I built my own land plane last year after seeing all the positive talk about them online. Wasn't much work, and it was just all scrap iron. For a small time investment I now have a driveway that's the smoothest it's ever been. I also reclaimed tons of material that had been packed down and covered with detritus over the years.
As for moving material, I made slots in the back end of my land plane so that a board can be dropped in. Now it's both a land plane and a box blade.
Pretty good first run with the land plane. In most of the video, the front blade was doing a lot more work than the rear blade. You want to adjust the top link to even that out. I highly recommend a hydraulic top link. You can adjust on the fly without stopping and getting off the tractor. Can be utilized by the land plane, box scraper, disc harrows, rakes, makes hooking up implements way faster, especially with a quick hitch, and a lot more. You won't regret it. They're relatively cheap if you build your own. One of the best tractor mods I've done, worth every penny. Also, in order to keep your gravel driveway in good shape for a longer period of time, rent a vibratory roller to "set" the stone and stiffen up the base layer. When I do these jobs, I rough grade the driveway with all of the rocks and stuff burping up. Rake off the big rocks and debris, then pound that down with the roller set the base layer and prevent that stuff from contaminating your new rock layer. Otherwise it'll burp up and ruin your new work. Then pack the road-mix down for longevity.
Looks like it's a little low in the front but not bad for a first pass. I think you'll really like that for driveway maintenance.
I graded our drive for 35 yrs up hills and found that it's better to slope the sides so the water runs off quickly. During heavy rains fewer ruts and low places on the drive. After a load of rock tilt the box blade forward so the frt rt edge cuts slightly forcing the rock to the center with the BB high on the left side. Then use the heal of the BB to smooth to the desired level keeping the slope to the edge. I also drove my truck along the edges to pack down the rock. For me, the box blade is all you need.
Have a video to explain that?
Timely vid. Getting ready to put limestone down and don’t want to pay anyone anymore. The land plane is the trick!! Thanks Adam and Happy Easter!
Gotta love the internet warriors that always knows what’s best for you. You do you man. Keep up the good content.
Amen! Well said.
The fastest way to turn a gravel driveway into a mud driveway is to constantly disturbed the gravel. Get some road pack on that driveway and leave it alone. My driveways are 3 inch limestone base with road pack on top and despite being very steep they almost never wash or rut.

Quick tip to help you keep things where they need to be. make a rod to hang off the bucket area and then add a lenght of chain to just about touch the ground. Doing this will keep you right on the edge of the tool that you have installed. Adjustable is keep and making sure that the front lines up with the back. This will allow you to have a visual so that you do not keep making the drive way bigger or smaller over time. Making it bigger is just a waste of stone. Also using the land plane on a monthly or biweekly basis is key to keeping the stone on top and the dirt below. You will find that after rain it will clear up. The more you use it the cleaner it will get. The land plane breaks up the dirt and allows it to wash below in the loose gaps.
I thank Mike Morgan for turning me on to your channel. Congratulations on getting the that attachment it really helped post the drive way. Happy Easter. Stay safe
A land plane combined with an hydraulic top link is the perfect match. Being able to adjust the land plane pitch on the fly makes it much more easy and efficient to use. I have those and I highly recommend it.
Have a nice day.
I priced a 1st & 2nd valve with Hyd. top link and Hyd. side link at the Kubota dealer...$3000. Would love to have one but...WOW... too expensive for me! William had a good idea about the chain. My Father In Law had one on his bush-hog, worked great. I noticed Adam had the back end of the landplane off the ground nearly the whole time.
I'm working with vintage garden tractors and an ATV, just had material brought in for the drive here. Friend brought skid loader to locate what couldn't be spread by the truck (2nd load), he was blown away with my homemade grader, I'll be taking it to his place when he does his driveway. It's essentially a trailer landplane. Good video take care.
I asked for a Land Plane when I bought my tractor last year about this time. The salesman talked me into a box scraper. Said it was the one implement you need more than any other. I even told him I was maintaining a gravel road and driveway. He persisted and I gave in since I figured he knew more than me, Three weeks ago, I bought a Land Plane. It is so much easier to use to maintain my road and driveway. I knew a year ago and I proved it over the last few weeks. I love the box blade but it is not for routine maintenance of the gravel surfaces. Happy Easter!
Watching your videos really has me asking myself if I should live on a farm? I enjoy getting stuff done like this and I can imagine the satisfaction you have after the job is done. You're doing very basic living good work. Planting gardens, splitting firewood, improving your driveway. Adding value to your property and to the experience of those who get to enjoy it. Love your videos Adam! I learn so much from them! Thank you.
The ole pine tree indicator Very effective. Good work - I stuck around!
I'm no tractor expert by any means, but I bought a land plane (with rippers) last year when I bought my tractor and found that it is virtually fool proof. So glad I have this
Hey you should take the tines on your box blade and flip them up. Just use the flap on the back for finish work. Also get a hydraulic toplink so you can dial everything in.
@Karl Roebling eh, I wouldn’t drag the side walls on a box blade sideways... if it was a rear drag blade sure.
Going forward, removing your tailgate will keep it from getting damaged during unload. Love the Channel
you may have set it up as you wanted it but I noticed that the back end was not touching the ground like it was not sitting level but with the back end pointing up not flat, just saying
If you can get a land plane with ripper tines they work amazing. Most gravel drives don't even need to add material. They work great on gravel drives but also work good on dry dirt. I used one to bring 2 acres of lawn to finish grade and it worked just as good as a power rake. Took a little longer but at a fraction of the price its worth it. And by adjusting your 3pt side to side you can even put a nice crown on the drive. Also if you had rear blades on the plane it works great in revers as well. I am not brand loyal but the Land Pride land plane was the best bang for the buck. Came with rippers, front blades, 3/8" skid shoes and adjustable hight scrapers.
I got pretty good with the box blade -- for finishing work I'd make sure she was completely level not only to the tires, but front and rear (also top hole on tractor). For finish smoothing back dragging the bucket in float.
I should have added that I bought a Land Pride with ripper shanks. Pot holes are no problems I still have plenty of uses for my Box Scraper, but I will always want the Land Plane for routine maintenance over a Box Scraper.
They are a wonderful way to maintain a gravel drive. I have that same exact land plane behind my TYM 574, spent a few hours with it yesterday as a matter of fact.
Now drag a section of chainlink fence behind it and you got perfection
I use a box blade with rippers to rough our driveway and entrance road (about a mile long) once, maybe twice a year. Then a land plane to clean it up and monthly maintenance. I put a crown on the roads by adjusting in a slight angle to allow for drainage. I also extended the sides in front to allow for thick gravel so it doesn't pour out the sides.
Looks like it did a nice job. We’ve never tried a land plane on our long driveway. Good thing you have the fence to keep that fast dog contained!
Happy Easter Adam, congratulations on the Land plane. Mike Morgan strikes again! LOL
Hahaha
Nice work just wanted to mention that it looks like your top link was set a little short because the back end of the land plane wasn’t touching the ground. Not criticizing, just trying inform. Take care
Yep. I think I need one of those, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice, we use one at work that we affectionately call the "Bionic Blade".....works like a charm on our service roads.
I have a 1100 foot driveway 12 foot wide. I use a ratchet rake on the bucket to loosen the 2a modified stone when the driveway is wet from rain. I then finish level it with the bucket. The ratchet rake only cost 300 bucks. Most of the time I do this job once a year in the spring when the drive is real wet.
I enjoyed the drone camera work too! High quality video.
Might want to take tailgate off when forking ibc on or off. I wore out a lot of tailgates before switching to flat bed truck. And tailgates are very easy to take off and on quick.
Not so easy anymore with these newer trucks. Backup cameras and push button releases make it more difficult.
I saw that and thought the tailgate is going down. The forklift operator should know it to put weight on that tailgate.
Maybe showing my age last pickup was a 97. Been flat bed since 06. Would never go back to a pickup if your really working it.
My air fresheners should be all tangled up 😂
Welded up my own land plane a couple years ago 62” wide. Usually scarify a dozen passes with the box & finish with the plane.
You were really generous with a C- rating. I would have stopped him the minute he started and had him drop his bed. Then taught him how to load his tailgate first, and to set his chains up properly before he raises his bed. He just didn't have the experience required for the job, and somebody needed to teach him for your benefit and others down the line. And if anyone is wondering who do you think you are. I've put down literally thousands of tons of rock in just about every condition you could find yourself in, be it wet, dry, hot and so cold the rock would freeze in the bed, flat ground and so steep you had to have dozer hook to you. It boils down to training and lots of practice.
I've been using a box blade for a long time to maintain a gravel road. Simply put - a land plane is a better tool for the same job. As others have said, it gives better results with less work.
I used my new Everything Attachments land plane for the first time this weekend. Love it. First tractor too. I got a Kubota L4701. The land plane is the 72"
We have a large land plane also, I’m not a fan of a box blade - I do better with a regular blade, then use land plain, there is a sweet spot on the LP to keep it perfectly level- I haven’t tried the ripper yet, most of roads in the subdivision doesn’t have much rock - does a great job filling the holes
looks like you need to level it a bit front to rear but good job I just tried ours for the first time today
Good explanation between the two implements! Have a Happy Easter!
I've got both and a 300yd driveway of SB2. The land plane is ok but it just moves around surface rocks. I still have to go with scraper blade and pull material back to the middle eventually and also run scarifers on the box blade to break up pot holes that form. The land plane just kicks a few rocks into them and then they just wash out next time it rains. Imo if you've got a long gravel rd to maintain you need box blade, scraper blade, and land plane for best results.
That is an outstanding attachment for working on roads. I had never seen one of those before. It also looks like it is very easy to use. THANKS! I wish I had one of those when I was doing the miles of roads for the rifle range all those years.
Ive been watching your videos for a few months now. When I watched my 1st one I said to myself, "self...I like this guy" he reminds me of my family/buddies from back home. Then after watching this video and saw Sheetz and my jaw almost hit the floor!..I realized were from the same town! I grew up there. Hello from DFW, Texas now..Keep up the good work dude!
Small world. I’ve been to DFW a couple times fir work. I don’t know how you stand the heat. I couldn’t leave the winters here. Love the snow too much
Great video. They were awesome in reverse too, but you need to feather the 3 point hitch a bit. Last tip if you extend the top link so the first cutting edge isn’t on the ground it will hardly cut and will do a much better finish grade.
Grader blades, box blades, and Land planes, all have their uses. But, for finish work a Land plane is hard to beat, they pull easy, not much to worry about. I have one from Titan also. Give it a little slack, don’t be afraid to it float a little. Next thing will be a 10’ chain link fence bolted to it. Lol…
The gravel he was dumping was too wet which caused the problem of unequal distribution.
And he got charged for the water.
That land plane is awesome! great work sir!
Bundle season is coming. I need to get a land plane for around the shop here. I have a box blade but its exactly like you said. Happy Easter Adam. Wish you guys the best.
Happy Easter Andrew. And yeah the land plane really is the way to go for smoothing. Made a huge difference on the driveway
I thought the forklift operator was going to flip that IBC over into your cab. Enjoy the new land plane.
Great job looking Great LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU
Happy Easter nice driveway
Having a land plane was a game changer for my driveway. So much smoother and really fast to use.
As is so often the case, only the person on ground on that particular day will know for sure what works best for them and I’m the same, vegot an old Massey Ferguson tractor that’s a bugger to start but she’s still fit for purpose
I have Titan Attachments on my Branson. It came with them. I have nothing but good things to say about Titan Attachments as well. I will need to get a land plane at some point too. Great video and demonstration as always!
A land scrape rake with leveling wheels on the back, is more versatile, and does both jobs of these two. A rake you set the wheels lower and you can move tons of material, same as the box blade, and you can set the angle you want, or straight on, set the wheels higher and you get a perfect leveling job, with zero lines in it.
Not ment to knock your video but my Dad used to drag a chain link fence with a 4x4 attached to the end across the end with 4 cinder blocks in front of the 4x4. Fence was 6 ft long by 5 ft wide. It did just as good a job, in my opinion.
I don't know about you, but 35* and sunny is really nice weather to me. I can work outside all day, not get tired and not break a sweat.
Have one of those planes but it has 4 teeth for scarifying. Amazing tool
Try buying and using a landscaping rake you can manicure gravel beautifully
It’s funny you just got one of these, I have been looking to build one for my track loader. I just may have to stop over and look at it. Great video!
Anytime
I've used a 6' on my inlaws 2638, they sure do a bang up job. It's just hard to swallow the investment. Cheers!
Before I paved my drive, I used a Woods land plane. They do work really well.
@@jakebredthauer5100 how should the ground be prepared?
Wow what a difference a pass makes.
Park your tractor with LP attached on level concrete pad. Lower LP to point of no touching concrete. Rotate/adjust your top-link to level front and rear of land Plane off concrete same distance front and rear. Try leveling gravel again. Should get it spot on at that point. let us know how that works for you.
Thanks for the info
I liked the way it does the edges as well.
I wish we had one of those before the asphalt came. Would've been very helpful back then.
I drive a dump truck at work, that driver should have lifted the box with the tailgate closed until the load shifts back against the tailgate. Then take off in first gear and pop the tailgate open when you are rolling (2-3 feet) and give it throttle. After you go 40-50 feet start lifting the box the rest of the way. Comes out amazing like that and needs minimal grading work. That driver wasn't taught how to tailgate spread.
Nice job.
Friendly advise, take your tailgate off before you load your truck and leave it off. Get a cargo net. Your distributor will appreciate it and your truck won't get beat up as much. Just sayin 😉
It's nice when everything comes together. Good luck Adam.
you are selling bundels, good for you !
Looks like a very useful attachment!
Great job Adam. Definitely a lot smoother.
Good Video, I'm getting one this week
Great video, Adam. So glad Mile Morgan introduced me to your channel.. His vlog on the Landplane and Box blade is convincing. Good effort on your 1st try. You ran it like you have done it for years.. .Very nice.......Happy Easter...
Great Video!!! Looks like something I may need to look into. Have a Safe Day
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky.
You should get an old gas farmall tractor they are built proof easy to work on and maintained they are the best. It a bonus if you get one with a 2 point fast hitch.
live just 4 miles north of Lamb and Webster, good video!
Dump truck driver helped you out. Dump trucks are not for evenly spreading material. You have a lot to learn young man.
Great video! I wish I had one of those when I did our driveway!
It looks like you need to bring the rear down where it rides flatter on the ground. Your rear blade is barely working.
Happy Easter!
Nice job in the driveway.Happy Easter
You used the 6' I'm in the market for a Land Plane and debating size. I have a 35 hp Kioti and my driveway has hills and is maybe a 1/4 mile less of it flat. What hp tractor were you using in test it looked to move product easily.
Thanks,
Backwoods Texan
How's it do on packed material? I got 3600'+ of driveway. Ripping and grading with the box scrape several times a year ain't the business. Would help if my kin drove off center and didn't turn the drive into a W-shaped two track but I can't help that, even if I talk til I'm blue in the face. Think this implement can help me put less effort into repairing my driveway?
Nice video.
hi there looks like a nice road to me good job john
Hey Adam, looks pretty nice.
Yeah, but what about a driveway that isn't so "flat" in the first place? Mine has up/sharp downs in a couple places. Wonder how it would do on them?
Great job Adam, unfortunately I don’t have a long enough driveway to justify buying one 🤷🏼♂️😉👍🏻
What if your gravel are already packed down and not just freshly put down?
If the country easement access roads are too nice and smooth, everybody goes 90mph.
extend that top link until both edges are cutting!
But can the landline create the Crown in the road? Flat and smooth is nice but there must be a crown right? TY
Good to have both 👍👏🐰😎
Just a little bit of compression on the rear suspension!
How would this work to smooth out a backyard and planting grass?
Morning. If you could only have one which would you choose? And do you think the land plane would work as well on hilly terrain?
How many dump truck loads did you driveway take? I think each truck load is about 12 yards?
The comparison was on point! 👌🏻
