EverythingAttachment I built one similar to this for my skidsteer, after using this on driveways the customers really appreciate the savings on stone plus I get the work twice a year rather than once every 5.

[@EverythingAttachments]

@Wade, most definitely. www.EverythingAttachments.com

[@EverythingAttachments]

@Wade most definitely! More than ever before.

@Wade We sent you an email. Thanks!

[@aaronburford5701]

Came back again to listening to the sound of the grading process.... love it!

[@RichardCraniumRules]

Ted, Love the videos keep'em coming. From personal experience I found putting a crown in the road prevents potholes by allowing the water to run off the side rather than pooing up.

[@aaronburford5701]

Loving this video! Another month watching again!

[@aaronburford5701]

Back again! Love watching this video!

[@tannerbowles4341]

I dont have a crown in any road or driveway on our farm and manage them all with this tool. you cant beat it!!!

[@aaronburford5701]

Love the video, back watching again!

[@aaronburford5701]

Great video! Love the sound of the machinery and the grading being done!

[@baileysconstruction7898]

I used to use 1 where it had angle adjustments on it via hydro remotes in then they work great because you can adjust it to crown the road

[@crslyrn]

Once again Ted, you guys have done an excellent job showing one of the products that you sell being used. KZbin looks to be an excellent way to market the items you sell. I like how you try to take the time to explain how to set up & use each item you show here on KZbin. Thanks.

[@MrMrwilem]

everyone is worried about the crown, if you want crown in the drive way (its gravel, its gonna drain if its of sufficient thickness) just get a 48" leveler and do it in halves with the blades angled to the center. this tool is an awesome tool.

[@tmpbigdog]

Because the blades are sweeping from right to left if you always run on the right side of the road it will pull the material from the outside of the road and drop it in the middle creating a crown.

[@DavidSmith-fr1uz]

Always good information on these videos.

[@vtrdavefilms]

Yeah Peanut is famous!! We need a "Peanut cam" so we can see what he's doing at the controls & learn as well.... Thanks for all the great videos.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks for watching! I'll tell Peanut he needs his own cam!!

[@deanbarr5740]

One Word "awesome", Loved this video. Got to get one. Thanks for sharing

[@bradin1990]

I'm impressed!

[@tonybass5662]

Good video, thanks. How do these work if the driveway has a hill? Do you pull it with the 3 point level or on float?

[@aaronburford5701]

Rewatched! Great attachment!

[@paininthe10]

Wonderful tool for what it's designed for. Love the tractor..

[@davidrasmussen5537]

Great job and commentary 🇬🇧🙏🏼

[@EverythingAttachments]

John Markelewicz The specs on your Kubota show it is 44.5 inches wide, the smallest size we have is our 60" that weighs 458 lbs. It seems that your should be able to pull it fine, as long as the road isn't a steep incline. If you have any questions give us a call.

How you are

[@rongray4118]

Hi, Ted! I like this leveler! In the end you can pull the excess/ larger rocks with the landscape rake...windrow, throw and done! Great video!

[@junkersish]

Neat attachment , never seen one quite like this, it works wonders.

[@SimplyCE3]

Is the total weight of the land blade used to grade? Or is the height adjusted and held by the hitch? Thank you.

[@connslvr]

From what I can tell, they’re designed to sit all the way down. The downside I see to one is if you have deeper ruts, you wouldn’t be able to dig out around them. That’s not 100% necessary, but in my experience, deep pot holes will just come back pretty quickly unless you dig them out and level them back up.

[@MikeandjulieScanlon]

That's a sweet tool for cutting a road. Can't believe the job it did. Thatd be a week of work with a boxblade.

[@marksleeper3752]

I have the SO scraper 6' that same brand it is built like a tank

[@Chiefbuzzbee]

Good job ! What size of tractor would you need to pull a 7 or 6 footer? How well with big rocks and sandy loam? We grow big rocks here in New Hampshire.......

[@231MasseyFerguson]

Need to do a video like this using the EA bionic blade!

[@dungteller367]

Looks good but what if you need the road to be crowned? Here NH we need to keep the water off the road. Any thought's?

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks for watching! Create/maintain a crown by adjusting the tractor's side linkage to make one side lower than the other. Check out our newest, Xtreme model land levelers here: www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

[@Drew6709]

Would you be willing to do a comparison "shootout" between Everything Attachments, ABI, Domor, Priefert, Woods, & Landpride graders? Noting weight, blade angle, complete dimensions and ease of use. Not to mention torture test.

[@Rick-fb9kn]

I'd like to see that myself

[@chuck4abuck1]

I think thats great out come and requires alot les talent than the box blade

[@MrMrwilem]

Great video Ted. Good job peanut. I think i'll go outside and make one of these and not use the spike either. did a great job on the road.

[@thomasguerrero7289]

I like the way it mixes the dirt with the gravel , 👍🏼 . It would work great on a properly installed driveway but in some cases you have to work with what you got . Hook me up with one and I’ll let you know how it work but so far I’m good . At some point I do want one for maintenance .

[@woska7493]

Sorry if this is been asked before, what tractor were you using with it? I have a L2501 tractor, will that pull a 7 foot blade?

[@bryanbatts]

Man that came out great!!!! 😎😎

[@mattnoell1968]

Awesome like a opossum! I just found you and peanut. I love your videos. I learn something from every video and I grew up on tractors. M.;)

[@RimshotG19]

Every time the tractor passes the camera zooms past the model number and straight to the attachment!!! Is this the Kubota MX5100HST? Looks like it...

[@williambolger5296]

Nice one, would be great for land levelling too if a little wider.

[@darylbrookins4273]

Awesome job.......great tool...

[@chainsawchips]

Way ta go Peanut!!!

[@edspencer7121]

Just subbed your channel, good 411! A question about setting up the leveler; I see you had to lengthen the top link to get more cut on the back blade, but as your dragging are you applying down pressure on the rig or letting it "float"? Also, can a person create a crown on the center of the driveway by adjusting the lift rods on the 3 point so your right lift arm is lower and left lift arm is higher. Of course lower side to the outside of the driveway.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks! Yes, top link adjustment is necessary to get it dialed in so it will produce the best results for your particular application. No down force is being applied, so a heavier model should produce better results faster. Our new EA Xtreme models have an aggressive 10 degree cutting edge angle, which also helps! You can adjust the tractor's side links to create/maintain a crown. Check out all of the current models we manufacture here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

[@GaToy54]

If used correctly you can crown your drive with it. I do mine with a 6'. You merely ride on the left side and raise the adjusting arm so that when raise the lifting bars the outside arm has slack and doesn't move. Or vice versa you can lower the adjusting arm and the left arm will rise on its own. With this you would need to be on the opposite side of the drive. This tool is a dream for anyone with a long drive. Mine is around 1000 ft. These don't leave dips as bad as box blades.

[@scott5609]

Do u guys have an offset finish mower that works off the pto just bought a dr that it's own motor not a very good machine

[@framfull]

Do you guys over there put salt on your gravel roads?

[@lionarg]

Me gusta el implemento, lo unico que agregaria es un lastre para sobrepeso en el cajón, esto permitiría que no tenga tantos sobresaltos cuando encuentre la herramienta una piedra grande o suelo duro, esto hará una nivelación mas perfecta.

[@deepwaterwolf1]

Great tool, however I do have a ? I have bought one and it works great, but how do you set it up so that it will pull the gravel that gets built up on the edge of the drive to the center of the driveway. I always run on the right side of the drive way but it is not pulling it over to the left side of the grader. I thought that was why the left side was further back than the right side.

[@moshanmoshan6148]

Hi

[@rdlamascus]

I'm quite sure the scarifying shanks would make a big difference.

[@robertd6925]

Are both of the blades set at an angle?

[@EverythingAttachments]

Yes, at the perfect angles to produce optimal results. See our current models here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

[@burnsfarm4567]

I think I made a mistake. I wanted to smooth out my driveway a little. It is a very packed logging road with large 3" or larger stone. I used my rake and it pulled up a lot of stone on top and now its such a rough ride. Oh my goodness it will chip your teeth. Should I just rake off all the big rocks I can and then add crush run on top?

[@markward6076]

Does your business build those?

[@srvafool]

Use an angle blade instead of a land leveler. A land leveler is great for leveling land. A road is not supposed to be level. That's why they build crowns into roads. Get the right tool for the right job. Angle blade for road maintenance.

[@kameljoe21]

An angle blade will only pull the material from the edge to the middle leaving a pile that has to be dealt with. These are privaget driveways and a crown is really the least of anyone's worry. Land planes are used because they roll the larger rocks to the surface and the fine dust and silt is washed away. This road has more than enough rock in it to last with proper maintenance. You can tell that they have not done anything with this road for years and years. Using a land plane monthly will keep your driveway clean and free from sunken and sloppy wet areas. Thus the reason to level it out. Driving over it with out maintenance will create those ruts that will turn to mud and pot holes. Angle blade moves material from one side to the other. Box blade moves material from one areas to another. Land plane level the materiel where it is at. As you can see there are needs for each one yet a land plane on a driveway is really the way to go.

[@fedup3582]

I have and use a couple of these. If you just think about how you are running the machine, these work very well to blade a road flat, cut down a crown, or build a crown, even build a new road. If you get a model with scarifiers mounted, you can run them about 1 inch deep, just enough to loosen the top for blading, and this job would have gone much faster.

[@deanbarr5740]

Thanks Ted appreciate

[@trialbyfire7112]

I'm new to this and wondering why you'd want to remove a crown? Doesn't a crown help with drainage off of the road?

[@EverythingAttachments]

The need for a crown may vary, but you can maintain a crown by adjusting the tractor’s side links if desired.

[@DeerParkAuto]

Cool Attachment....but don't you want a small crown to help run off?

[@01mustang05]

You and me would think so because if no crown water sits on road & when driven on makes puddles turn into huge potholes. Yet another reason this tool is junk. Need a better took that will do one pass on each side of crown ripping, and then spreading and packing with little to no bounce.

[@MrMinecraftsolution]

on our farm we need one, would u send one to england?

[@EverythingAttachments]

We have shipped implements going to places all over the world, all you need to do is find an exporter here in the US, and we will ship it to them. Almost all exporters are within our free shipping zone on the east coast.

[@MrMinecraftsolution]

well how much does it get some one to ship it over here? because here it will be in the thousands!!

[@EverythingAttachments]

mining mayhem That is something you would have to set up with the exporter, we don't deal with them other than ship the attachment to the exporter you have made arrangements with.

[@MrMinecraftsolution]

okay thanks for the information!

[@jimsteele7108]

That did I nice job.

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Why would you want to take the "Crown" out of the road structure, they are there for a reason ?

[@artgoat]

On a paved road, they help the road shed water into the gutters. On a gravel road, the crown happens because of gravel displaced from the tire tracks. That results in the water collecting and flowing in the tire tracks, and rutting them out worse. Dispersing the crown fills the tire tracks back in and makes them less prone to erosion.

[@davesdrone3125]

This site still work? I wanted to order one but parts of the site appear to be broken

[@geoffgeoff3333]

How would that work with 2" crushed stone and a slope?

[@EverythingAttachments]

A land lever should work ideally. You should check out our Xtreme model here: www.everythingattachments.com/Land-Leveler-Land-Plane-With-Scarifier-Rippers-p/eta-land-leveler-ws-2.htm

[@dwarfturtle]

Cool. Good stuff.

[@FearTurtles]

Actually the attachment automatically puts a slight crown in the road. You may think it is level but the angle of the blade will automatically force more material to the middle. And that is the way you want it as it allows for water to be carried off the road as quick as possible. Actually a 7' leveler is too big for a driveway like this. A 5' leveler would work perfect.

[@richardhorst6810]

Will this unit work on a dirt road? A mile long

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I would be interested in a small on for my large garden tractor that runs CAT-0 3pt hitch implements. I can't seem to find one small enough though. Can't justify a larger tractor for my home.

[@moshanmoshan6148]

Hi

[@2LateIWon]

Do you have any used equipment?

[@brianjohnson7523]

Why not try a back plate, an I beam 8-10 inches, to help move and level more, I have seen one done and it works like a charm to create a crown in all roads

[@phillipknowles1258]

Peanut for President! Can he mountain dance or play a banjo?

[@egdiryellam68]

You all ready have a peanut as president.

[@Drottninggatan2017]

Even though this implement is working quite nicely, taking the crown off of the road is detrimental, you should maintain the crown. Perhaps it would be better if you stick to the right hand side of the road only.

[@highstepperARF]

Will this work in a rough grassy lane?

[@EverythingAttachments]

Sure! It probably won't be very grassy when you're finished. I'd go with a model with ripper shanks. The best can be found here www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Land-Levelers-Land-Graders-s/9893.htm

[@Ringele5574]

Old video but I will comment anyway... You can keep or put in a crown in a road or driveway simply by adjusting the link arm. Super hard pack just takes a few passes. Some land planes have scarifiers....

[@Tyler_Koehn]

I guess i don't see why you would want to get rid of your crown? Thats what gets the water off to the sides instead of puddling up on your flat spots because then when cars drive through the puddles the splash pushes the rock out creating pot holes. Just my opinion but we got about a 100yrd gravel drive and the crown seems to work best for us.

[@normanmcneal3605]

Put four or more sacks of quikkrete or sand bags on it and see how much better it grades.

[@EverythingAttachments]

It can help lighter models because weight definitely produces results. We've since designed our own model and it is taller, deeper and HEAVIER, so additional weight isn't needed.
