[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tangerine-jack I've driven over my track with a riding mower and my motorcycle, not intentionaly mind you, and it survived just fine. If by "tractor" you mean something built by John Deere or International Harvester, then I would say no, that is a bit too much for any track. If you have no choice but to drive over your track, then follow the example of real railroads and construct grade crossings from heavy timber or concrete, a good time to be creative! I don't know what your soil is like, but here when it rains, the top 3" or so turns to soup, and under that is either clay or sand, sometimes both. In order to build a footer of any kind, I have to dig in at least 2ft to give it something solid to rest on. If I were to build a grade crossing for heavy vehicles, I would build it 2ft depth X 3ft out on both sides, width to be determined by type of vehicle to cross, and set the track in to rail height so it is level. Overbuilt, perhaps, but no harm in that. So how long will it be before we can see your creation?[oX)] [/quote] TJ, I like it!I like it! [:D]The Idea of a grade crossing is great! We are talking garden tractor also, sorry for not being more specific.
