It's good to see Land Pride is still in business making implements. I used to use a Gill Pulverizer working with my dad almost 30 years ago now. It always did a great job. We absolutely wore that implement completely out doing landscaping jobs.

Good morning Mr. Samurai, 35 years ago are used to run a guild pulverizer also it was always one of my favorite landscaping tools. It was nice when I could afford to buy one and have it in my arsenal of the implements. LOL Thanks so much for taking the time to comment I appreciate your support-Bill

Land Pride is owned by Kubota and is their line of implements and attachments sold at Kubota dealerships. You can buy it as a Kubota or Land Pride.

Bill after watching a lot of videos I decided to pull the trigger on a soil pulverizer. I had high hopes but still very weary if it would work well in our soil conditions here in Indiana where we have a lot of moisture. Well as your videos show this is probably one of the best investments I have made toward the the tractor. It is unbelievable how productive of a tool it really is and takes a lot of the manual parts out of preparing a seed bed. I do hauling and grading on the side and I think I’ll actually be putting my land plane up for sale. This thing also leaves an unbelievable finish on gravel and really mixes materials well. Thanks for helping so much in all of your videos. God bless.

Bill, I did a job just like that this past summer. I used my TR3 Rake and backed up the pile to pull down from the top and did that operation in different directions. My TR3 has a blade that can be locked for mass material moving OR unlocked and allowed to "float" to do a finish grading of material. The owner did some handwork to make look smooth. But the majority was spread about 1-4" depending on location in the field.

[@petebusch9069]

Would love to compare this to tilling and then leveling out with a drag and then compare that to a Harley rake. Which way is faster and gives a better end result?

[@billburkhart]

Hi Pete, I've never used a Harley rake, too expensive for me and I don't care for the way it can throw a rock or something similar. I'm such a fan of the pulverizer because its 3 tools in one. The scarifiers break up hard ground and the roller breaks it down further without going too deep. The H beam allows the operator to contour the ground where its needed. Finally the roller can be driver over the seed bed to set the seed into the soil. I'll keep this question in mind when I do a small seeding project this fall and compare it to a tiller. Good question. -Bill

[@petebusch9069]

@@billburkhart Do you spread seed and then go over it with this to get good soil contact? If so how does it work or does the grass come up even? I'm always looking for a better way. Right now I till, then go over it with my 3 point homemade drag, then I roll it with a cultipacker, spread seed and then cultipack again. It works but I always end up with a few bare spots.

[@billburkhart]

@petebusch9069 Pete, as long as your setting the seed with culipacker, your good to go. Your process is good. Using the pulverized, I get by soil prepped then spread seed, and then I tilt the pulverizer way back, so only the rollers are running on the seed, so it gets into the soil. basically, we’re doing the same thing. My experience has been getting good growth doing it my way and I’m sure you will also. Enjoy your weekend .Bill

Hello James, I agree that the green paint is expensive........I'm in my 60's and have used many Kubota's. My decsion was made on how close my dealer is to my home, John Deere has a plant in my town, I liked the finer features Deer's has over other brands, and I liked their reputation. Now in my 60s, I was able to make the decision less on money and more on what I wanted. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your comments on the details I speak about. Those comments keep me going.

Hey Bill, this is one of my favorites! You shared great info throughout and I love the peaceful nature of this one too. So the 1025 is the smallest tractor? I always here people talking about 1025....

[@billburkhart]

Aaron, yes, the 1025 is known as a one-series tractor; mine is a two-series tractor. The last two digits are the horsepower of the tractor. One reason I traded up was that the 1025's lifting capabilities were always marginal, so I moved up to the next-size tractor. Now, I can lift many more implements and achieve more of what I’m trying to do, and it still won't tear up your yard when you drive across it. enjoy your Labor Day. -Bill

For example, the rip rap I purchased in the other video was $175 for the stone and $150 for trucking, so $325 a load. Dump trucks are referred to as single-axle or tandem-axle loads.

We are about 3 hours from the fires so we didn't have problems but our church has a high member count there and those poor people lost everything, I am going to do video on top link soon, keep the great videos coming, enjoy them a lot.

[@bigfivetractorworks3492]

Great video !! Thanks for sharing with us. Still waiting on that disk harrow video 😂😂. Noticed you mentioned it.

[@billburkhart]

Hi Ray, I was directing that comment to you, glad you noticed....I swear its the next video.

One problem we get with a larger machine is it sinks on soft areas

[@billburkhart]

Jill, you'r correct. I notice the 1025 can go across my wet yard and leave less tracks than the 2038. Great point.

[@HandSEuroTrip]

Glad I found your channel. It's good to see an Iowa KZbinr who's as passionate about these tractors / attachments as I am. After seeing this video, I'm going to search your channel for one covering your aerator. Where to you typically shop for attacments? (I'm in the CR area)

[@billburkhart]

Welcome aboard Fourevers! I appreciate you subscribing. Ya know I find most of my implements when I walk my dealers lot on Sundays when the weather is nice, no one is around and I can take my time. He's pretty smart though, because he lets me take the used implements home for a test drive and I can't recall every taking them back.......I use the internet to compare prices and get ideas for other attachments that don't even know I need............. The aerator was purchased from a conversation on Facebook, a private owner in Indiana. That video is forthcoming. I try and put out a video every 3-4 weeks. Have a great Spring, the warmer weather is going to make staying home more difficult Stay safe and healthy.

Wouldn't the harley rake do a better job?

[@billburkhart]

Hello MQ, I'd love to have a Harley rake, they're just too expensive to get into. I believe this pulverizer, grades and breaks up large chunks of dirt well and overall is an excellent substitution to a Harley Rake. Thanks for the question and taking time to say hello, enjoy the rest of your week. - Bill

[@loopbreaka]

@@billburkhart Ah yes. They are very expensive. I re-read my comment and didn't mean better in terms of quality. You did amazing work and the grass coverage at the end is a testament to that.

[@billburkhart]

@@loopbreaka I didn't take your comments any other way. Have a great weekend Master Q.

[@shohokuslamdunk]

would a tiller be a much better implement for the job?

[@billburkhart]

Yes, the tiller would have worked well too but would have been pretty slow. I'll consider on my next project, thanks for taking time to comment.

[@cdee6096]

Hi Bill. Thanks for your videos. Just wondering if you think that a PTO tiller set shallow would have been a good choice to spread the humus?

[@billburkhart]

Happy Sunday C Dee, It sure could have, and there would be nothing incorrect about doing that. I just used the tools I had at the time and was happy with the results. You'r correct, there is more than one way to get the job completed. Have a great week. - Bill

[@wrb129]

What type of aerator is that?

[@billburkhart]

Hello Bill, I purchased that implement used from a friend in Indiana after asking a Facebook Group if anyone had an aerator for sale. It's made by Everything Attachments and they call it a Southern Lawn Plugger. I'll have a review coming out soon on that piece. Thanks for asking Bill Have a good February.

[@crossbow3539]

Great job and great video but you should have tilled the yard before you put more over the top

Thank you for this! I have a 2038r and was wondering how the 72” unit would perform. Looks like a good match. I need to do this to my yard this spring. How long did this take you?

[@billburkhart]

Hi David, I had an honest 10 hours in the project, the New Holland wasn't used much and that included a lot of hand work around the foundation. Good luck with your project. - Bill

[@noelcahill6707]

Great video but to much time wasted on that attachment here in Ireland we would use a stone burier power harrow or power rake

[@billburkhart]

Hello Noel, I'd love to have a power rake! Around here there typically $8,000. Too expensive for me at the moment. Thanks for taking time to comment.

[@noelcahill6707]

@@billburkhart no problem bill there not cheap here either do ye have stone buriers in the states

[@billburkhart]

Noel Cahill I’ll be darn, Ive never seen this tool before, but I’d sure like to try one. Sounds like it does a lot in one pass. I’ll keep my eyes open for a deal, thanks for making me aware of the Impliment.

[@noelcahill6707]

@@billburkhart no problem there common here in Britain and Ireland 1 pass leaves a neat seed bed u can even get them with a seed box but if they are in the states I'd recommend 1 alot

[@Fiberglasser03]

You need a power rake.

[@billburkhart]

I'd love to have a power rake, but I've decided to purchase several other attachments for the price of a used power rake. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one.

[@bvinduck]

Do you have a roto tiller for the tractor? if so which is better the tiller or Soil Pulverizer? Cost of the SP 3072?

[@billburkhart]

Hello X Ray, the SP 3072 was around $3,000 and I also have a Land Pride RTR 1274 rear tiller that I'll be demonstrating this spring. The pulverizer is quicker than the tiller for what I'm doing. I purchased the tiller first, thinking it would do everything I wanted. But, I've always wanted a pulverizer so made arrangements so I could purchase both. I'm very blessed.

[@rgw3629]

[@billburkhart]

RG W Thank you

[@Bradannas1]

All of that hard work and will be full of weeds! You definitely done the right think but you should have sprayed roundup over the whole yard probably 2 Applications 2 to 3 weeks apart before you added and pulverized the soil.

[@billburkhart]

Hello Brad, your are so correct, and we'll have to treat the weeds for several seasons before there gone. Good point.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Boy do I wish I had that kind of weather right now! Where are you located? Great video BTW!
