Disclaimer: I know this is dog shit compared to the awesome work people do on this sub. I’m by myself doing little bits when I can.

This is the start of my track, which has taken far too long to make (on and off over the year). I build something up by hand and decide to dump a tractor load on top to then make it bigger & cause a mess (rinse and repeat).

Does anyone have any tips on how to make good starts on relatively flat ground. This is the best spot closest to home in the front paddock.
I’ve tried to rake out rocks but it’s hard to get the ground consistent and smooth. I thinking of using 2 big logs at the end of the 2nd berm shark fin thing for a landing/bridge letting water drain away underneath.

It’s a bit hard to get water to the area, I try to pick up dirt after rain to then pack in on top of stuff.

Really haven’t got a clue what I’m doing. Just Loosing a bit of motivation. You don’t have to be nice, any feedback and tips are welcomed.

Cheers.
Also you can see the difference from my first post on my profile.

Does anyone have any tips for building a berms out of rocks as like a wall ride?
I’m back on my family farm for the year and spending spare time. (Central western NSW, Australia)
I have access to plenty of large stones/rocks with smooth faces. I flipped a few large rocks over in the section of my track I couldn’t avoid. Thought some would be cool to ride on by mud packing into the shape of a berm.

I was lazy with the tractor and dumped dry dirt full of gravelly crap behind my initial structure. I also didn’t mud pack at the start as I just dry stacked the initial stones. ADHD got the better of me and I just started stacking. I then tried to fill dirt in between the rocks afterwards but feel like it’s all crap.

I’ve started to make an outer wall with stones and mud as retaining wall to add strength & structure and a base to add some final large smooth stones.

Anyway, do you reckon it’s a waste of time and I should just whack mud all over it?
