Welcome to Project 291! If this is your first video, thanks for joining us today! But this video is just a small piece of the puzzle as we are smack dab in the middle of making improvements to this 291 acre Southern Illinois investment property! In today's episode Pro Staffer Phil will be using his new 2023 Kioti NX5510 compact tractor and like a 100 year old tractor back blade! OK, it might only be like 80 years old, but the point is that you don't need any fancy new implements to build a driveway crown with your tractor! A simple tractor back blade will do the trick just fine! This entire new section of driveway was low and always held water for weeks after any rain. So we've been adding dirt to it now for a couple of weeks and it finally dried up enough to build a new crown on the dirt driveay to prepar it for driveway stone. Here is the video link to the last episode of us building the new driveway crown when it was dirt with the Kioti NX5510 and tractor back blade: https://youtu.be/4RCPRvo22dQ In today's episode we will tackle building this driveway and adding stone and using our Kioti tractors to complete the mission! For this particula gravel driveway project we used 1" clean stone, and this is for a number of different reasons. This is a future hunting camp and not a primary residence, and we are trying to keep on a decent budget for this project. So the ultimate goal from this stretch of new gravel driveway is simply to provide year round access regardless of whether it is in the wet spring, or soggy, snowy winter. So we are using just enough gravel to form the gravel driveway base so that trucks can enter to get to the hunting camp any time of year. Thanks for joining us today I hope to see you on a future episode from Project 291 here at Kapper Outdoors 2.0! #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kioti #kiotitractor #kiotitractors #kiotinx5510 #kiotiusa #gradingdriveway #buildingacrown #drivewaycrown #drivewayrunoff #gravelroad #graveldriveway #tractorgrading
