Nice job Tony. I fixed my neighbor’s driveway and he gave me a hunting shack on a trailer. I wasn’t going to charge him anything. It was close and I like doing stuff like that.

@TonysTractorAdventure Жыл бұрын

I may have not charged him but he insisted. I think it turned out pretty well for both of us

I envy the nice gravel drive. You did a nice job with that drive. Mine is 4" minus road base pushed into red clay over the last 50 years. I need scarifiers and patience to get the gravel mobile again and then level out the holes and wash board.

Nice job on the driveway. Not any kind of expert here but my feeling on sizing a land plane is based off of a box blade, where you want the box blade to be at least as wide as your tractor, to just a little wider, then take that width and add 1 foot, this is the size of the Land Plane you want. This is assuming you have the middle of the road HP tractor for the frame size. If that frame size has 3 or 4 different HP engines and you go with the highest HP, you can likely add 1 foot to the box blade (over the width of the tractor) and then 1 more foot for the LP. The tricky part is when you have a larger frame 25hp tractor, especially if you use spacers on the wheels for stability, you will likely struggle in un-ideal conditions with a box blade just wider than the tractor and the same with a 1 foot wider LP. It looked like the tractor was happier on that "drier" gravel today compared to the wetter clay/gravel mix you were doing at your property (going up hill) in the last video. I think that fits with what should be expected, but un any case, you got both jobs done well. Have a good one!!

@TonysTractorAdventure Жыл бұрын

We got this land plane for our 48 horsepower tractor but I sometimes use it on the smaller tractor like for this job. I had the back of one of the t474 so it was just easier to put it on the T25.

You're getting a lot better dragging that Land Plane. Sure works better in dry-ish material. Gravel roads and driveways washboard like that when people use too much throttle on them. That ATV was probably a major culprit.

@TonysTractorAdventure Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure what caused it. They bought the house recently.

@RealJeep Жыл бұрын

@@TonysTractorAdventure When I worked for the FS in Montana most of our roads were gravel. It is well known in places with gravel roads what causes washboards. Too much speed and too much throttle. When you put too much foot into it the tire spins up little mounds. There was always a bad washboard going up hills because people would apply too much foot getting up the hill. Also, the inside of the curve was always much worse. We would have to blade the roads a couple times a year so people could drive more than 5 mph without shaking their fillings out.

@andrewbrenneman9592 Жыл бұрын

I'm a boxscraper user. I prefer the compact size of the boxscraper and have more time with a boxscraper over a land plane. I have tricks to spread the material thinly when blading a drive. Or I use my ABI TR3 Rake to rip, spread & level.

No intended criticism here, I didn’t see that the washboard got ripped out, or is the plane heavy enough to cut it? I used a boxblade with the rippers just a bit below the front cutting edge. Then I run back and forth until the washboard is cut up. Then with the matls loose, it makes the smoothing and compacting last. Either way, it does look good. I do miss my long gravel driveway

@TonysTractorAdventure Жыл бұрын

The land plane is 600 pounds. I cut the ripples off on the first few passes. I then back filled gravel. It is not my choice of gravel for a drive, but it was what the owner had.
