EverythingAttachment I built one similar to this for my skidsteer, after using this on driveways the customers really appreciate the savings on stone plus I get the work twice a year rather than once every 5.
@Wade, most definitely. www.EverythingAttachments.com
@Wade most definitely! More than ever before.
@Wade We sent you an email. Thanks!
Ted, Love the videos keep'em coming. From personal experience I found putting a crown in the road prevents potholes by allowing the water to run off the side rather than pooing up.
everyone is worried about the crown, if you want crown in the drive way (its gravel, its gonna drain if its of sufficient thickness) just get a 48" leveler and do it in halves with the blades angled to the center. this tool is an awesome tool.
Came back again to listening to the sound of the grading process.... love it!
Loving this video! Another month watching again!
I dont have a crown in any road or driveway on our farm and manage them all with this tool. you cant beat it!!!
Back again! Love watching this video!
Yeah Peanut is famous!! We need a "Peanut cam" so we can see what he's doing at the controls & learn as well....
Thanks for all the great videos.
Thanks for watching! I'll tell Peanut he needs his own cam!!
Great video! Love the sound of the machinery and the grading being done!
Once again Ted, you guys have done an excellent job showing one of the products that you sell being used. TH-cam looks to be an excellent way to market the items you sell. I like how you try to take the time to explain how to set up & use each item you show here on TH-cam. Thanks.
Because the blades are sweeping from right to left if you always run on the right side of the road it will pull the material from the outside of the road and drop it in the middle creating a crown.
Love the video, back watching again!
That's a sweet tool for cutting a road. Can't believe the job it did. Thatd be a week of work with a boxblade.
If used correctly you can crown your drive with it. I do mine with a 6'. You merely ride on the left side and raise the adjusting arm so that when raise the lifting bars the outside arm has slack and doesn't move. Or vice versa you can lower the adjusting arm and the left arm will rise on its own. With this you would need to be on the opposite side of the drive. This tool is a dream for anyone with a long drive. Mine is around 1000 ft. These don't leave dips as bad as box blades.
I used to use 1 where it had angle adjustments on it via hydro remotes in then they work great because you can adjust it to crown the road
Always good information on these videos.
I like the way it mixes the dirt with the gravel , 👍🏼 . It would work great on a properly installed driveway but in some cases you have to work with what you got . Hook me up with one and I’ll let you know how it work but so far I’m good . At some point I do want one for maintenance .
Rewatched! Great attachment!
One Word "awesome", Loved this video. Got to get one. Thanks for sharing

I'm impressed!
Wonderful tool for what it's designed for. Love the tractor..
Hi, Ted! I like this leveler! In the end you can pull the excess/ larger rocks with the landscape rake...windrow, throw and done! Great video!
Great job and commentary 🇬🇧🙏🏼
I think thats great out come and requires alot les talent than the box blade
John Markelewicz The specs on your Kubota show it is 44.5 inches wide, the smallest size we have is our 60" that weighs 458 lbs. It seems that your should be able to pull it fine, as long as the road isn't a steep incline. If you have any questions give us a call.

How you are
yeah man i love this! ive been driving my 420 ford model tractor since i was an embryo without my mom knowing cuz she didn't want me to lose any cells. every night, i used to go to my garage, and secretly use the tractor. my mom found out and she gave me a spanking! now im still in my mom's womb and im waiting for her amniotic fluid to burst. im in my third trimester, and i wanna ride my 420 ford model tractor!!!!
Neat attachment , never seen one quite like this, it works wonders.
Use an angle blade instead of a land leveler. A land leveler is great for leveling land. A road is not supposed to be level. That's why they build crowns into roads. Get the right tool for the right job. Angle blade for road maintenance.
An angle blade will only pull the material from the edge to the middle leaving a pile that has to be dealt with. These are privaget driveways and a crown is really the least of anyone's worry. Land planes are used because they roll the larger rocks to the surface and the fine dust and silt is washed away. This road has more than enough rock in it to last with proper maintenance. You can tell that they have not done anything with this road for years and years. Using a land plane monthly will keep your driveway clean and free from sunken and sloppy wet areas. Thus the reason to level it out. Driving over it with out maintenance will create those ruts that will turn to mud and pot holes.
Angle blade moves material from one side to the other.
Box blade moves material from one areas to another.
Land plane level the materiel where it is at.
As you can see there are needs for each one yet a land plane on a driveway is really the way to go.

I have and use a couple of these. If you just think about how you are running the machine, these work very well to blade a road flat, cut down a crown, or build a crown, even build a new road. If you get a model with scarifiers mounted, you can run them about 1 inch deep, just enough to loosen the top for blading, and this job would have gone much faster.
Man that came out great!!!! 😎😎
Awesome like a opossum! I just found you and peanut. I love your videos. I learn something from every video and I grew up on tractors. M.;)
Even though this implement is working quite nicely, taking the crown off of the road is detrimental, you should maintain the crown. Perhaps it would be better if you stick to the right hand side of the road only.
Great video Ted. Good job peanut. I think i'll go outside and make one of these and not use the spike either. did a great job on the road.
Way ta go Peanut!!!
I have the SO scraper 6' that same brand it is built like a tank
Actually the attachment automatically puts a slight crown in the road. You may think it is level but the angle of the blade will automatically force more material to the middle. And that is the way you want it as it allows for water to be carried off the road as quick as possible. Actually a 7' leveler is too big for a driveway like this. A 5' leveler would work perfect.
Riff Raff Rock. A good name for a high school band.
I believe it is actually rip rap rock which would also make a good band name ;)
Peanut for President! Can he mountain dance or play a banjo?
You all ready have a peanut as president.
Old video but I will comment anyway... You can keep or put in a crown in a road or driveway simply by adjusting the link arm. Super hard pack just takes a few passes. Some land planes have scarifiers....
I'm quite sure the scarifying shanks would make a big difference.
Awesome job.......great tool...
Is the total weight of the land blade used to grade? Or is the height adjusted and held by the hitch? Thank you.
Thanks Ted appreciate
Me gusta el implemento, lo unico que agregaria es un lastre para sobrepeso en el cajón, esto permitiría que no tenga tantos sobresaltos cuando encuentre la herramienta una piedra grande o suelo duro, esto hará una nivelación mas perfecta.
Would you be willing to do a comparison "shootout" between Everything Attachments, ABI, Domor, Priefert, Woods, & Landpride graders? Noting weight, blade angle, complete dimensions and ease of use. Not to mention torture test.
I'd like to see that myself
Why not try a back plate, an I beam 8-10 inches, to help move and level more, I have seen one done and it works like a charm to create a crown in all roads
That did I nice job.
Need to do a video like this using the EA bionic blade!
Cool. Good stuff.
Good video, thanks. How do these work if the driveway has a hill? Do you pull it with the 3 point level or on float?
Nice one, would be great for land levelling too if a little wider.
Looks like a brand new driveway
i think a couple of wheel weights mounted on there would work nice. i know that is probably not recomended. but it would stop that small bit of "bucking:. im one of those guys who will go buy a new piece of equipment and cut it up and make it better for my needs lol
This site still work? I wanted to order one but parts of the site appear to be broken
Every time the tractor passes the camera zooms past the model number and straight to the attachment!!! Is this the Kubota MX5100HST? Looks like it...
I think I made a mistake. I wanted to smooth out my driveway a little. It is a very packed logging road with large 3" or larger stone. I used my rake and it pulled up a lot of stone on top and now its such a rough ride. Oh my goodness it will chip your teeth. Should I just rake off all the big rocks I can and then add crush run on top?
Why would you want to take the "Crown" out of the road structure, they are there for a reason ?
On a paved road, they help the road shed water into the gutters. On a gravel road, the crown happens because of gravel displaced from the tire tracks. That results in the water collecting and flowing in the tire tracks, and rutting them out worse. Dispersing the crown fills the tire tracks back in and makes them less prone to erosion.

That's the difference between rated X and rated XXX tractorin', right thar :)
Good job ! What size of tractor would you need to pull a 7 or 6 footer? How well with big rocks and sandy loam? We grow big rocks here in New Hampshire.......
Cool Attachment....but don't you want a small crown to help run off?
You and me would think so because if no crown water sits on road & when driven on makes puddles turn into huge potholes.
Yet another reason this tool is junk. Need a better took that will do one pass on each side of crown ripping, and then spreading and packing with little to no bounce.
Do you guys over there put salt on your gravel roads?
In the rain of working.
Does your business build those?
I guess i don't see why you would want to get rid of your crown? Thats what gets the water off to the sides instead of puddling up on your flat spots because then when cars drive through the puddles the splash pushes the rock out creating pot holes. Just my opinion but we got about a 100yrd gravel drive and the crown seems to work best for us.
Sorry if this is been asked before, what tractor were you using with it? I have a L2501 tractor, will that pull a 7 foot blade?
Seems like you would want a high center so rain would run off.
Great tool, however I do have a ? I have bought one and it works great, but how do you set it up so that it will pull the gravel that gets built up on the edge of the drive to the center of the driveway. I always run on the right side of the drive way but it is not pulling it over to the left side of the grader. I thought that was why the left side was further back than the right side.
Hi
Do u guys have an offset finish mower that works off the pto just bought a dr that it's own motor not a very good machine
Looks good but what if you need the road to be crowned? Here NH we need to keep the water off the road. Any thought's?
Thanks for watching! Create/maintain a crown by adjusting the tractor's side linkage to make one side lower than the other. Check out our newest, Xtreme model land levelers here: www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm
I would be interested in a small on for my large garden tractor that runs CAT-0 3pt hitch implements. I can't seem to find one small enough though. Can't justify a larger tractor for my home.
Hi
im no operator but dont you think they should have leveled the unit out on the blacktop befor they started . i would have
Do you have any used equipment?
I'm new to this and wondering why you'd want to remove a crown? Doesn't a crown help with drainage off of the road?
The need for a crown may vary, but you can maintain a crown by
adjusting the tractor’s side links if desired.
Just subbed your channel, good 411! A question about setting up the leveler; I see you had to lengthen the top link to get more cut on the back blade, but as your dragging are you applying down pressure on the rig or letting it "float"? Also, can a person create a crown on the center of the driveway by adjusting the lift rods on the 3 point so your right lift arm is lower and left lift arm is higher. Of course lower side to the outside of the driveway.
Thanks! Yes, top link adjustment is necessary to get it dialed in so it will produce the best results for your particular application. No down force is being applied, so a heavier model should produce better results faster. Our new EA Xtreme models have an aggressive 10 degree cutting edge angle, which also helps! You can adjust the tractor's side links to create/maintain a crown. Check out all of the current models we manufacture here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm
Go Peanut!
How would that work with 2" crushed stone and a slope?
A land lever should work ideally. You should check out our Xtreme model here: www.everythingattachments.com/Land-Leveler-Land-Plane-With-Scarifier-Rippers-p/eta-land-leveler-ws-2.htm
Why would you want to flatten the crown?
Peanut? That's what Roslyn Carter calls jimmys Willy.

Will this unit work on a dirt road? A mile long
Lets just deposit the large stones in the yard. They're great for the mower!
you don't want to take the crown out of a road
Are both of the blades set at an angle?
Yes, at the perfect angles to produce optimal results. See our current models here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

so I fill out the form on your website regarding an implement and 6 days later still no response....
I do not see an email from someone fitting the description of your name, but you're welcome to resend or just give us a quick phone call at 828-464-1200. Thanks!
on our farm we need one, would u send one to england?
We have shipped implements going to places all over the world, all you need to do is find an exporter here in the US, and we will ship it to them. Almost all exporters are within our free shipping zone on the east coast.
well how much does it get some one to ship it over here? because here it will be in the thousands!!
mining mayhem That is something you would have to set up with the exporter, we don't deal with them other than ship the attachment to the exporter you have made arrangements with.
okay thanks for the information!
Newbie tractor question: do you set the 3 point level all the way down or something higher and adjust as you go?
All the way down, the outside edges ride on top ofthe gravel and keep it from digging too much
nice

Is this in North Carolina?
Will this work in a rough grassy lane?
Sure! It probably won't be very grassy when you're finished. I'd go with a model with ripper shanks. The best can be found here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm
What is rate tell
how much does it cost?
What size Kubota are you using to pull the Land Plane?
It’s a Kubota MX5100
great for your sand soil...cant see it being any use for anything rocky... seems you loose the crown tho
Put four or more sacks of quikkrete or sand bags on it and see how much better it grades.
It can help lighter models because weight definitely produces results. We've since designed our own model and it is taller, deeper and HEAVIER, so additional weight isn't needed.

Why would you take the crown out??
Don’t you want a gravel drive to be packed and hard?
Why would you want something that is going to take the crown out of the road? The crown helps get the water off the road to keep if from washing out.
I have a private road out by one of my properties that I am trying to put a crown on the road. What is really sad is there is only 2 of us that blade the road, everybody else does not help out one bit and there must be 20 people that use the road, and 1 place out there is running a business that really tears up the road quickly, hauling out brick, marble, and pulling trailers with all type of equipment and nobody thanks us for all the work that goes into trying to keep up the road.
But I am using a box blade and just purchased a 7' 3 point blade trying to put a crown on the road, did not help it when I did it last week it dumped 3.5" of rain on it and washed it out and made a sloppy muddy mess for everybody.
only way I would know would be to start from the middle and work out digging it deeper, best thing to do it borrow a blade and set it to dig the sides back out and reshape the road. I bought one so I could do my own as well as the private road that goes to my property, seems as though every time I do it, it rains within a few days and makes a big mess out of it,
It also does not help that some Hispanics that live down the road are running a business out of their place and use the road 100 to my 1 at least, and hauling big loads all the time and also speed down the road every time I fix it, and they have never said thanks, offered to help, or even do one bit of work to the road. We got over 3" of rain last week and the small bridge that is in front of my place that I do not even use was under water, he had the never to tell me that I needed to add another 36" pipe to help the water flow under the road from his place... I told him to piss off and do it himself, and that I did not need nor ever use that bridge and could careless if it was even usable, I did not need it to get in and out of my property. I thought I would throw that little part in when it comes to shared roads...
yup, they all love your handiwork and are to damn slack to help, buy some fuel, lunch etc. story of my life.
Shouldn’t take the crown out of the road, that will cause water to stand in the road
you don't want the road flat. it needs a crown or slope.
Don't you want a crown to drain water off the sides?
