I was imagining Chris bringing his roller over when they finished making ruts. We had a 20 foot roller that was towed by the tractor on the farm, and it would have been heavy enough to flatten those ruts if the ground was wet. I bet a lot of farms would have something like that. We also had a roller which had loose rings instead of a drum. That was towed behind a big rotary tiller on the tractor. The tiller fluffed up the soil, and the roller compacted it just enough to seal in the moisture, and leave a perfect surface for drilling seeds.

I remember reading an SCE cost estimate for laying lines via several alternative paths. They talked about tons/cubic yard. When the dirt is wet the weight really goes up, so the yards per truck load goes way down, the number of trips and cost goes way up. You should be filling the dump truck only about 2/3 full when its hauling mud.

I think Frank Cunningham (DigginOK) would have been pleased with the job Chris made digging those trenches, and I doubt there are more than a hand full of operators who can match Frank's skills at digging trenches.
