I have a lot of gravel so I purchased a Land Plane to help with maintaining. I give my two cents worth after the initial use. Also, the pole barn package was delivered. goodlucktrying21@gmail.com
Look into the Pat’s Quick Hitch, I know you mentioned getting one, I put one on and its awesome, it’ll fit any attachment. I think it’s the best, but when your doing the research on them, check it out. I had others, and the Pat’s worked the best for me. I have the LX 3310 so it will work fine on yours good luck.
I haven’t saw those but I ended up buying a LandPride Quick Hitch and I agree with you the quick hitches are a game changer. It matches up with all my attachments but after having it, it would be hard to go back. Appreciate the comment and the recommendation! I will still look them up
Wonderful tool! Be cautious back-blading with it - I’ve bent the rear big angle iron that holds the rear cutting blade. OR, buy cutting blades for both sides of the angle irons. Best attachment I own.
So just to confirm (I've never used a land plane). Will it a do a nicer job than a box blade by being less agressive? Can we say that? Looking to buy one to do the same as you, i.e. a beautiful set of gravel roads!
It works really well for gravel driveways! With the skid plates along the right & left edges it will not allow you to get too deep and leaves material behind. It is much more user friendly than a box blade, if you have used a box blade you know if you are not careful you can take it down to the dirt and then you have to have a gentle hand to place them back. With the land plane you can pretty much let it down and drive, you will enjoy the attachment!
Why on earth did you not just use a back blade and use the round edge by backing up. That land plane with scarifiers is meant to dig up and fixed packed roads with pot holes. That job took you forever.
I like the fact of covering the back tires, not by much but it is nice to be able to get rid of the tire track if you are finishing something. Only negative with the overhang in my opinion is you have to watch and not hang it on the fence post. Good luck with it, I think you will be pleased with the land plane!
One other thing to consider with the land plane is you will use it backwards to grade and if it is wider than your tires then your tractor will travel in the graded area. Having it wider will make it a more useful tool.
