They brought 500 tons of this stuff!!

[@ralphwoodard609]

Starting to look good, Josh. Isn’t $1000 a day kind of overpriced for just rental on the truck? I think it would be closer to maybe $75 an hour. I would also still like to see Kyle from R&R buildings come out and build you a fantastic barn, dominium.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I’m not sure what is everybody else think?

[@dalebargen]

I’m sure the $1K included the driver! And the miles and fuel. So not a bad deal, probably on the cheaper end of the scale.

[@Birddog1983]

If he did if for less he just as well stay home. Wouldn't that be considered a tri axle, a tandem is two.

[@KPVFarmer]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, R&R makes some beautiful buildings. Although your barndominium is going to be just as sweet. In the end it’s what you want, and what works for your plans. Just Say’n 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@glennjukes5581]

Not bad at all--remember you are getting free dirt and someone to load it at the other end. 75 an hour--that truck sure wouldn't make a profit

[@maryannrichards8979]

I'm the dump truck driver. It was a pleasure to meet josh, very good guy and a pleasure to work for. Beautiful farm keep up the good work brother.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

thanks buddy!!

[@andreasherzog2222]

I love the fast forward mode. Not only that I save time watching, but it also seems to give me a better grasp of the 'big picture' :)

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers...that's called "time lapse" mode...pretty fun huh

[@kennethpearce5607]

Looks good enjoy watching the video You both done a great job

[@martinmeltzer2696]

Hey Josh! THAT was a lot of dirt to move... but it NEVER ceases to amaze me how relaxing it is to watch it being smoothed out & put where it is needed! Flashbacks to my days in the Sand Pile & Tonka Trucks! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Well Done!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks 👍

[@davidmack8813]

I'm used to dirt being talked about in yards of material, I knew a family in Texas simular they had poor soil on their ranch ; state was building roads in areas with excellent top soil they had to set grade down and freely dumped many tens of thousands of yards of soil on their entire ranch also graded it their entire property became excellent farm & ranch property no charge very awesome for their ranch.

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@ShortbusMooner]

For my love of heavy equipment, I live vicariously through Josh! 💪😁

[@russellbaughnjr6457]

Great project Josh, you will have one nice lawn behind the mega shop. The work you have done to your property in the short amount of time you have owned it is a testament of your work ethic. Really impressive. Great Job!😊

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

thanks Russell...it's been a challenge for sure....more dirt moving coming this week!

[@connieguillot6999]

Hard worker !! That’s allot of dirt to spread ! But in time sure u will get it just how u want it 👍🏼👊🏻-like watching someone work hard ✝️

[@larrysmith6499]

Looks great Josh. You are going to have a awesome yard

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

learned a lesson the first time...I need to do this to my front yard!

[@waynemilks2352]

Excellent job Josh it looks great , i live in New York and around here it would cost $1000 for about 2 loads of dirt like that delivered and price of dirt. So $1000 dollars a day and roughly 200 tons of dirt is a great price.

[@josephcollins4336]

Super job!! EXCELLENT entertainment, as always!!

[@timziegler9358]

Looks great! Best wishes.

[@johnme7049]

It looks GREAT Josh. You dun dun good. God bless you Josh.

[@darrenh5665]

Awesome video Josh, entertaining for us, damn hard work for you.

[@RidgleyContracting]

I’ve been the excavation business for 41years. I’ve had people get indigent that I charge for dirt, my reply is the dirt is free, in reality your paying for a truck,loader,insurance,overhead,fuel,CDL requirements ect ect! Most people don’t realize what tags on a dump truck cost either. In my situation it’s about 1800.00 per year plus a 500.00 permit to move equipment. When people say do you think you own the road l say not at all just more of it than you do.

[@Safetyman1]

Good job, great dirt work.

[@providerwilliams5199]

Looks great. Good work Josh! KLW

Cool great to have that job behind you , cheers David

That's a lot of dirt, turned out great.

[@Hopefarme]

great my friend. You are truly invested in your work

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

Good job Josh at least you know how to operate. Wheel loaders are for loading track machines are for grading

[@ortizfarm]

You're correct Josh, those don't seem like full loads! Here in Florida i've been paying 185-200 a load, 18yrds

[@timkd5vmv583]

Here in Mississippi you would have to pay $400-$800 per load, so $1k per day is a heck of a deal for 10-12 loads

[@erockhefleyjr6852]

1 Mil subs gettin closer!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

getting close!

[@fmeach7711]

Great Job Josh. It is amazing with all that dirt and usually when you're done you wonder, where did it all go?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

easy to make dirt disappear that's for sure!

[@B422TMack]

Both the RD690 Mack & Mack Granite in the video are classed as A Tri Axle dump in my area . on a Tri Axle dump we are allowed 74.5K (24.5 tons of material) in my area . But bridge laws ( weight laws) vary from state to state . Good video Josh Mack

[@James_Innes]

On google maps you can see where the earth is coming from. Settle Bridge Road Shiloh Airfield. I presume they are building more hangars.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

thank goodness for the eye in the sky tattle tale gov't spies! What did we do before the whole world could use software to detect how many toilets we have in our houses. I think we should all be quite disturbed by the eye in the sky feeding our local gov'ts with tax revenue and spying on us if we build a chicken coop lol

[@James_Innes]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer True. It's like we all live in an open prison now, never far from a camera. Although I did once find a hole in my roof on google maps, so it can be useful.🧐

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

a buddy of mine built a small cabin by hand with his father in the woods, 5 years later the software in the gov't offices saw it and they sent out code enforcement, he was fined and had to pay back taxes....funny.....I didn't see how this building affected the NC tax payer

[@marktelin7259]

That land leveler is an awsome attachment😊

[@RCPSU4]

Turned out good for this segment. I hope you don't have any rocks in there, but if so would you run a power rake through all of the fill?

[@elitesless1539]

When you busted out the scrapie line maker thing I’m like MAN, he’s just showing off now! 😂🤣😂 looks awesome

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...you mean the land leveler....it does great doesn't it!

[@RidgeLife]

That's a lot of dirt work!

[@eddeetz493]

Does that face south? Screw mowing yard, make it a garden and add the chicken run with removable panels to harvest the compost from woodchips and sawdust. Heck of a project.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

faces north actually...it will be in grass and eventually a driveway will come up the hill

[@HurairahHomestead]

The end looks nice. My farm is full of ridges and valleys right now. I'm slowly getting it, tho. A good part of it is all the rocks I've pulled out. It's almost like I'm on top of an abandoned rock quarry! I've been working hard on this lil farm. But, got some potatoes growing. Got a few aubergines growing too, which is nice. Man...NOW someone finally told me. I was wondering why my aubergines have had so many pests. Treehoppers, aphids, ants, flea beatles, white flies, mealybugs, snails, slugs, even found a tobacco hornworm! About the only thing I haven't seen on my aubergines has been cabbage worms! I better not say that too loud, it might give them ideas!

[@davidbarnes706]

You got some nice dirt delivered

[@HomesteadingTheHardLife]

looking good Josh, looking good

[@danielalamo2075]

Very nice!!

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I could take a JD 450 or CAT D-4 and have you skating on it in a couple of hours. To make it just right, a few grade stakes and slope it anyway you like. One thing I learned in my construction life, proficiency on a bulldozer of any size. Bucket loaders and scrapers can do great work but only one other machine can make it better than the bulldozer, MOTORGRATER.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

a dozer does do a great job!

[@bwhittaker3658]

That looks awesome

[@harleycarter1955]

Nice job.

[@bobbyfisher6343]

Nice Grading Job

[@keithfrazier2558]

Wonder if you could use a manure spreader and some of that dirt where you have less top soil and lower spots. I really think that could help some of your worse areas and where the cows create trails or worn areas.

[@melaniekeen3611]

Shiloh Airport is giving that much dirt away. I need about 5 dump truck loads myself. You need to get Foothill Waste Solutions to replace that WM dumpster. Their prices are more competitive than WM. Wrays Concrete has all of your business

[@carloloturco1659]

Nice Work

[@fricknjeep]

hi there A dirty job . lol well done best to all john

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Was hear. Wooooo

[@SawdustandSweatNC]

Just a suggestion, you probably have already done this, but if you haven't you will appreciate this suggestion. If that new dirt gets rained on and splashes up on your barn dominium, you can expect your tin to get permanently stained by the soil splash. Best to you!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks! Great point

[@SawdustandSweatNC]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Personally, I prefer a coating of screenings from your local rock quarry. They are usually fairly priced, spreads easily, and won't blow away in the wind as straw. But if you have a couple of nails lying around, I've put down a lot of straw through the years as well. Best to you!

[@ClickinChicken]

That's really enterprising using the local airport project; the power of your videography! WOW! A person needs to be a bit of a sculptor to do that! Let me ask you Josh. Regarding your Outdoor Kitchen. Why are the vertical timbers for it not on the "Piles", Concrete supports, but seem to have a 'bolt' holding the weight? Wondered that before, either you answered it in previous and missed it etc. When Dad build this place he used rebar drilled into timbers (so it wouldn't shift or jump ha), Concrete braces, but the wood was always set on the concrete. Tommy Boy quote, "For the Love of God, WHY?!?!". lol Have a good one Wooo!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

those are a specific type of mount for the pillars that hold the building in place

Tell you the truth I'd like to do it again with around 100 acres. My question though is are you happy? There are a lot of things like the Mega Shop but are you happy. You surely make me happy in this down time and I owe you so thanks. Just want to make sure you are truly happy. No need to answer. Just think about it and be sure bud 🍻
