Here's what they used in the Oil Patch , Prudhoe Bay 1994, for maintaining the high traffic roads . Huh, color sure is not right. Scanned off 35 mm pix, really got purplish tint. Anyway this rig did a decent job, cutting into the hard pack, pot holed road, wings kept the material in a box, and then the wobblies compacted.

    Looks like a great idea. Compact the dirt you put in the potholes at the same time. The Challenger pulling it is a good deal too, untill you find some rock, then they eat $8,000 tracks like candy

    Road Maintenance It's the sheer number of pick ups, trucks, traveling and the rainy wet weather, causing the potholes. 3 days and the potholes almost become unbearable. Gravels were -2", no large rocks to tear tracks up. Just a real high maintenance issue. A real Industrial site now, with the demands of people performing there jobs, that require travel on the roads. Many were advocating the paving of high usage roads. Big Oil said NO. :beatsme
