Jacks, I will also tell you, you will need MUCH more of a Culvert than those small concrete ones. I appalude your thinking here though. A single 36 or 48 in culvert will carry more water than 2 concrete 24 in.ers. The rub occurs when in the rainy season or snow melt time when the little 6in deep by 2 ft wide creek get 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep and you are backing water up, up stream with the 8 ft. berm over the culvert. If it washes out you will have a larger problem than your first problem of just trying to cross the creek. You need to know how high and wide that creek get at it's biggest!!!!!! Ask around the local construction and road construction co. see if any one has a decent 3ft or 4 ft X 25 ft long Used culvert they would sell. We bought 12 or so 4 yrs ago for $100 ea. My creek is a wet weather problem from 12 ft wide and 4 in deep to 15 ft wide and 5+ ft deep . Washed out 3 , 3ft X 25 ft long, had 3 to 4 ft of calachie road base over the culverts. Next time, will add one more culvert and maybe a concrete cap over the road base. To keep it from washing out.. My Suggestions ....Over Engineer This project!!! or you do not have to re-address this problem. If you do not, it will wash out, only to have to fix it again later and the working conditions may not be as ideal as when you plan to do the project the first time. Hope this helps. Later, John A.

The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
