I wanted to buy one also but couldn't justify the purchase price. So I got an old 1998 KIA Sportage 4WD and striped and modified it to do the same job for about $3000 and you have car strength and lower parts cost. You can do the same with a Daihatsu terios, from about 1997 till 2003 models are...

Nice job, just finished my own version :thumbsup:

Re: buying a "land grader"/"leveling blade"/"bionic blade" I used a 44gal plastic drum full of water on mine to add extra weight

Re: buying a "land grader"/"leveling blade"/"bionic blade" I have made my own with angle blades. They are suppose to move material from one side to the other being angled but the angle doesn't let it move much but I do think it makes it cut good. The moisture content of the soil makes a big...

The latest pics showing the big *** back tyres out on our farm

Hi all, I have just finished my latest project. We had an old 1988 Mitsubishi Triton ute at our farm that the gearbox crapped itself and I couldn't justify the price they want for a side by side to replace it so I decided to custom make something that would do what we wanted. It started it's...

my play toys :laughing:

A land plain is my choice for road maintenance :thumbsup: my build http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/287452-land-plain-blade-height-help.html

My two bobs worth , I have angled blades ( about 25 Deg) and there is very little sideways movement of material. I don't regret making them angled but it doesn't make a crown as it just doesn't move enough material sideways but I think it does cut good. If you are going to pull it with a...

Just finished the next project, a set of fork lift forks that fit onto the bucket in 5 seconds flat and fully adjustable for width. Used them the last couple of days for heaps of stuff. Used the off cuts of the grader blades from building the land plain for the connection onto the bucket. Just...

A land plain is much easier to use and gives better results in most cases if you just want to level ground. A floting top link on your box blade I think will just make your box blade lift up at the back. I was going to do that with my land plain which is 8' long and a lot heavier than a box...

looks good, I also used grader blades on the skids to lengthen their life. Used a 44gal drum to add weight. link to my build:thumbsup: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/287452-land-plain-blade-height-help.html

I have recently purchased a MZT 26 which is 48" cut base model here in Australia for $7150. I don't know why things are so much more expensive here. I would love to buy your ZT60 for $3750US. I love the mower they are great and bullet proof. I droped it off the ramps while putting it on our...

just finished about 4 hours on the tractor using the land plain. Works well, I thought at 8' long I would be able to use chain top link and just let it find it own level but not the case, as the front blade digs and cuts (at 10mm down) it has a tendency to lift the back so I had to use the solid...

well after a few weeks of night and weekend work I have a finished land plain finally. Just finished the paint job today so I thought I would show some pic of the finished product with a bit of a time line of getting to the end. I used some steel I already had and had to buy some all up it cost...

Thought I would start of the replies even though I have no restorations yet. I have not long purchased this property so not done much yet and don't live on it as we use it at weekends to get our 2 teenage sons off the playstation and computer and out into the bush. We have 997acres of mainly...

Hi Joe, The goats get you in for sure. We purchased our 1000 acre farm last December and the animals came with it ( abandoned by previous renters ) We wanted to get rid of them at first thinking they would be a pain as we only use the property at weekends as a getaway for the kids to get them...

Goats are great fun, even more if you have them tame, keep hand feeding treats. We have 12 that are a combination of breeds and just last week purchased a young 4 month old billy to breed next season, hopefully. We also have two horses, (one is an ex race horse that broke down) and one sheep...

our lovely, very intelligent and obedient 4y old boxer grayhound cross

Hi Thomas, To answer your questions about my add on's, Not sure if our names may not be what you call them in the US. I have a 5' slasher (3pl PTO cuts grass) and a 5' grader blade ( 3pl back blade) listed but not a 5' slasher blade?? That would be a big *** slasher to spin a 5' blade:D. Jibb...

Hi all, this is my first post. I am very impressed with all the info that is given here, everyone seems very nice and helpful, great to see. I am in Australia, so Hi from down under. I'm starting to build a land plain to make road ways on our 1000acre property but don't know what height to set...
