Dang, Rick, you need about 6 end dump loads of 3/4 minus driveway gravel brought out by someone who knows how to gate spread and a track steer skid loader to fix that mess... How do you plow that low area and get the snow out to the side ?...

The first photo was taken after I moved in and has been since taken care of. The second photo is with the rock (though about 3 years old). Ann refuses to have a blacktop drive so the rock is the best choice and works well. As for plowing, I have not used a shovel in 5 years here but when needed the John Deere tractor with bucket takes one pass, 10 minutes and its clean.

This photo was taken 11 years ago and no problem to plow even with a 48" wide plow on a small tractor. If the snow gets too bad you simply drive through the fields as they are always blown down to the dirt.

For a few years I was in the habit of riding along with Chuck Hanson to Charlotte AutoFair, Pickup with a loaded single axle trailer. The first time along, after three or four tries backing into the swap space I said "Want me to give a try? Where do you want it parked?" I backed it in first try. After that Chuck would stop in the isle and get out without a word, and I would slide over and place the trailer.

Agree with Mitch, watch the mirrors to "Steer" the trailer tires to the apex of the curve and the rest will follow. - Bill W

I was blessed to grow up on a farm. I learned so many simple things such as backing a trailer at a very young age. A trailer is simple compared to backing a four wheel silage wagon or hay wagon.
Just relax and get behind the wheel and do it. Practice practice practice.
