I had a concrete turnaround drive in front of our house. I had it taken out and put in asphalt. For one, the winters we were having we were getting ice buildup on the concrete that would become a safety hazard. With asphalt....the sun comes out and everything is melted off.
Buying one for only a 1/4 acre....NO. But buying one with a truck and a trailer to move it around and you can make some good coin. I have a CUT with a loader and had to move a lot of dirt yesterday. Took me about 4 hours. With a skid steer, I would have been done in 45 minutes. And this was...
