun to work with rock. now all of my neighbors want there driveways done. 44 tons was 950 dollars here so i hope i dont need any for a wile.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

That’s a great price! I paid about $35 per ton.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? The new stone looks some nice and you did a fine job spreading it!! Take care!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks, Mike!

[@HomesteadEngineering]

All I can say is get yourself a land plane.

[@grapefamily9311]

Could you tell me where you got the 5 gallon bucket attachment? Thanks!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi. That’s part of the Artillian ROPS tool bar system. www.artillian.com/product-category/rops-attachments/rops-mount-bar-attachments/ Here’s my install video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHJo2CeipmJqbcsi=90VgS7n8ixlxyo0g

[@TimeAfterTym]

The stone seems a little more expensive than I remember. Did you get a special type of stone? BTW Colleen says hi.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

No, just 3/4 stone. Might be because there are no local quarrys.

[@douglasstovall2395]

Thanks for sharing. Just wondering, how long did you spend spreading the gravel?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi. Probably a couple hours.

[@leedun7]

Hey Ed....curious what the 20 tons cost? I had 22 tons of crusher run delivered for about $675, one trip, though. We're down in the east panhandle of WV.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

About $750 delivered. They didn’t charge extra for 2 trips since they are nearby. Last year I paid about $300 for 10 tons.

[@gentlebear2722]

I hope you realize the truck driver Lied to you. He spread gravel when he dropped the 2nd load
