I'd like to buy a landplane for some land leveling/driveway making I have coming up. I have a box blade to do initial work, and I'm thinking a Landplane grader blade would compliment that nicely.
I have seen the one Jenkins made and I really like that, although I would like adjustable blades. I have talked with Brian about a 7' model he has and would love to buy that, if it weren't all the way across the country from me.
The things I liked about the one Brian has, is that it is almost as long as it is wide, I believe 7'X7', which seems like the longer it is the better it would 'level'.
I like how Jenkins is very heavy duty from what I've seen. Ideally, I think I want a 7'-8' land plane that weighs somewhere near 1000lbs. Not sure if this is something I would have to build or not, but as much as I like building things, I really don't have time to.
I'll keep my eyes peeled on craigslist but in the meantime, what are some makes and models of land planes I could start researching?
I like heavy duty equipment and not lightweight stuff. I will eventually have about 800' of driveway to maintain for hopefully the rest of my life if all goes according to plan, and I would like to only buy one of these
Is there a rough idea of what price I would be up against for what I'm looking for?
Any other attachments you'd recommend? Seems like the landplane can't be beat for maintaining a gravel drive. I'll also have about 600' or so of road to maintain as well.
