I the crown of the driveway was too high. So I graded it to lower the crown. I drive a little car back to forth to work. And the bottom of the car would hit the driveway in spots. I think that's a good indicator that the crown was too high and needed lowered.

Making a screen to drag behind you to really smooth it out is a great last step. Chain link fencing works great for that.

Having the right equipment sure does make life easier

Once you use the land plane enough you will learn how to gradually lift it as you’re moving to feather out the material it’s carrying and not leave any piles. Also, you’ll figure out when/how to use it in Reverse to carry grade and spread material more quickly and accurately, such as in that dumpster area. They’re nice attachments, though, and well worth the money.

It doesn't seam that long ago you where installing the driveway. Time flies when you're having fun!!

the dog laying down inside the land plane was the absolute best.

Great product and great results.

Another good video. Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas loved the dog laying on the tractor great add🌲🌲🌲🌲

Love the sound of a gravel driveway

Merry Christmas to you, Rebecca, and all the animals.😊🐾🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is mad, I was just thinking of you Evan and up pops your video 👍

Nice TYM65, I have the same one. With stereo and air, I can go all day long during alfalfa season...

i love that the pooch just lays in the fresh gravel on the leveler in the driveway :) something my dogs would do

I have wanted one of these forever! Jealous! Nice video sir!

Your dogs crack me up.

Great job Evan, driveway looks great. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Evan, the land plane is really needed for a gravel driveway and you did a good job for the first time using the land plane. If you would like some tips, go to Outdoors with the Morgans and Mike would be happy to show you some tips he has learned using his land plane on his property. He is in western Pennsylvania.

thats a really nice tractor.

Would without a doubt buy products from any company that packs their stuff this well, even when its big and beefy metal like this, shows concern and benefits for their customers And you really made a great job with that driveway if it has lasted so long and that well, you drive a lot on it so must have been a great basejob made And I think that somebody found themself a new gravel dogbed :D

Good morning! From someone who has only ever used a plain scraper blade on a driveway, I am envious! Those things do a really nice finishing job and are fairly easy to use. I have two observations from my experience and one from observing a KZfaqr who is a fantastic operator of such equipment. First, my dad told me once that potholes don’t go away by filling them - they have to be cut down below their depth a little and the whole thickness of gravel re-establish. We had a quarter mile drive like you do, and the road past us is now paved but when I was born, it was a 7-mile gravel county road. Dad said the county guys who ran their graders told him that trick about the potholes. Those scarifiers could be useful to cut them out but you’d have to be careful not to get into the base rock. Second, Dad said the gravel on our drive migrated out down the slope from the crown, and we usually had to angle the blade to bring it back to the center to maintain the crown. Most of the time people running land planes run outside in on the right to do this. I couldn’t see your crown vs flat situation, but it does look like you moved the smaller aggregate off the center to dig up the 3” base rock. If you can get back on it sometime it’s not frozen, now that the grass is dead, try running your right side on the outside and see if the smaller rock can be brought back in. Third, it appears the cutter blades are set pretty aggressive and you may want to get a 1/8” flat strap between the runners and the sides to soften it a bit. Probably want a season of experience this way before committing much effort toward that though. If you carry a little more weight on your lift arms it might be ok as is. Mike Morgan of Outdoors with the Morgans has done comparisons of scrapers vs box blades vs land planes. I think he has a Land Pride model. You could reach out to him and ask how deep his cutters are below the runners. I know his can run in reverse and cut - it has cutter bars going both ways. He finds a flat spot and works in reverse so the tractor doesn’t go up and down and propagate that undulation to the implement (like what happened to you when your wheels went from the gravel pad to the yard at the dumpster pad). Anyway, the road looks a lot better. Nice and smooth, nice and wide. Good to start the winter in good shape!

I have a land plane and love it. Does a great job.

Driveway looks much better now! Well done!😊 👍🏻

....lookin' good, nice job..

they work great. you can also use them in reverse, and they will smooth things out great.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Rebecca. Blessings for 2022. From Texas The Lone Star State 🌟

Viewed, Liked, Share, Subscribed... Love the driveway maintenance, love the land leveler usage!

Trying to convince my folks they need one of these for the property now. Great demonstration. Thanks for sharing Evan.

Love Titan equipment......I could watch videos line this all day long.

That’s awesome, boy you got the dogs workout in! The one was funny when she laced down on the pile, behind the tractor! Lol 😂 🥰

Haha! I was just starting to think 'uh...why don't you put it inside the shop'.😄

It will be interesting to see after another rain and a few weeks how the driveway looks when things have settled back down.

Very happy with your content,love watching your channel.

That thing works great!!

Evan love the work you done on your Roads and a landplane his a must for gravel road , Mery christmas to you and your wife and familys too .⛄☃

Looks great 😊👍

A long handle pipe wrench would make both of those adjustments super easy

Great job...but of course once again your dog stole the show...so funny and cute!

greetings mr. evan; the reason the grass/weeds is coming through the edge is because the limbs are hanging close enough to make drivers dodge them thus allowing the weeds to come through where the drive is not being driven on.....................g

Been using a land plane for about 4 years now, and they are the bomb, wouldn't be without one. I do gravel driveway repairs. As a side note, please get your electrical panel cover back on in the shop before something really bad happens. We electricians notice those things. They work very well for dirt as well. Thank you, Dan.

What a difference after you went over the drive way. All looks good.

Glad to see this video, I am glad I bought a box blade instead of the land plane

My Grandpa used to have a similar scraper box on their old Massey Ferguson loader.. I remember them saying it was originally a landscaping tractor, but since the box scraped smooth, it worked amazing for scraping up the concrete after the cows..

Nice job Evan. Thanks for sharing. I watch about 3 of your videos a day

Thanks for the video, considering the same plane implement. You've got the rear remotes...upgrade to a hydraulic top link...you'll love it. On your tractor the only cost is hose, coupler, cylinder. Makes planing, blading so much easier.

Being able to do the work inside the cab of the TYM had to make the work so much better…one might even say fun…lol

It is so enjoyable watching you build up your farm because you know what your doing and you do it well !! You and Rebekah are both intelligent, hardworking, and kind people!! I'm excited to see what you have accomplished with the barn! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Hi, Evan! I absolutely love your new implement! It should serve you well. I love watching your “a man and his tractor” footage.

Your driveway is looking good.

Great video I'm glad you wore some paint off the new tool . Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear stay safe

Wow that box blade is awesome! I've never seen anything work that good! Enjoyed watching! Merry Christmas!

We used box blades forever and then bought a land plane. They are a game changer! Easy to use! Works great.

I know another KZfaqr has one and his driveway is 5 miles long. That's a better implement than the box blade

Driveway looks better, good job, looks like you made a good worthwhile purchase for the farm. You and Rachel have a Merry Christmas.

WOW, what a Great job... Practice makes perfect... Our right-of-way sure needs this done, too - Thanks for sharing....

Merry Christmas to you and Rebekah ...

Evan, you can also grade with it with your tractor in reverse. Makes touching up those ends easier.

love to see the progress each year. Reminds me of our farm 25 years ago and the progress we have made one year at a time. Just keep plugging away at it and each year and added piece of equipment makes it get easier and easier.

I have a 38HP tractor that pulls a 5' box blade fully loaded. I usually run it slow with auto idle and it rarely might bog down if the box it totally full, but all I have to do is idle up and it pulls.... Rarely need to take it off auto idle. A land plane is easier to pull than a full box blade. I touch up the road a couple times a year. I love how the road looks new again after a few passes. Good old crusher run packs nice.

That’s a great piece of equipment really did a great job with your driveway. Wishing you and Rebecca a Merry Christmas

That's a really cool piece of equipment, great job!

Enjoyed seeing how it works

Another great video keep it up Evan are used to live in that state of Illinois Pontiac now I live in Tennessee love every bit of it

Just for reference. I pull a 72” EA land plane with a 35hp Kubota with absolutely no problem. Med range and 4wd engaged. The only time it’s and issue is when the box is full and I’m climbing a 10% grade. Then the l3560 kicks back down to low gear. The only problem is it stalls your speed…and speed is your friend with the LP. 👍🏻

It looks real good to me.

The driveway looks great. Nice job, Evan The very best of the holidays to you and your family.🌲

Evan, the best time to use that with the rippers is when you've had a good rain. Doing that, you'll increase the compaction on the driveway.

Wow I always was curious if the land leveler works better than a box blade. Looks way better to me.

Amazing piece of equipment, thanks

I love my box blade but, I can definitely see the land plane does a wonderful job. You got some great footage Evan. I believe my next new implement will be a 5' land plane. Thanks buddy for sharing your experiences.

Great implement for your driveway!

Hi Evan. From around the 14.00 minute mark You can see that the top locking pin has gone missing from the top Link on the three points link. You may have lost it as soon as you drove out of the shed. Regards. David in Oz.

Thank you for showing the planner at work. Never seen one used before. It's a great grader For the 3 point hitches. Love your help, my little guy. Mini Australian, he would be getting in the bucket also, wanting to have me throw the rocks for him. They are such great dogs, never get in way when I am on my Backhoe. I usually have him sit on my lap, he loves to just sit there as I'm grading, just watching very intensly. I'm trying to teach him how to operate tractor. Your video is a great how to do it video, for that Land planner.

everything I've ordered from titan came with the metal frame which is nice. I just ordered a land plane from someone else and it was on a pellet only, risky but made it ok.

Really enjoyed that, thanks. And I learned a bit, too :-)

The dog liked the fluffed up gravel.

I have a Kubota L3301, that pulls a 6ft Land Plain regularly.

Your dogs crack me up! 🤗

Great piece of equipment. It will serve you well. You are right, it works best when the dirt and gravel are dry. The more you use it the more you will like it. They weigh right at 100 lbs per foot of width. Yours may be a little more because of the rippers and mount. Merry Christmas to both of you.

Thanks for sharing

from the Netherlands thanks for the video

Looking good be safe merry Christmas to you all

Enjoyed the video, and just subscribed. Thanks for sharing!

Good video

Hi Even,looks like the scraper u bought is doing a real good job of your driveway/Ed from Vermont

Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and family.

I love my land plane I've had it a couple of yrs they are built like tanks like others have said just lift up on the 3 point and it'll feather out the material.

At the beginning of the video...I thought you were a genius. You had made a loader bucket out of a garbage dumpster🤔🤔🤔me thinks I'll be moving a lot more mulch around 🤣

Great job! I'm most impressed about FedEx showing up..

Love it!

Nice work!

You lost the lock-pin @14:21 in the video 😉 Great video btw...I just found your channel and subscribed 🙂

Great job on driveway. Basically did your whole driveway with no linch pin in toplink pin glad pin didn't fall out.

That was a great purchase. I can see many years of use for this tool. Happy you were able to get the one you wanted. Have a Blessed day.

Great machine! Also makes a good dog bed!

Looks good doing a nice job

The driveway turned out nice!!

Looking Good Really enjoy your videos 👍

I am so glad that you decided to pay it with your own money, it could be a mess otherwise.

Great purchase ! Merry Christmas!
