land plane

I've run up & down just about any thread I can find , but I have not found good pics of how guys are mounting the blades in their shop built land plane . Anyone out there have any good pics of blade mounts ? Please post them here . Also I can't say I saw anywhere what the spacing should be...

I've struggled with keeping my gravel drive smooth for years. I currently use a box blade and back blade, but have discovered I'm horrible at using them. I see the land planes and Harley rakes on videos and they both seem to give a nice smooth level drive. My question, is one better than the...

I’m taking my Kioti CX2510 HST open station on the road for the first time this weekend to my new undeveloped property. I’ll be doing some backhoe work and ditch clean out, some private gravel road maintenance with the land plane and some exploration. Not sure I’m equipped for much else, though...

I was planning on waiting until Spring to work on the driveway at the new place, but with the construction trucks in and out every day and our recent snow, it's getting in terrible shape. There are some ruts in it now deep enough that a car would high center. I drive a pickup, and the wife a...

I have about 1/2 mile gravel road which takes a beating. I'm going to redo it with fabric and gravel, but I want to figure out a way to pack it as smoothly as possible, after I'm through with a land plane. A lot of the road is on a north facing hill, and it tends to wash out, even though I plan...

I have a Yanmar 1700 I bought to maintain my gravel driveway, about 1/8 mile. 1/3 of the drive is solely mine and 2/3 of it are shared. My part is #57 gravel and basically just need to spread/level the gravel. The remaining 2/3 is finer material, packed hard with some potholes. I have a 5 foot...

I have a 150 yards of gravel drive to maintain. I've been debating between a GS1560 and a GS1548. Tractor is 22.5 HP at engine, 1367 lbs. I will have the loader on, so I can add weight easily for extra traction. Based on what I've read, the 48" is the preferred size for this tractor. Is it...

I'm looking for a HEAVY duty land plane. Several years ago, I purchased the largest version EA had, and it was great. I sold that farm a few years ago along with all implements. I just purchased a new farm, and along with the massive sticker shock of equipment these days, I was equally...

I was at a dealer and noticed that the new Woods grading scrapers (land planes) were made in china. The black GS 30 series scrapers had 'made in china" stickers on them. The old burnt orange GSS series was made in the USA. I was disappointed to see the change from USA made to Chinese made. I...

This is an old story, so many of you are probably familiar with it. I stumbled upon this miraculous story of a pilot dying shortly after take-off, and the passenger Doug White, landing it. N559DW Incident Edit: This is another version where someone is giving some commentary and forensics...

I've looked at several of the land plane builds but I have one question. I can't tell by the photos what I need. I'm using the Gordon Gould build as a reference. I have 4 inch angle to mount the cutting blades I'm "borrowing" from my box blade. What is a good vertical angle to mount the cutters...

What are the best options for a 96” land plane? I need to build/maintain an 800ft driveway and several parking areas.

So I have had my land plane for a number of years now and it's been a great tool. Its now at the point where I need to flip my scraper blades due to wear.. My question is how low to drop them below the skids ?

Well I messed up and waited too long. I originally wanted the Everything attachments Land plane but wasn't sure what size to get. I knew my 2840 Montana could not handle much of a land plane and I knew I was upgrading to a bigger cab tractor soon. How much bigger I had no Idea. With 0% for 84...

A little while back I purchased an IronCraft 72" Land plane (3606) from my local dealer. I had other issues at hand, so it just sat underneath a tarp near my carport. So the other day I had the flail mower off of the tractor anyway, so I figured I would go ahead and hook up the land plane and...

I waffled and never got an EA landplane ordered, thank goodness. Who builds the better landplanes today for reasonable money, not cheap and not expensive? I need appropriate for my Massey 5711D so, construction and design quality matter so I don't tear it up on my farm property or my driveway...

The overall width of my tractor is 6 feet. I am intending to buy a land plane/grader for driveway maintenance and general landscaping and I'm looking for opinions on whether a standard 6-foot grader is adequate or if it's best to go with a seven-foot grader for coverage outside the tractor...

I am looking for a land leveler to set / reset the camber on some dirt roads, and I came across a land leveler from Notch Manufacturing. These aren't gravel roads, so I am less interested in ripper teeth. Anyone here have any experience with it? It seems like a useful design to be able to...
