Now warmer weather, been hauling out the north side the last week.

Did some measuring yesterday, where the 850 sits - a lil more dirt to be excavated, but where the B50 sits - might have to build up 2 - 3 inches. That'd be using a 14 degree incline with a total ramp length of 23 feet... the grade the B50 is climbing in the video is 20 - 21 degree. The very top of the ramp needs to go back 2 feet. Using the clinometer on my phone with two pieces of steel rod, visegrips on vertical rod @12", slid other rod back & forth to determine what distance per foot = what degree incline... 14 degree = 46 inches length... not too bad of a grade for the trks to pull, but I'll probably need to lay down asphalt shingles to keep the haul trks from wearing down the roadway too quickly.
