I know you WANT a tractor but you could save most of this price by hiring a local trucker to haul good gravel (something like 3" road stone crushed limestone thats a mix of stuff that packs and so doesn't wash or disappear into the mud) and to spread it as he dumps. Then you can adjust his spreading with a hand rake and pack the drive by driving over it. You can't move 80 tons of free chert with a small tractor and loader in any reasonable time period. Even with a tractor it would pay you to buy good gravel and pay for it to be spread... Been there tried that... Not again... Gerald
