Mini excavators & skid steers for Rural Block Setup
Turning a bush block into a home: driveway, pad, drainage, water, fire breaks and the wet-season-proof layout.
A new rural block in the Darwin rural area is a job list that takes years. The order matters.
The sequence
Drainage and driveway first, built to shed the wet. Then the house and shed pads, raised above the flats. Then bore, tanks and water lines trenched below traffic depth. Then fencing, fire breaks and the orchard or paddocks.
Machines that suit
The R22 PRO for drainage, pads, trenches and post holes; an RS10 skid steer for gravel, fill and fire breaks. Most rural owners keep both.
