How much do you pay for Dirt just like it says

i know you guys have lanping pads and jumps you've made out of dirt but what are you gettin for it? that and how much? There a certain kind, topsoil, clay dirt, just lookin to see what the price are nowadays

You should ask Wolffie. He is buying dirt now for his track. You want a clay, because is packs nice, and is very durible.

im paying around $100 a ten wheeler load. that is a decent amount of dirt IMO. i will post up some pics later this week of the jump i am making to get you an idea of how much it would take.

the best dirt IMO is clay. it packs incredibly well, and you dont have to do as much long term maintence as other dirt.

if you dont have a good company to call up for dirt, contact the people who dig up the ditches for the state. they usually are desperate to get rid of the dirt, and you can use it for the bottom layer or your jump.

My grandfather sells dirt and gravel, one dump truck load is around $100 closer your are the cheper he charges. On average look to pay aroudn 100 a load.

I get dirt for free... some times it's got rocks and stumps/roots in it though. When they dig properties around here and want to get rid of the stuff they bring it to our yard. Also when road works are going on you can get free dirt/rock... But the stuff on my track is all dug up by me...

[400ex28]

around 40-50 bucks for a load

free, sometimes they pay me :D

the local pool diggers pay me/give it to me...like $20 a truck load they would sell it to me for just so they can get rid of it...

Do some research If an excavator is working near you. You might be able to get it free.

[miller821]

Just do some manual labor and dig it yourself:muscle: But really check out cemetaries they give free dirt sometimes.

You got any square hay bails? Ive heard you can build up your jumps with them and cover it with dirt. Im definitely going to try it when I rebuild my track, it will save a lot of digging.

[Honda#4]

i get dirt for free i use a combo of dirt and hard packed manure i know it sounds funny but it packs better than clay i think.

[raptor146]

Puts a whole new meaning to eating sh**. When you crash Honda #4.:D

[exrider008]

[Ruby Soho]

[exrider008]

[Ruby Soho]

well, theres a new plaza going in down the street from me. they put it right where a big hill was. and theyre putting a parking lot aorund it. so they seem to be getting rid of TONS of dirt.

would it be worth asking for any?

yes go over and ask them... thats were i got my dirt from, they were making a new parking gradge and i asked them if i could have some and they said i could have all the dirt i wanted because they had no place to put it.

[Ruby Soho]

should i ask them flat out, or just say "do you need a place to dump your dirt?"

[exrider008]

just ask them flat out and tell them what u r doing, im sure they will help u out. dont go to the workers go to the owner of the company that is halling the dirt.
Good luck!
