This is a dumb question - but IF you have issues getting the lift in there because the concrete isn't level, what is the solution? Grinding it level? That's a monolithic pour right (trying to see in the pictures)? EDIT Nevermind I see your above post - concrete guy won't fix it.

Quick compaction question for GJ. I'm scraping off about 2' of organic soil (black) and getting down to a tan/brown layer of clay. Does that virgin clay need to be compacted? Obviously my fill I'm laying on top the clay needs to be compacted (6" at a time using a plate compactor). I'm...

Spent a few more hours working at it this weekend. I've got a 30x60 area cleared. I need to move the fruit trees before I can continue. I also ran into a old burn/junk pit. Need to dig down deeper in that spot to clear all that **** out of there. Make sense because I remember that being a...

I’m going to form it up but only help for the pour itself. If I tried my hand at finishing it wouldn’t be good. ;) Ive been getting guidance and advice from two different concrete guys who I’m on a semi friends basis with.

You need a matching model 80 cart for your 140s!

Got started last night. I'm excavating it myself and it's actually not going all that bad (truthfully it's fun). Here's about 1 hour and 45 minutes of work. I'm tiling, then scraping, then hauling away. I'm just getting down to that clay base. I need to move our fruit trees as well.

Cool. Definitely check out wfmachines. The tiller (model 33) requires a rear PTO. That can be pretty hard (and expensive) to come by. Do either machines have a rear PTO already (it's a double pulley in the rear)?

My dad is lending me his Kubota L3901 (40 hp size). It has a 60" bucket. However, this machine isn't the greatest at digging/excavating a large area of virgin soil - I think it would be a monumental task for this machine but I'm sure it could be done. -What's the correct machine for excavating...

Nice. I’ve got a 140h3 and a 332. JD garden tractors rock. Did you get any attachments? Check out wfmachines.com it’s a great forum for JD garden tractors.

I'll post up some pictures of the Dart this week. Here's a quick one from our wedding. Did some soil testing today. Dug down to 12", 24" and 30". Looks like the first 12" is "loam". Once I get to about 24" it gets to be more clay. Still waiting for all the stuff to separate out. But based...

Update - got stuff out of the way. New garage will sit further back (behind) the concrete slabs. I’m going to rip them out. Also going bigger, something around 32x56. Things are going a lot slower than expected. Been busy at work, a lot of cold rainy weather, and most importantly spending a...

Just out of curiosity, What were the original options on the GTX or is the fender tag gone? Color? Air grabber car? I’m a originalist I suppose you could say. I really wanted a b body when I was looking but could only afford a grocery getter a body (318 powered *******)

What type of soil do you have, are you going to excavate any of it? Greg

Nice GTX. :thumbup:
