One of my favorites fo watch! Love the driveway repairs with the land plane!

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.

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 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.

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!

Tim, thanks for answering questions that I ask myself when watching. Descriptions and comments are great.

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.

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. 🙂👍🙋‍♂️

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.

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.

What a nice tool that was the best Drag Box I've seen on your show yet Tim did good

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.

Yes Yes and yes! I love it when people discover the land plane grader.

I applaud your keeping the grader flat! Most of the videos on KZread 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?

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.

LOVE Randall's enthusiasm

Good to see Dad out there with a big smile on his face! Hope he is doing well ! ( and eat a cheese burger ) lol

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

God bless you all. Good video man thanks for sharing.

I ordered a Landpride GS1560 Land plane last week. Should be here about Tuesday. Can’t wait.

Good family time helping each other

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?

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

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.

Ground looks like New, great maschine!

It's called using the foot rake. Works great.

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

Nice work 😎 I ran over some antlers 16 years ago cutting hay for my dad lol.

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.

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!

Great video as always Tim.

Nice video tim and that works really good behind the Johnny

I always like your family videos.

Landscape rake and a land plane are two underappreciated tools that are worth every penny in my book.

Handy little piece of kit. Makes it look like you just poured fresh gravel

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.

Looks like the land plane did a very good job on the driveway!

You dad's looking well.

That does a good job Tim thanks buddy

Love it! Good video!

Another nice video Tim 👍

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.

Works perfect 👍 If you didn’t see the video you would think it’s new rock spread out

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.

Getting some blades for the rear or back of the plane will also help while backing up

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.

Nice 👍!!

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.

I think I might make one of those myself.

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.

Could add a hydraulic top link to help evenly distributing the stone.

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.
