Depends on where you're at I guess. Around here you generally don't dig gravel. You blast rock off the face of a mountain and then crush the rock. Those guys are selling it in the 5.50-6.50 tonne range right now I beleive. There are certain types of granite around here that will rip if you've got perhaps a 7+ class machine and 2 barrell single shank ripper.... but that's also the kind of stuff that is quite soft so it doesn't make for an ideal roadbed in high traffic areas and it has limited uses for other things.

This is small scale stuff that flies under the radar for the most part. Big quarries get into big trouble and dollars for permits here.... It's generally cheaper to leave that headache to someone else.
