Tom...
Thanks for the "no bones about it" approach. I appreciate your delivery.
Our pond project is about 2200 feet from the county road, winding thru the woods. This driveway was created by and can handle long semi-dumpers that weigh in at 70,000# + gross wt. I see no issue with the weight capacity, but the distance may preclude my participation in community efforts based on your description of "how it's normally done". During community assist, I kinda envisioned providing a place for the tankers to fill up, turn around, and head back to the fire scene. If the pond comes together the way I hope, we will be pushing 4 - 5 ac with avg depth around 8 - 10 ft. As long as it ain't down too far, it would be hard to put a severe dent it it...or am I nutz?
