have a creek running thru part of my farm. comes in at 8 acre stand of timber, makes a lazy s thru the timber then runs straight for about 40 rods to a small bridge at the road, goes into the neighbors property and continues on. from grade level to creek bottom, maybe 10-15 ft average. creek usually runs from 10 inches deep, to over the bank in heavy rains. got a lot of wash out erosion from the last big rains near the curves, also got some sediment islands in the straight run. i'm thinking about hauling in stone where the erosion is heaviest to hold the banks, and having a machine come in to clean up the straight run. was thinking about maybe 4 inch stone or so, i dont want to use concrete rubble, the kids fish there, and the rubble is too jagged. any recomendations on stone size? i'm thinking i will need probably 5 semi loads to cover the bad spots. as far as a machine to do the work, i had thought about hiring a gradall to come in. its a pretty good stretch to get to the center of the ditch. anybdy know the reach on a gradall? (its the truck with the telescoping boom and shovel on the end) to get a track excavator out with a high hoe is 900.00 just to haul the machine out, thats why im leaning toward a gradall. any ideas??thoughts or comments, thanks a bunch, glenn i can get some pictures and post them if that will help.
