How To - Tractor Land Plane - Gravel Road Maintenance 

EverythingAttachment I built one similar to this for my skidsteer, after using this on driveways the customers really appreciate the savings on stone plus I get the work twice a year rather than once every 5.

I'd like to see that myself

Thanks for watching! Create/maintain a crown by adjusting the tractor's side linkage to make one side lower than the other. Check out our newest, Xtreme model land levelers here: www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

You all ready have a peanut as president.

Thanks! Yes, top link adjustment is necessary to get it dialed in so it will produce the best results for your particular application. No down force is being applied, so a heavier model should produce better results faster. Our new EA Xtreme models have an aggressive 10 degree cutting edge angle, which also helps! You can adjust the tractor's side links to create/maintain a crown.

An angle blade will only pull the material from the edge to the middle leaving a pile that has to be dealt with. These are privaget driveways and a crown is really the least of anyone's worry. Land planes are used because they roll the larger rocks to the surface and the fine dust and silt is washed away. This road has more than enough rock in it to last with proper maintenance. You can tell that they have not done anything with this road for years and years. Using a land plane monthly will keep your driveway clean and free from sunken and sloppy wet areas. Thus the reason to level it out. Driving over it with out maintenance will create those ruts that will turn to mud and pot holes. Angle blade moves material from one side to the other. Box blade moves material from one areas to another. Land plane level the materiel where it is at. As you can see there are needs for each one yet a land plane on a driveway is really the way to go.

Chris Cash Chris Cash 3 years ago If used correctly you can crown your drive with it. I do mine with a 6'. You merely ride on the left side and raise the adjusting arm so that when raise the lifting bars the outside arm has slack and doesn't move. Or vice versa you can lower the adjusting arm and the left arm will rise on its own. With this you would need to be on the opposite side of the drive. This tool is a dream for anyone with a long drive. Mine is around 1000 ft. These don't leave dips as bad as box blades. 1

I have and use a couple of these. If you just think about how you are running the machine, these work very well to blade a road flat, cut down a crown, or build a crown, even build a new road. If you get a model with scarifiers mounted, you can run them about 1 inch deep, just enough to loosen the top for blading, and this job would have gone much faster.

Hi

You and me would think so because if no crown water sits on road & when driven on makes puddles turn into huge potholes. Yet another reason this tool is junk. Need a better took that will do one pass on each side of crown ripping, and then spreading and packing with little to no bounce.

I believe it is actually rip rap rock which would also make a good band name ;)

The need for a crown may vary, but you can maintain a crown by adjusting the tractor’s side links if desired.

Hi

A land lever should work ideally. You should check out our Xtreme model here: www.everythingattachments.com/Land-Leveler-Land-Plane-With-Scarifier-Rippers-p/eta-land-leveler-ws-2.htm

On a paved road, they help the road shed water into the gutters. On a gravel road, the crown happens because of gravel displaced from the tire tracks. That results in the water collecting and flowing in the tire tracks, and rutting them out worse. Dispersing the crown fills the tire tracks back in and makes them less prone to erosion.

All the way down, the outside edges ride on top ofthe gravel and keep it from digging too much

We have shipped implements going to places all over the world, all you need to do is find an exporter here in the US, and we will ship it to them. Almost all exporters are within our free shipping zone on the east coast.

well how much does it get some one to ship it over here? because here it will be in the thousands!!

mining mayhem That is something you would have to set up with the exporter, we don't deal with them other than ship the attachment to the exporter you have made arrangements with.

okay thanks for the information!

Sure! It probably won't be very grassy when you're finished. I'd go with a model with ripper shanks. The best can be found here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

Yes, at the perfect angles to produce optimal results. See our current models here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

It can help lighter models because weight definitely produces results. We've since designed our own model and it is taller, deeper and HEAVIER, so additional weight isn't needed.

There are many variables with tractors/frame sizes/horsepower these days, so we really prefer one on one with our customers, when matching this stuff up.
