Throw out a helpful tip for you: The blades on the landplane are slanted to one side. If you stay on the right side of the road (from your perspective in the cab) and work back and forth, you'll slowly (very slowly) build up a crown on the road. This will help the driveway shed water into the ditches. Otherwise, good work. That branson seems like an amply capable machine.

Hank, nice video. Yes land planes are nicer than box blades. Luckily my dealer recommended the land plane when I purchased my tractor and I had it in my package instead of the standard box blade. I know that you worked that gravel pile for the video. I usually get my gravel man to spread it when he delivers it. He doesn't charge any extra to do that and he is quite good at it. I then just take the land plane over it a couple of times to dress it up and make it a little more even. Of course I do also prep it with the land plane before he comes with the gravel. Life is good, may God bless!

Millings is the absolute best material you can put on your driveway if you're not going with pavement or concrete. I actually prefer millings over pavement. I have installed several driveways with asphalt millings and it's not even comparable to crush or gravel. Gravel is great for a good solid base but I would never ever go back to gravel as a top coat finish after seeing all the benefits of asphalt millings. Benefits: 1.cost for material is less $9.5-11.5 per ton (in the middle Tennessee area) 2. Dust (almost dust free after it bonds together) 3. Wear (doesn't grind away every time you drive on it) 4. Quiet (much quieter than gravel) 5. Packs. (It will literally melt and bond back to asphalt over time doesn't berm like gravel does) 6. Maintenance. When applied correctly (good drainage)the maintenance is basically none. No more Grading, or adding material. 7. Smooth. The surface is smooth and flat like pavement. 8. Appearance. Beautiful driveway that looks like a paved drive. 9 Grass. Grass does not grow up the middle like gravel drives applied thick enough. 10. Water repellent. Water sheds off and doesn't soak in like it does with gravel 11. Snow. Millings will heat up because it's black and snow melts faster. Just my .02 worth

Have you thought about installing a hydraulic tilt? That would help slope the driveway

@HamiltonvilleFarm

3 жыл бұрын

Yes that would be awesome. I need to look into those more.

Can the blades be adjusted to be even with the bottom of the shoes? Is it possible to have blades on the front and back of each arm at the same time? In other words, 4 blades.

A box blade can do more than just leveling, whereas a land plane only does leveling, so it depends on what you want to do...
