Great Job! Been looking at the GS1560 for my BX25 Kubota. Just recently traded in my Land Pride QH05 quick hitch for the QH15 with the adjustable top link, fix all my QH no fit problems. It requires bushings or adapters on most implements to enlarge the hitch pins on the implements.Works great after all is done.

Bill Burkhart Great video. This is one of the reasons I want a little tractor - I have a long gravel driveway and It looks like I am growing a lawn in it. Drives me nuts - I am tired of spraying weed killer on it. I used to have a skid loader I could clean it up with but its been sold for years now. Need something like what you have. Plus I could use it for snow.

I have NEVER been a fan of this implement but you seem to have a plan in place that allows you to get the most out of it. there are still things about the implement I don't care for but seeing your ability to get such great results does have me wanting to look at this implement again. you have NO IDEA how huge that is because as you can read all over the internet I have NEVER been a fan of these land plains / levelers.

I have a woods Grader scraper, I always pull it with the back of the grader touching the ground. If they meant for the back blade to not touch then it would have been built that way imo. I have not used mine in this fashion but I have used the scarifiers to rip up the base of a very long driveway because of very deep potholes . I dropped the blades level with the bottom of the grader but in hindsight I think if you were to use the rippers I would raise the blades an inch or so, that way you will not carry so much material and cause the tractor to lose traction and spin instead of pull.

You had me at Disk Harrow. You are reviewing all the items on my wish list.

Nice work. I picked up a Woods 72" grading scraper GSS72P (I call it a land plane) last summer and learned with it as I maintained my 5.7 mile long camp road. My learnings are: 1. it works best if level and both blades contact the ground at the same time, 2. the scarifiers are awesome at removing potholes and 3. check your top link mounting bolt torques every time you use it (the top link takes a beating and the mounting bolts on the tractor bracket that attach the top link will stretch and become loose - it happened to me). Thanks for a great video.

Cuts off the high spots and fills the low spots in 1 pass. Well worth the money. And my buddies borrow it as well.

Hello Joey, thank you! I sure enjoyed making the video and can't wait to try it again under warmer conditions.

I own a Land Pride land plane like this one except that it is 72 inches wide. After a couple of years, I added the rear blades and it makes a big difference. Pushing instead of pulling makes the implement much more aggressive and helps a lot to loosen tight packed gravel or dirt. I also have a hydraulic top link that helps a lot to adjust the land plane. The thing is that when you start to pull, it tends to tilt the implement forward a bit raising the rear blade from the ground and letting material flow under it instead of letting it discharge over it. It is even more true when more material accumulates and it tends to tilt more. The hydraulic top link is then a great help to correct the position and get better results. If you have rear hydraulics, it'realy worth to install an hydraulic top link. It works great with a lot of three poins implements.

Use the front loader also, instead of fiddling around trying to scrape back when you brought gravel up to the road, back drag it with the loader bucket.

As for a hydro unit you may find forward and reverse motions effortless and utilize the rear cutting more than I do. 99% is forward motion keeping the fluid gravel flowing over the cutters, dry conditions are best. Keep in mind you are always pulling aggregate away as you showed in the video, so I will use the loader in combination of where I want to move stone and back drag with the bucket. Your video in front of the garage, is a great example of dump and back drag with the bucket, just don't hit the door...lol Like a tiller, as you work the gravel, it will go deeper.

Hello bobbert368, First, the 1025 R did everything I wanted it to do and the price of the new 1025 was the top of my budget at the time. No regrets purchasing it. Great machine!. Trade in value was strong. Moving up to the 2038 R has been awesome, it seems most of my implements recommend a tractor HP to be 20 to 50 HP. The 1025 was on the low side somewhat , but now I'm more in the middle of that range. The 2038 is heavier, and that makes me feel more stable on slopes. I added wheel spacers and never regret doing that. The tractor lifts more, pulls implements with easier, digs deeper faster, lifts higher and many other things I can't think of right now. The 2038 just has a feeling of being a larger tractor. I don't know how to explain how that feels. Thanks for taking time to comment and the excellent question. - Bill

Bill, Imatch & "other" brands can vary widely. Curious about the difficulty you have hooking up to your land plane. Is it width between lower links or is it top hook to top pin? Might check for adjustments in the 3 point tower. It might require unbolting and rebolt to different mounting holes. Just an idea. Hope you get that issue figured out. Measure the hitches on land plane & scarifier. Take note where differences are. Those measurements "should" be near identical.

Hi Joel, I can't argue with your point but, both implements have their strengths. I'm still playing with mine trying become more proficient. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.

Bill is a very good operator. I sold these things for many years from the inventors son. Excellent tool for grading a driveway. For best general grading, the front blade should be a touch higher so the material is flowing over the blades evenly and not filling up the front area. More speed is better if area is long enough. Tighten centerlink to lift rear blade a little if you need to move gravel to other areas. The front blade will fill up allowing to transport material. For final grading, push back blade down with centerlink so you are mainly using rear blade to smooth gravel. It takes more adjustment if rear skids are digging in more than blade. I fixed braking bumps in my driveway 8 years ago with my neighbors blade and they have not reappeared since then. I had so many happy customers with smooth driveways and roads that I sold these to. The best was the water works department bought a 10 ft wide and used with a 100 hp JD. You could drive 55 mph on their gravel road with no bumps. Smooth.
