John Deere 2038 R / Land Plane Review / 134

Using a John Deere 2038R, I'll review a Land Plane made by Everything Attachments.
The Land Plane can be used to fill in pot holes, washed areas, low spots, washboard areas and recover gravel with the Everything Attachments Land Leveler-Land Plane.
It is a very easy implement to use for smoothing gravel driveways or roads. Hook up to your category 1 or 2 three point hitch, adjust your top link until flat and level and immediately improve your driveway or road bed as the material flows over the first edge and is leveled by the back edge. You can use your adjustable down link from your 3 point hitch to make a crown on your road if desired.

Just described why i watch your content and others to someone who wouldnt think that i would watch this. This video was playing, and I shared its interesting information, but more importantly, you know what you are doing, your voice is so smoorhing, and your work is perfect! Great Job!

[@billburkhart]

Thank you so much, Aaron! -Bill

[@c.carney1948]

Very good job grading. I need one of them, or as my wife may say that is a want not a need. But I thinks it is a need.

[@billburkhart]

I understand wants vs needs, my friend. I wish I had some advice on closing the deal for you😃 Thanks for saying hello, stay in touch.-Bill

[@hendodon5076]

I live on a mountain, sometimes I'm envious of these "flatlanders". They don't know what a real challenge is! Thanks for all your content!

[@billburkhart]

So true Hendo Don. The view is often better from the top isn’t it? -Bill

Good description of how you repair the ruts in a gravel driveway.

[@billburkhart]

Thank you Michael, appreciate your comments-Bill

[@shonhaines1995]

Great video Bill! My Land Pride Land Plane has become my favorite rear attachment for my road and driveway. I let my dealer talk me into a box blade when I purchased my tractor but within a year ended up with a Land Plane and have not regretted it one minute. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos.

[@billburkhart]

Good Morning Shon, I agree with your opinion, regarding the land grader. I also belive the Land Pride brand is equal to any other brand , in fact they have some features I like over their competitors. Stay in touch and enjoy the Labor Day holiday. - Bill

[@12heebs]

Love the videos! Thank you for taking the time to create them for everyone! Some great info for a guy in the market for a land plane! Checking in from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Right across the river from Detroit Michigan.

[@billburkhart]

Hello 12heebs, thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. This kind of support keeps me motivated to make more videos. -Bill

Super videos, Bill. Want to thank you…Been purchasing attachments from time to time…I tell my wife that Bill from Iowa has and uses the same. Statement works…Yep, it works! God Bless! Robert for Big Sky Country - MT

[@billburkhart]

Hello Robert! Thank you for that wonderful story, I sure appreciate you supporting my videos. Looking forward to a great upcoming summer. Take care my friend. -Bill

[@ibwaldo]

I see the advantage that the dual facing blades gives you on your land plane, great video as always. Thanks for my shoutout 👍

[@billburkhart]

Thanks Dave! Happy Labor Day!

[@davew1919]

Can’t wait to see the next video on the grapple. My next need! Dave Adrian Minnesota. Thanks

[@billburkhart]

Morning Dave, the grapple we’ll be reviewing is pretty nice. I’ll be doing a comparison to a non hydraulic grapple. Hope you enjoy it. Enjoy the holiday. -Bill

[@deanbarr5740]

Bygolly, that is heavy duty Bill. EA done a great job building this implement. Color matches perfectly too. Hope you have a great Labor Day and if you a Veteran, I would like to thank you and all Veterans for the Service to Our Country. I'm from Jacksonburg, W.Virginia.

[@billburkhart]

Hello Dean, I was born and have family in Weston WVa. I love getting back to WVa when I can. I agree with your opinion the grader is very nice. I’m not a vet, are you? The draft ended the year I turned 18 and I planned on signing up but life got in the way. Enjoy your holiday. -Bill

Thank you! You too Gary! Bill

[@johngroves1023]

Thanks very much for taking the time to make your video. I am hoping these land planes will take on here in the UK as currently you can't get them. They look go do a fantastic job.

[@billburkhart]

Good morning, good evening John, thank you so much for taking time to comment and say hello. Is anything similar to this land plane available in the UK? -Bill

[@johngroves1023]

@@billburkhart very much enjoying your videos. So at the moment all I can currently get in the UK for this sort of track work is a box blade but like you show the leveller works brilliant for getting that nice even finish. When did the land plane become widely available in the US? Our trends here seem to follow yours in the US, just a fair amount of time later so I'm hoping they will soon come here.

[@billburkhart]

@@johngroves1023 John. I got really interested in compact tractors in 2018 and graders were popular then, so I don’t know much more than that about the history of the graders. Good luck with your hunt , let us know when you find one. -Bill

Great video. I am looking at land planes now. I use rolling pallets for my equipment as well.

[@billburkhart]

Good morning! Let me know what brand you purchase, you'll love what it can do for you. Happy Saturday -Bill

[@adirondackwoodsman]

@@billburkhart thanks , I will Bill.

[@littlemogocreek]

Great stuff, thank you Bill. I've just ordered a land plane from Land Pride so it was great to see how you guys use yours. Unfortunately all I can do is watch at this stage because it'll take between 3 to 6 months to have mine delivered to Australia at the moment :-( Can't wait for it though and in the meantime I can learn how to use it from you 🙂 Thanks again. Duncan - LMC

[@billburkhart]

Hi Duncan, thanks for checking in. Will 3-6 months put you into your summer season? You’ll be very happy with the Land Pride brand. Let me know when you get it, take care and stay in touch. -Bill

[@littlemogocreek]

@@billburkhart Yes, three months will put us in summer. Just hit Spring here now so an exciting time of year. Thanks again.

[@kr5289]

Hey Bill, Kenneth from Ky I been really keeping my eye out for a used one, new ones are pretty pricing.

[@billburkhart]

Hi Kenneth, I was lucky to find my grader used. Once you find one you’ll love it. Thanks for saying hello and staying in touch. -Bill

[@MarkJohnson-pm6cx]

Nice video, I don't have a land plane got that box grader but thinking about one... checking in from hanover in.

[@billburkhart]

Good morning Mark, the box blade is also a very useful Impliment tool isn’t it? Good luck with your decision to purchase a land plane, there are a lot of good brands out there to choose from. Enjoy your Labor Day holiday and stay in touch. -Bill

[@stevenboivin1239]

Hello from Steve in Sonora Ca. I have a very long, kinda steep gravel driveway, that washes out every time it rains. But . . . in this area there is a lot of ledge and very big rocks, so grading my driveway can be a real challange and very hard on the equipment.

[@billburkhart]

Hello Steve. I’ve been in your shoes, I ended up blacktopping my entire driveway to stop the erosion and improve the overall safety of getting in and out of my property. Hope your having a nice Spring.

[@Lilfarmrboy]

EA makes some awesome stuff that is top notch. Bill if you ever want to see truly flat land come on over to lower Delaware. 😂

[@billburkhart]

Hello! Sorry for the late response. I’ve never been to the Delaware area although I would like to. I agree with your opinion that everything attachments makes high quality implements. Enjoy the rest of your weekend-Bill

[@rjmack3790]

Hey Bill, great video. I definately like your plane better. I'm more of a box blade fan, but if I was to puchase a plane, I'd get one like you have. Thanks for sharing.

[@billburkhart]

Hello RJ so glad to hear from you again hope you’ve had a good summer. I agree with your comments that a box blade definitely has a place in one’s arsenal of implements. Take care of yourself, stay in touch. Happy Labor Day-Bill

[@deerrudy]

Hi Bill, sending regards from Tampa, Fl. Good informative video as always Bill. I dont comment often, but always try to catch your videos. Im moving to a home with a 500ft driveway to maintain. I already own a box blade and was considering a land plane. Was nice to see it action. I think I could get by with a box blade but those are better from moving material from on place to another where the land plane as the name implies is for leveling. Be well. Rudy

[@billburkhart]

Hello Rudy, Nice to hear from you, thanks for taking time to say hello and comment. Good luck on your move, just wondering if your driveway is level or has slopes to it. Glad the video gave you some information to help you make the decision on purchasing a land plane.- Bill

[@deerrudy]

@@billburkhart Hey Bill, the drive has a very gradual slope down towards the house, but it is flat. Born and raised in Florida I was always envious of those areas of the country with hills and mountains. Haha. So next I will be contemplating what to use stone, crust concrete, or asphalt millings. A lot of people in this area use millings.

[@billburkhart]

@@deerrudy You can’t go wrong with millings. Good luck on your new adventure! Bill

[@deerrudy]

Thank you sir!

[@andrewbrenneman9592]

About time Bill. :) I've been waiting for a new vid. What's the next new implement after this???

[@billburkhart]

Good morning Andrew, I've been running out of ideas for new videos so I took a little break. Hope all is well out your way. I havent purchased any new impliments this summer, but I'm loooking forward to sharing the grapple I showed in the video. I'm going to compare it to the Westendorf Brush Crusher. Apples to Bananas comparision but it could turn out to be interesting to a few. Enjoy the Labor Day holiday. Take care of yourself, we'll talk soon. - Bill

[@bryans5339]

Great Video. Do you use 4wd while grading uphill?

[@billburkhart]

Good morning Bryan, I’m always in 4WD when I leave hard surfaces after seeing a co-worker slide out of control going down hill. Thanks for taking the time to comment.-Bill

[@billburkhart]

Morning Dan, thanks for checking in and saying hello. Enjoy the holiday weekend-Bill

[@gckshea]

Bill, thanks for the info! What grade or size stone was tailgated?

[@billburkhart]

Graham it was a common 3/4 inch rock with fines. A good mixture for a driveway.

[@gckshea]

@@billburkhart Yes Sir, thank you. I saw a recent video, but can't find it again, that mentioned a number I was not famiar with: 21A and 21AA. My realization about crushed stone is it depends on the quarry, region, state DOT criteria, ASTM standards, and individual's vernacular. It's confusing!!

Im in washington state I have a 1025r, but im thinking about updrading to a 3025e tractor.

[@billburkhart]

Hi Trevor, that sure would be a significant jump for you. Hope all is well in your part of the world. Thanks for taking time to comment and watching my videos.-Bill

[@jamess3532]

Can you post a part number for the green land plane from everything attachments? I can't seem to find the one in the video online.

[@billburkhart]

Hi James, let me find that, I’ll get back to you

[@billburkhart]

I think it was ETA-land -leveler -66-v2 was the working width 70 ? Call them if you have questions, I’m sure they’ll take care of you.-Bill

[@deangebhardt1981]

Am I understanding you correctly in that you have blades on the inside and outside of the rear arm ?

[@billburkhart]

Hi Dean, yes I believe that is correct. I'll go look tomorrow and reconfirm.

[@deangebhardt1981]

Having blades on both sides of both the front and back,or minimally the back, would certainly increase the usefulness. Looking forward to your update.

[@billburkhart]

Dean, I checked and can confirm I have two blades on my grader. Here's a video showing how I used my grader. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYq3fJyNhdKJl9Usi=54IBgXorAV3Iwg1I

[@deangebhardt1981]

Thanks Bill. The video link was awesome. Now you've got me thinking about the Land Pride.

[@billburkhart]

I believe you can't go wrong with land pride. Good luck with your search. -Bill

[@danielmeyer403]

Add the hydraulic top link and you've got the perfect driveway and grading solution.

[@billburkhart]

Couldn’t agree more, Merry Christmas-Bill

[@donnellestoney5459]

How you build rolling pallet

[@billburkhart]

Hello Donnelley. You can attach casters under the 4 corners of the pallet. Be sure and have 2 casters that rotate 360 degrees. That will allow you to turn it easily. Good luck.-Bill

@@patrickhennessey5221 I’m sorry to report the pond has developed another leak 😭 watch for the new video following the process to fix the leak.- fingers crossed-Bill

[@hobypatrick]

Looks to me like the blades are not setup correctly. The gravel a should go over front blade first then go over back blade. So the full rig isn’t level. In this video the back blade was filling up first. At least in my opinion.

[@billburkhart]

Hello, Hobypatrick; I understand what you are explaining. The hydraulic top link allows the operator to change the pitch and make it more or less aggressive. Good point. Thanks for taking the time to comment-Bill
