I called the gentleman that delivers the Duraberm and he uses a Land Plane on his driveway so I ordered one. Decided to give the Independence series from Homestead Implements a try. Weight is about the same as the best selling Land Pride at my local Kubota dealer.

I have about 1/4 mile of driveway in NE Indiana running a 27 HP Kubota 2710. I already own a box blade a sand scraper blade but I’m seriously considering a land leveler. I won’t add rear remotes to this machine for TNT and I’m no professional operator so I feel like the land leveler is the right...

Storms like this one are a good test of equipment and skill. Today I found both to be lacking. We got about a foot overnight and my little tractor barely made it down the driveway today. I have a Kubota B2710 with R4s that have been grooved. I plow with an ETA 6 way blade with the rubber horse...

Plowed a few inches of heavy wet snow last night. Was a great learning experience. Turns out I’ve been doing it all wrong. My blade angle wasn’t steep enough to properly “roll” the snow out of the way. I had been dragging the snow around in the mid range gear and it was taking forever to get it...

I have a hole in one of the 4 hoses on my loader valve. Should I just replace them all? Planning to have this tractor a while.

I’m on my second spreader bar for the Pat’s Easy change. The first one went through the flail mower once shearing off the thumb screw and is presently somewhere on my property hibernating until I mow again... This time I painted the outside of it orange in hopes it will stand out when I look...

I have a 16 ft utility trailer I picked up a few years back when I wanted to tow my CUT. This thing pulls very well so I’m keeping it. Needs new decking, some metal repairs, and I’m planning to move a few things around. The problem I can’t seem to solve is once I add sides to it how can I...

Got the iron too hot at some point.

Final tire. All posts real time. If you have an option, do this on a hot sunny summer day. Groovy!!!

Front #1 complete. Much easier than rears.

Rear #2 complete

First rear completed. Heater buddy makes a big difference.

Test run on a pair of shoes, grooves and siping with blade turned over.

Finished a nice little fabrication project this week. “Bucket Buddy” made from a Harbor Freight 2” receiver mounted with grade 8 bolts and a steel backer plate. Lift mechanism fabricated from 12 gauge 2” OD square tubing, 3” angle, and 1/2 round stock. First time doing any metal work in a...

I’m thinking of using the receiver to mount a trash can carrier. I made some from wood that just hang on the bucket. They work ok but fall off when I lower the cans. The one I’m thinking of building will hold everything more securely. Just brought the mig welder in from the barn and am...
