Can The Land Plane Save Us From Buying More Rock?

- The driveway at Tractor Time with Tim's family farm needed a lot of work. This road gets a lot of heavy use from big tractors and semi trucks causing the road to become hard packed. Tim offered to bring the Tufline Land plane to see if we could fix the driveway without buying more rock.

Glad to see your dad looking well! I always enjoy seeing you and your family working together. I also like how you remember to share tips and information about how to do things.
That landplane is the cat's meow. My blade, even when angled, leaves ridges of stone by the edge of the grass that requires extra passes to get rid of. It also brings up dirt that churns with the stone because it doesn't ride across the stone on flanges like the landplane has. It was wonderful to see your daddy out and about Tim. May God Bless and watch over him, all of your family, and all of us TTWT Channel viewers during these troubling times. You and your family rock Tim. 🙂👍🙋♂️
Thanks Brent! Take care!
...and it's the bee's knees too!
Can't get enough videos of you and your family working the equipment. Your dad makes this one extra special. I would love to do the same with my dad who passed some years ago. Cherish these special moments.
I really enjoy the videos with your family involved. Your dad, brother and Randall are such good people. Good demo of the land plain too.
One of my favorites fo watch! Love the driveway repairs with the land plane!
I have a land plane with scarifiers. The 3320 doesn't have enough traction to pull a land plane with scarifiers in hard packed dirt/gravel. While you can't stall the motor, the land plane with the scarifiers down will bring the tractor to a complete stop with all four wheels turning - even with all of the tires loaded with liquid. I end up using the hydraulic top link to tilt the land plane forward, and then set the 3-point hitch height so that only the scarifiers are engaged and slowly break up the hard packed ground until I can tilt the land plane back level and use the blades to work the surface.
Your dad looked really good. How's he feeling?
I was really impressed on how it seemed to pull rock out of nowhere.
How is Katriel doing? With all the schools and universities closing will she be coming home?
I always really enjoy the videos with your dad, brother, nephew, etc... That land plane did an excellent job. Seems like the perfect implement for gravel driveways.
Yes Yes and yes! I love it when people discover the land plane grader.
Joel Henderson at first I didn’t realize the usefulness and worth of this implement but here I am 10 videos later wanting one. They are hard to find due to COVID-19 and the Tariff war with China but I will eventually get one
Tim, thanks for answering questions that I ask myself when watching. Descriptions and comments are great.
Good family time helping each other
I have been using one for years. I can't say enough about how well it works. Pays for itself not having to but more rock all the time. Never understood why its never been more popular.
This is still one of my favorite videos of yours Tim. Soon I will be doing the same thing to my 900’ gravel drive for the first time. I have a 1025R and 5’ planer and stopped by to review this video again.
I have 75 acres of woods but all around me are large farms. Now that I’m more familiar with the area, I have much more appreciation for the size of your dad’s operation. It’s fantastic!
Dad looks great! Bet he’s counting down the days til planting season!
Whoa the memories. Your Dad's Pioneer cap reminds me so much of my late grandfather. I don't remember him ever being without his Pioneer cap.
So satisfying to watch the stone being pickup and rolling off the back all nice and level and its good to see you arent afraid to hop on the land plane like that and start adjusting the top link 👍
I just got a 6’ land plane without rippers Monday. I’ve found to level and equalize gravel from one end of the road to the other is to level the implement and to make strait passes back and forth. Depending on how uneven your road is you might have to spend all day, but when you are finished it will look great.
Good to see Dad out there with a big smile on his face! Hope he is doing well ! ( and eat a cheese burger ) lol
Blessed to still have your Dad with you. How were you and your brother growing up, did your Dad have to be a disciplinarian or was he always that mellow? Another great vid, thank you.
No, Dad was never a "disciplinarian". We had rules, of course! He had and still has high expectations for us. However, something about his "way" makes us all WANT to do our best to live in such a way to please him. Severe discipline wasn't required much. Just a "frown" or visual displeasure from Dad was sufficient to cut me to the heart.
Hard to explain this in a few words, and to folks who haven't experienced such a wonderful father.
Backing up, like your dad did at the concrete pad, works well. He has the touch with that 3 point lever. On our road, Linda and I team up with the 3046R and the Gator 620i to do what we call "Pot hole" patrol. First, I use the box blade with scarifiers down one notch tilted a little forward to rough up the area around the potholes (we have between 1.5 to 3 miles to do depending on weather and neighbors work schedules). Once the potholes are roughed up and leveled a little bit (with the box blade leveled first, then tilted up in front) we go get gravel with the loader and put it in the gator. Linda drops it on the areas where the road is a little thin, and makes sure to cover the areas where there were potholes. Then I use the front end loader and the Blade to scatter the piles. Then I use the blade on the edges of the road (tilting it to the right a bit) to pull gravel out of the "ditches" and put it up on the road. Takes about 3 - 5 passes to move the gravel from the ditches to the center from each side. Then I hook up the land plane and do what you did on your dads place. With the top and tilt hydraulics, I can tune the front and rear weighting to pull (front down) or spread (front up) as required. Gathering a load and dropping it works sometimes to fill in a little low spot. Like at the fuel tanks...leave a few piles in the road then back over them to push up to the tank. Great job...great camera work too. That thing is one of the right tools. Works best the day after it has rained to soften things up. If really dry, no amount of passes will fill potholes.
That was brother Tom.
@@TractorTimewithTim aaaah. Missed that. You guys are a real team...!
It's called using the foot rake. Works great.
LOVE Randall's enthusiasm
Nice Tim! I love my land plane. It saves me big time on gravel. But like anything else, you have to keep up on a gravel driveway. I drag a section of chain-link fence behind mine to help with the groves the side rails leave. Just an idea. Good video!
What a nice tool that was the best Drag Box I've seen on your show yet Tim did good
Always love it when TTWT is at the farm!
Landscape rake and a land plane are two underappreciated tools that are worth every penny in my book.
I applaud your keeping the grader flat! Most of the videos on TH-cam of this type of implement typically have the back of the grader not even touching the ground. I typically do like you did and put a little pressure on the back blade. I think with the scarifiers digging it would be a good idea to have the blades not touching the ground?
Really good demonstration of the Landplane, Tim. Excellent attachment for gravel driveways. Thanks for sharing. Your Dad has a very kind smile. I see now where you get it. :)) All the best to you and your family. Stay safe and all the best!
Thanks GP! I think you just like the COLOR of this land plane :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim lol nice!
I always like your family videos.
I don’t have a driveway. I have a roller coaster track from all the washboarding. 😬
First on my to-do list as soon as it stops raining is to go at it with the backhoe, pull all the rocks that have come to the surface, and backfill with dirt. Then we’re going to need about $500 worth of gravel delivered. Can’t complain too much though - the last time it’s had attention was in 1986 when it was installed by the contractor who built the house.
Ground looks like New, great maschine!
Works perfect 👍
If you didn’t see the video you would think it’s new rock spread out
You're going to get the Safety Salley's fired up!!
Haha! You're right, he shouldn't be standing on the land plane. He should put a lawn chair on it! ;)
i didn't think it was that unsafe, it was only a bar of metal, nothing spinning.
Nice video tim and that works really good behind the Johnny
Enjoy the time you have with family. It's precious time the Lord lets us have and it will soon be gone when He calls us home.
You dad's looking well.
Nice job Tim keep up the great work
Be safe out there
That's an interesting little cab setup...great video Tim...hope you and your family are staying safe buddy
Dad wanted an air conditioned lawn mower.
I suppose if you’re over 80, you might as well get what you want!
Darn right! That's awesome!
Cheeseburger ballast👍💪🏻! Good to see Dad up and around. I see a lot of your dad in you and Tom.
Glad to see your dad still at it
Looks like the land plane did a very good job on the driveway!
Great to see your father is out and about and doing well👍
God bless you all. Good video man thanks for sharing.
Handy little piece of kit. Makes it look like you just poured fresh gravel
I just love the way a land plane cleans up a gravel driveway. I'd love to have one but really can't justify the price, especially considering I already have a box blade that, when operated with some finesse, will put a good finish on my gravel driveway too. Great video as usual, Tim.
Been debating on one for a while that looks like it works very well!! Thank you Tim
Works well if you have a good base of graded rock. Where I live its all natural rock, and thus its mixed large and small and packed for millions of years, so this will either bounce or get hung on a bolder and either ruin it or stop the tractor. I use a grader and then a landscape rake to move the boulders off the road and then again to finish it. What I don't like about these is the rock goes over the top of the blade, that isn't what you want to do, you want to roll it right then back left and feather it off on the second blade to crown the road
Glad you guys are keeping up entertained during this covid-19 epidemic.
Thanks
We have discussed whether we should say something directly about it....but for now, we have decided that our role is to entertain, not to weigh in on the issue.
Thanks for your comment!
@@TractorTimewithTim Plus, your videos will get demonetized if you mention it, or put it in the title.
Of all the equipment I have the grader box even with the hydraulic top-link is the one piece of equipment I argue with the most. Nice video
Great video as always Tim.
My favorite videos of yours are the ones you do back at the farm.
Agreed maybe I relate more!
The land plane is one of the best piece of equipment to own. Especially if you understand how to use it. But I would definitely step up with teeth it works even better.
I ordered a Landpride GS1560 Land plane last week. Should be here about Tuesday. Can’t wait.
The older we get, the less nimble we are..there is a few seconds of my life I wish I'd have back. Stay safe.
I have a 400' driveway and this looks like a nice tool to have to even it out. I've been using a box blade and loader and it's hard to keep the gravel even. The amazon and UPS trucks throwing it off the road doesn't help. New subscriber.
Welcome to our channel. The land plane is much easier to use than a box blade for driveway work!
I know what you mean Jerome. We have an 1100 ft long gravel driveway and I really need to get a tractor and blade to maintain it.
Just got my woods gs72p for my 3039r. Wow,what a game changer. Yes I can do it with my grader blade but the land plane makes it so much easier and faster and does a better job.
I've repaired this blade many times for my father in-law and brother in-law.We put wear pads the full length on both sides.This will extend the life of the blade much longer than without from the jump.
Very interesting!!!! Implements in action!!!!!
I built a 54 inch land plane out of 3/8 sides and 4x4x3/3 angle blades with snow plow cutting edge. It works well , but is about all my poor little 1025r can handle. I only wish I had figured out how to add teeth.
Another nice video Tim 👍
Love it! Good video!
Tim: "I decided to add some weight. The driver said it was immediately noticeable."
Go hamburgers! 😉
Nice work 😎 I ran over some antlers 16 years ago cutting hay for my dad lol.
That does a good job Tim thanks buddy
Got 2. 1 at farm for a 1/3 mile lane and on at factory for a 2.5 acre graveled lot. Love them.Also have 4 box blades with 1 being a Gannon 6 way. Never use those.Back dragging with a loader bucket works but the landplanes are soooo much faster.
Damn, now I want a bigger tractor! That cab looks sweet. Yeah, but the B2410 is paid for and has attachments specifically for it that wont work with another tractor. :(
Use mine all the time. Only if I have potholes will,I need the teeth to break them up. It is my most used implement on my farm as we have a huge hill and dam and we get washouts after a rain or huge cuts if we get a tropical storm come thru.
Cant wait to get one of those :)
Getting some blades for the rear or back of the plane will also help while backing up
You can tell y’all are family
Good video Tim👍
This is crazy. I was watching this and I was wondering where this was at and it just popped in my head I use to dump that dumpster about four years ago. By the way Randall my name is Randall too.
Cool!
Add an hydraulic top link to your tractor and you can get even better results with that attachment.
I think I might make one of those myself.
I have made something similar for my skidsteer, works great. Thanks for bringing us along Tim!!!!
Dad looks good Tim, hope he’s well. Good video nice work. Jdmich
Tim and family you showed use how a land pride drag realy works
God Bless All
PaK
Ok. Now I want one. But the war dept isn't going to go with the cost of it for just our driveway. Have you tried it out leveling a field or anything? I'd like to be able to tell her what else I could use it for.
Kenneth Roberts I use my woods version of this on a flat track for motorcycles all the time. Only problem I've had is it bouncing from going too fast
I love my land plane. Use it 5 times more than the box grader.
What's the difference between a land plane and a box grader?
the big mistake people make is not digging out the subsoil, you have to do it like you are building a highway for heavy traffic, clay will rise through the gravel when wet as the gravel is compressed through the soft stuff under load thus clay on top gravel on the bottom, Me and others gave this advice to a shipping container re-seller, he never took heed, his yard is a complete basket case and no matter what he does the slush continues to happen, when a dump truck with 13 tonnes of gravel drove over my yard it never made any impression.
Keep dumping rock on it. It will eventually firm up. For the first few years, it takes a new coat every year. After that, it doesn't take much.
@@TractorTimewithTim i am doing a part of my yard, i have done other sections before which turned out all weather perfect, i have reactive clay, gets rock hard when it dries and soft as when its wet, i remove it because I don't want it coming up through the gravel, using rocks are useful in some situations, container guy used rocks, he never listened, far better for him to remove the subsoil clay as his yard is slush when its wet, he has dumped many many loads onto it, gravel from the crusher not cheap when its by the truck load.
Your driveway looks good, if you try it again with the rippers it will pull up even more rock. I just purchased a land pride 7 foot, and it's doing wonders to my driveway.
Love the videos
I think I’m gonna build a land plane. I can get the cutting edges through a local steel supply. Looks simple enough to do
I’m going to make a similar device that attaches to my box blade; with the cutting edge of the box blade being set a little above the plane cutting edges.
@@darkwinter6028 I made a box blade similar to this but instead of a straight blade I used Scarifier blade. Looks similar to a comb . Added wheel like system to the rear. With hydraulic top link you can adjust on the fly. To either dig or lay out dirt. Works great for loam or driveways.
I just did this same process with my EA box blade on my 1025R. Seemed to do the job well enough. This looks like it might be a bit smoother process though?
Nice 👍!!
I'd love one of these for my 1/2 mile gravel road but they cost a fortune! You can buy 3 box blades for the price of one land plane. It's nuts.
I think you should shop a bit harder. They should not be 3x a box blade.
@@TractorTimewithTim The least expensive one I can find under 72" is $1,149 at Rural King. The one you feature in your videos appears to be well above that in price. At that point I'm literally 3X the cost of the box blade we bought from Tractor Supply Co. a few years ago.
Side note: After shopping around some more, I get the idea that prices have gone up substantially on these attachments, perhaps due to COVID and supply and demand issues? The box blade we have is now $799 and it was significantly less money just a couple of years ago.
@@4-LOW First, I'm not sure you need a 72"...unless you have a larger tractor than me.
Second, I suspect you should look at the price of box blades again. Remember that steel prices have gone up dramatically recently.
Good video. How much did that one weigh ? I'm looking at getting one now,
Tim…. You look just like your dad!
Could add a hydraulic top link to help evenly distributing the stone.
A land plane will agitate the top surface.
The problem is the same as always, the base layers (if indeed there are any!) are not installed correctly. The cost of correct installation is negligible compared to the cost of ongoing repairs. Yes the surface will smooth out, but it will inevitably return with the same potholes and ruts in the same places.
Take a look at ancient Roman Road builds. Still in the same condition as they were millenia ago.
awesome
I just bought a new woods 84 in plane for my 4052m. My wife and kids came home and thought for sure I just had someone tailgate me a semi load of gravel.
I believe it! Really does seem like new rock has been spread!
Great video!!!!
Honestly asking. Why scrape up the hard pack instead of adding more? To me I'm thinking the hard pack is done hardened, fill in the low spots so those can harden too. If it dosnt work that way, I'd really like to know
Thats cool 👌👌
Love the videos with the family.
How does a land plane compare to Vinny’s power rake for bringing the old rock back to the top?
We need more Dad!
Unfortunately, dad passed away last year.
@@TractorTimewithTim OMG. sorry. Looked like a wonderful older version of you.
Oh, no worries. He was a wonderful man!
Tim, I've got 1/2 mile of dirt road leading up to my property, no one out here helps maintain it so I'm not going to pay to gravel it. I use a box blade and a regular blade, Do you think this land plane would work on dirt?
Probably. However,, you have seen the totality of my land plane experience. These two projects. So, I am far from an expert.
yes t will make sure you do this in dry weather will also put a crown on road if used the right way
@@mikenobbe1135 awesome, thank you
The company that makes those planes has instructions on how to set them up. It's not just hook-up and drag, there is a process to follow for the best results.
“Hook up and drag” works pretty well.
Tim, would happen to know where I can get one of them remote top link adjusters? Smiling broadly!
Would you say that a landplane is worth getting if you already own a boxblade?
Ha! The top link adjuster employed here is VERY high maintenance!
If you can afford, yes I think the land plane is an incredible driveway tool.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you, Tim!
