Great video Tim. I like the tire wash to keep things clean. The land plane did a great job maybe the scarifiers would have been a bonus if it had them.

The material is asphalt millings. A great material for high traffic area's and hilly driveways. I always recommend rolling them on a warm sunny day. The A/C reactivates in the heat and compacts and Bond's back together. Love the video and keep them coming

Hey Tim, I have a JD 4066R and to me the land plane is the best tool for leveling, as well as crowning driveways. As someone note below a hydraulic top link is indispensable. To put the crown on a driveway I have a hydraulic cylinder on my right (looking at it from the rear) draft link which will automatically re-level. Both can be controlled from the cab. I put a magnetic angle gauge on the land plane that can be seen from inside the cab. I then don’t have to get off the tractor to check the angle. Also as someone noted below I have rippers on the land plane. The rippers are hydraulically controlled also, it’s all about low production times, and it’s a fun toy lol. I run my land plane level. When level you have both bars on the gravel and they do a great job of loosening the top level. I like crushed asphalt on drives and parking lots. I’ll normally run across it first with just rippers. To me it seems to make the project go faster. I enjoy watching your video’s. As a side note with a hydraulic top link you may be able to use it for more downforce? It would save you from have to fabricate block/tractor weight holders if your land plane doesn’t already have them.

Good job, guys. You can't do much better working in winter with wet material. God bless! Your not getting rich, but it's the fellowship.

Interesting video to watch. I use a spring fork to fill holes in my slag drive after winter, but I think the Land Plane would work better, thanks Tim.

This looks to have been the PERFECT job for a grader scraper box. The scarifiers dig in great, and the box moves a lot of material fast. I think it would have cut the work time in half or maybe even better. Looks great in the end though. Like you said, the plane is the right tool for finishing.

Hi Tim and Christy very nice job nice video

Nice job! Another great episode of Tractor Time With Tim. I never really had a good idea of what power you had with the 1025R.

Just simple seat time with a particular piece of equipment or implement cuts plenty of time off over length of time. Great video and honesty.

Great video, just throwing this out there, Landpride has adjustable scarifiers on their landplanes. A real nice accessory. Probably the easiest rear implement to use.

We call it slag up here in Canada. Works great for driveways! Thanks for all your videos, we bought an acreage last year and I'm almost ready to pull the pin on a new 1025R thanks to your videos and information! I wasn't sure a 1025R would be big enough but you've shown that they are a very versatile machine.

You just reminded me that I owe you a big thanks you. I got the edge tamers and they are great for my use cleaning snow around the yard for the dog this winter in Maine. So when you see the guys from R2 thank them as well. Thank you again....

Great stuff that land plain is a fine tool!!!!

Tim the one my neighbor has it has rippers on it if you need them.PS level it up and the back half will take the over flow and help with the leveling. I've used it many times and it works!

Awesome job and should get weight for that land plan helps out a lot and less back and forth. I did for mine for really compacted dirt and rock works amazing

Thanks for taking it slow and explaining what you were doing and why.

Tufline, built in Columbus MS. Have been to their plant several times. About an hour south east of TUPELO MS.

Tim for a first time your end result with the box blade is nice. Great use of bolt on bucket rippers.

Practice makes you better

Wanted to point out that Land Planes (Grader Scrapers) are available with scarifiers in sizes appropriate for SCUT, CUT, and smaller Ag utility tractors. They, of course, will be more expensive. That said, those bolt on teeth on your bucket certainly got the job done.

Informational and entertaining! Another great video Tim and Christie.

Love your videos. I now own a 1025r got a lot to do to it like yours but one thing at a tim.

One minute of tie saves one hour of repair. looks good 👍👍👍

Liked and Subscribed. Love rhe commentary and rhe smooth way you communicate the strategy!

Love the comentary...commentary.... looking good! Great video

That’s right down the road from my house! I’m gonna have to drive back there one day to see how it looks now

FIRST have a great weekend Tim & Fam, enjoy the plane

I love my Woods box grader, it is built heavier and comes with scarifiers however.

If you have pot holes you do not have sufficient drainage if you can visualize where water needs to go always use your laser level or I’d recommend getting a grown gauge to show percent of slope

The driveway repair turned out great with the land plane!

Nice 👍

very good

Nice and fun. Cheer's from Belgium.

The land plane I have has scarifiers which makes all the difference in being able to break up the surface. I use it in conjunction with a hydraulic top/tilt kit. This allows me to tune how much the scarifiers dig in by tilting the front of the land plane down through shortening the top link and then smoothing out the surface by leveling the land plane by lengthening the top link. You really need to get a hydraulic top link and side link on one of your tractors.

A motor grader would repair this in two passes. Time saved .quality work.long stretch can be done and drainage channels worked

Recycle asphalt in the cold works alot harder. Go back in the summer and spread it around again. The summer heat will make it hard again.

I think the land plane was the right tool for that job. My only critique would be that it didn’t have scarifies on the implement (mine does) which is what you really want to do the first few passes; break up the packed rock/material; You eventually saw how much more effective the implement was once you broke it up with your tooth bar. Once its broken up move most of the material beyond the trouble spot, in this case, onto the paved driveway. Then you can go back and forth spreading the material, getting most of it where you needed it, in the low spot. After you’re satisfied with the general grading, tilt your top link back so that only the rear blade is touching, the front blade lightly touching/up. I find that when the front blade is tilted down to much, the material just piles up and if the back blade is ever so high, will compound this. By tilting the front blade up it allows the material to flow out the back of the plane more easily and gets you a nice final grade. It’s amazing how much rock you “make” once you’ve dug down a bit, so I agree, no more was needed. Hopefully these tips will help you out and as you continue! Good luck and nice job. Thanks for sharing!

you guys are getting close to 100K

Tim, You should consider a Rollover box blade, and possibly a top & tilt kit for the 3 point.

Land plane not meant to dig in...really need one with rippers on it and won’t need tooth bar assistance 👍🏼 - plus we find the rippers are needed to bust up the edges of the pot hole or it comes right back. Thanks for the videos 👍🏼👍🏼

Great job!👍

Your box blade would have worked better than the land plane. Also, a $90 dump truck load of 3/4minus would have made this about a 15 minute job. ...but I know that you really wanted to play with the land plane and get a video of it out there. =O)

Bought a Land Pride Plane. I must say I think after seeing your video the sacrifices, are a necessity and something you would really enjoy although it might set that 1025r on fire.

Wow, this video hit home in so many ways for me. Being an Indianapolis resident and a prior CAPTAIN D'S manager, I am just gonna have to go there and check out your handiwork personally. :) PS - for anyone wondering, the Captain D's is located in Greenwood, IN just south and across the street from the Greenwood mall.

Tooth bar for the win! After seeing Tim using one and what it can do, I purchased one. What a difference it makes moving stubborn material. I had a junk pile behind my shed that the bucket on my 1025 could only scratch. I installed the tooth bar and that pile just fell apart and was able to get it all cleaned up in a few hours. Thanks for the great content, keep up the good work.

The land plane looks like a tool you could make a lot of use of Tim.

I think you might have saved time if you would have used the box blade with the scarifiers to do the rough work and then used the land plane to finish things off.

Awesome video Tim. That REALLY came out nice. I was amazed at how smooth you were able to get the driveway. Nice job.

Power rake and ventrac

I dont have a land plane but I do have a box blade. From what I see you doing I think that the box blade would have been a better choice.

Tim, to me it does look like crushed Milling. Millings are one of the best things for driveways, most crushed Concrete is dusty, it all depends on how much asphalt is mixed in. The crushed gravel we have at my work has many loads of extra Asphalt in it, many people are starting to see the add value in getting gravel that is from Asphalt Millings or Gravel that has them in it. Not only less dust but they pack harder then regular Gravel does.

Nice work!

Hi Tim, That cab you can work the backhoe with it on I forgot to tell you that. I like it give you shad when using the backhoe. Drive way looking good you will get it fixed. nice job

I have a tooth bar that I bought from the heavy hitch, did not use it yet but I plan to in the spring for cleanup of ruts and brush in the field.

Awesome stuff Tim!

Good job.

Great video!

Tim using the tooth bar definitely helps break up the surface to use the land plane to level it out

Good video Tim

I have one and use it a lot..works best when things are dry..but i did go for one with rippers

I've not used a plane yet, but from the research I've done they are more geared to grooming rather than fixing big ruts. A box blade works better as it has the scarifiers, but you tooth bar does the trick too, great job - John in TN

Tim, just watched this back to back with some other land plane videos, I just love your narration while you work. Watching a tractor work to music for 15 minutes doesn't do it for me. Next time compare a box blade to the land plane for a newb like me.

I always wondered how those land planes worked, without having scarifires built in like a box blade.. I bet it would work good if you used it on a regular basis. Once it gets bad you definitely need scarifiers tho. Came out nice. 👍

Nice new attachment, excellent job

I wanted a land plane. I added hydraulic top and tilt and use my box scrapper instead- have been very happy with it. Deere 2032R.

cool

Tim Christi enjoyed the job givers me some more projects also do a vedio on insurance took me a couple of months to find some God Bless All PaK

That thing gets the job done

Box blade with the teeth lowered, and then raise the teeth when it’s all loose and roughly in place. Then I put trailer jacks with air wheels on the back of my box blade, and use them to level everything out. A bit of modification involved, but the wheels following the box blade give it awesome leveling capabilities.

Looked nice when you was done

That "stone" is called Road Millings you can get it screened or unscreened. Most people get the screened due to being so easy to work with when potholes occur (as you can tell). The unscreened millings have big asphalt rock in it. Millings are a big thing here in Western New York. Perfect for country driveways (like yours) lol When installed they usually lay a 4-6" base. So be careful not to dig down to deep , don't want dirt mixed in with the Millings. By the way..... Love the Land Plane

Love my land plane. I use the heck out of it on gravel drives and dirt roads.

I was impressed by the plane.... looks like it did a pretty good job. I may have brought Vinnie with his power rake too.... even if the masses would rather see Johnny!

I love TTWT, just a word of advice when your in Louisville. Keep your head on a swivel. It’s like the “Chicago” of KY. I’d love to meet you guys one day but I’m not going to the Louisville area. South central KY is more of the quiet country & tractor kind of life.

It’s not rock. It old recycle asphalt millings. If you heat if up with a huge torch it will get sticky again and you can pack it with a roller.

This video is great. I have a large gravel driveway to maintain and for some reason I always think the 1025R wouldn't be big enough to pull a land plane. I'm always pleasantly surprised at how much work can be done with such a compact tractor. Nice to hear you'll be at the JD booth. I'm guessing you've sold quite a few of their tractors via your videos.

Always been curious about land planes. I’ve always used box blades, and found them a little frustrating for this type of work. The plane looks like it has potential.

great vid

tol time with tim good job

Never seen a land plane before very interesting

Makes for a really nice flat finish

Recycled asphalt = "Reclaim" in the industry . Great stuff for dirt driveways

My dreams were just shot down!!

Although I didn’t buy Tufline Monroe, I’m happy to this Aussie bought all his tractor attachments from the USA. Awesome stuff. So does Tufline Monre make a wood chipper? If so, I’d consider one. Googling now...

I like the land plane!

Love those tires.

Awesome video that tooth bar really impressed me. There it is.... Cheeseburgers.... KY cheeseburgers.... :) great job Tim.

Tim I rented a land plan from my local rental shop and it had scarifiers on it like box blade. It worked great on my drive. Im not sure who makes it but was the same color as yours. I rented one before I buy. Looks good.

Tim lands a plane?! Cool!

Now u need I mini roller/ compacter

Good job with the Land Plane. Enjoyed a full-watch, Tim and remember to eat a hefty cheeseburger for me (smile). Yes, I too am all about cheeseburgers.

I have a different experience with sacrifies or more specifically, the lack of... For potholes, yes you need to break them out with the bucket or other means, but there's no reason to break up everything because remember, a landplane cuts off the high spots, deposites material into low spots and gathers material from the edges and draws it in.. It is counterproductive to break up sound substrate in low lying areas. Just drag the plane and it will self level, taking from the edges and high spots. Otherwise what you are creating is an unpacked surface that is more prone to settling.

Nice job! Hopefully you have a project to use the box blade with in the near future. I am curious how the new tires are in snow for snow removal?

Should mark it on your calendar for 6 months down the road. Go back and see if it worked out and still holding up.

Burger's and wings next door at Smokey Bones...lol

Tim I have a Lowery brand land plane with two rows of scarifier teeth and it gets good 11 scarifiers total Wow it does a great job

Fluid and weights means break stuff. You have a small tractor don't do more than its made for. I see this everyday as a mechanic .

tractor tim , u need to raise land plane front up few inch / while u have loader bucket full of stone back drag with the loader back of your loader bucket

Been looking at a land plane definitely want one with rippers woulda made it easy for ya

I would have filled the hole with a couple yards of #2 stone for a firmer base and then pulled some of the millings over the top.
