[@HeavyHitch]

Thanks Tim, this is a great video showing the capabilities of the Land Leveler! Thank you for the partnership and showing our products to your subscribers. We are very blessed for all the support and wonderful customers that we have that share our products with others!

[@midcoasttractorservice9182]

I'd be interested in demoing one of these if possible! Repairing/reclaiming rock is basically all I do with my sub compact and my grading scraper. I have many videos of doing it.

[@ImaITman]

The cats walking into frame at the exact same time around 4:30 is hilarious

[@bartonmd]

Just the control to add and subtract weight with this is really cool!

[@komitadjie]

Dang, that is really cool! A land plane with better surface-busting capability, downpressure, AND really good manipulation. That's a great idea!

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Good idea that tool. Kudos to heavy hitch for bringing it to market. Thanks Tim and Christy for showing us.

[@maintenancewithmike]

That thing works Great! I love that you can just quick attach it onto the loader and not have to go through the three point hitch process for a land plane or box blade. Nice find Tim!

[@Tony2tall]

I like the forward mounted implements. Agree with your analogy of limestone roadway. The road is dusty when dry and slimy when wet and plant life enjoys the borders.

[@jacobrunklewithjacobscount4248]

I definitely enjoyed the demo of this one! Thanks guys!

[@arhzee3310]

This attachment is exactly what I need. I have a gravel driveway and parking lot that always needs to be leveled. I think the land leveler and box blade would make a great combination to level my yard. I ordered one yesterday.

[@scottarmstrong1115]

My uncle built some similar and we call it a dirt dog. Its great to leveling graval and finish grading or stirring up dirt before spreading grass seed in your yard.

[@denisewildfortune4058]

Thanks for the real-world demonstrations, Tim. I've avoided several specialty implements due to low utilization, not the lack of need. This multi-task tool looks like the Goldilocks tool I've been looking for. Tim and HH for the win!

[@dirtguy6537]

That attachment is very impressive great for driveways and finish grading.

[@HankinsExcavating]

Looks great! Looks similar to when I run the power rake on driveways.

[@tretter1452]

Awesome product, thanks! I came, I saw, I purchased one! Looks like more Tractor time for me in the near future. I know of at least three projects this year that I can use with this immediately, so looking forward to getting it.

[@photocontrol]

Great attachment, it does a nice job on the gravel driveway and works well even with the wet soil.

[@BillShafer51]

Great video! I can't wait til mine gets here. I have a gravel driveway and so does both sons. Thanks for TTWT savings too.

[@BrickyardPowerMan]

Like how flexible it is in the odd areas like the edge and corners of your driveway. Was equally impressed with the ability to use in gravel and dirt. I think I prefer my box blade with ripper shanks to really turn over my gravel drive but do like how quickly this can create a smooth driveway surface without a dozen passes which I invariably do with my box blade.

[@occ9867]

WOW!!! I'm as impressed as could be with this H.H. land leveler. I see a new implement coming to the "herd".

[@user-ff5ut5xm2z]

Thanks for sharing, going to look into this one.👍🏻

[@ElkCreekAcres]

Very interesting Tim, I’ve seen FEL mounted land planes, but this definitely seems to work very well. As you mentioned, I like that it doesn’t move a lot of material, just loosening and leveling.

[@garypower9024]

That does an awesome job Tim. I really enjoy watching new attachments being used. This one is just doing a superb job , impressive

[@paulg1827]

I use my landscape rake, works perfect on my gravel driveway.

[@terrygroce1594]

Neat piece of equipment. Like your channel.. You give alot of information for us to make great decisions. Thanks

[@jakeschisler7525]

My driveway is a pain because not only all downhill but at an angle. Last year we got a hold of a guy who owns a dump truck and some of it he drove and unloaded a lot of it and then behind the house he dumped it in a huge pile. That area has different angles and i never ever messed with gravel and a tractor. It was a learning experience. Some of it turned out not bad but some not so good. That bucket contraption is pretty cool as others have said.

[@Winger2325]

I have been looking for something like this for a while. Your video sold me on my latest purchase LOL yep I just bought one. Thank You again for your time and effort! Stay Safe!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congrats! Simple but effective.

[@jakem.6359]

I like it... Would be a great attachment for my track loader.

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

That's impressive I'm going look into one of these thanks for sharing I enjoy your videos🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@rodbagley1686]

I did the same thing with my grapple last fall. Tilt it forward and back down the driveway only about 8 things digging in but worked good backing up. Just worried about messing up the grapple doing it. Seemed unhurt but still wasn't designed for that but use what you got.

[@tucksmith8300]

That driveway looks good

[@thomasjfarver2101]

That’s one slick outfit. I think it’s a must have attachment. Tim, you had mentioned your driveway was pretty firm, wondering if it has the ability to cut through mine that’s hard packed and hasn’t been maintained in a few years.

[@JonStratford1234]

What a great attachment. Thanks for the video.

[@RonaldDean-eq2cb]

I like it, that’s my job for today rebuilding the driveway from the winter use and damage. I have to use my box blade though. The only concern about the leveler is the teeth. If you use it a lot it looks like you will be r-ring teeth after a while. It looks like it would be worth it though. Great video Tim I’m glad there’s another option and I will be looking into it

[@richardhowell2607]

Like it Tim. Looks like it would work better than a land plane.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Great tool guys!

[@coleobrien2]

Ordered mine today! Thanks Tim and Christy! Hope its money well spent in my case

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@brian644]

thanks for this one.... i definitely need that

[@WaynesAdventure]

Wow I really like it!! I need my land leveled with one of those

[@sail72]

Looks like a very good,, multi-use attachment. The price is right. Plus you don't have to crane your neck around to look behind the tractor as much as the towed ground engaging tools.

[@rcguy18]

Most coolest idea for a needed tool I have seen in while. Homebuilt version I see in the future for me

[@meagerhair6202]

Also would be great for breaking up ice on the gravel in the winter. And big bonus is wife will use this. The land plane gets tricky to keep from bogging down at times.

[@mrbubetube]

I was wondering about that myself. I hope he gets an opportunity to test if it will make a good ice breaker.

[@shanesherwood343]

Where was that when I was trying to decide box blade or land plane another great advantage I see is if you have a backhoe you can grade dirt or your driveway and not have to take it off

[@cathyhigh379]

I liked that may have to buy one thanks Doug

[@beardedobserver5947]

That looks great

[@snoriverrc3842]

I definitely need something like this, I have a 1000 yard driveway that I use a harrow on now, but I've never even tried to remove my 1023's bucket and I'm pretty sure it isnt a quick connect.

[@GrampysTractor]

That plane did a great job looks to be a lot better to control being up front and saves your neck too

[@kivetts04dmax]

I was looking at these a few days ago that go on a skid steer and was thinking they would be really useful on a tractor loader. I sure wish I had seen this video a few days ago😂 I WILL be ordering one, I think this would be perfect for me!!

[@kivetts04dmax]

The ones I saw had a spot on the top where the angled braces come down they had like mounts on the bottom of the angles so you could put it on your trailer and put your bucket on it to save space.

[@Kcolby47]

That is a handy unit for several uses, surfaces and applications as you demonstrated. I assume for some finish pases, one could put the loader in float while going in reverse. Blessings.

[@kengoldbeck6363]

Great content. I love this attachment. If I had not seen you use it,I would not given it any merit. Now its on my wish list. By the way,Rex gets extra credit for providing content opportunities.

[@bparsons72007]

That'll be great for garden bed preparation.

[@HeavyHitch]

We did use it on our property last fall to rip up the grass in an area of our yard so we could reseed it this spring. Worked well!

[@frankwrogg2515]

Looks like it would be great for putting lawns in.

[@ericvortecmax]

That would be perfect for leveling after clearing out small trees and brush. I think it would do good at removing roots left behind.

[@tuberstitious]

I have used my root grapple to similar effect but need to be more careful moving forward with it. Nice tool and video.

[@NotMuchHere]

part 3 ... ripping out stumps too ... i still think a 50hp with backhoe is on my wishlist! :)

[@karldawnlang8936]

Awesome video! Which this was out before I got a DR power rake several years ago. DR works just more money. Have actually been drawing up much the same except from the chain harrow vs spikes perspective. Spikes would be awesome 1 or 2 passes then pure leveling function for my tasks though. However, the loader float function could less aggressive too. HH products rock!

[@mikechovan8351]

Very interesting,think I need one

[@robertkoch1936]

Another tool to put my wish list.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Looks great

[@carltrano1325]

Seems like a very effective tool for leveling. I would love to see you run it on a larger tractor.

[@holland3g1]

Land Plane on the back, and this tool on the front and you are in business. I think just this though wouldn't leave me satisfied. Having the ability to comb out the gravel and humps better at the end of the land plane run would be a great bonus though.

[@johndenver8574]

Thank you Tim for the review. I'd probably use a 3 piont hitch version of this instead.

[@wraith3951]

I think this should be used in looser material or used to complement the landplane. Going forward use the landplane, going in reverse use this tool. 👍🏾

[@benmiele9794]

Yep looks like a great tool for many reasons, how about redoing an existing area of lawn that u want to bust up the existing sod layer, level soil, and reseed maybe after the harrow goes over it. Id like to see a video like that, like in place of an expensive harley rake.

[@eddiehenrard5251]

Would love one of these here in New Zealand; my stone driveway needs it! May have to build one…

[@donalexander4083]

i like that tool alot

[@davidbiggerstaff7116]

Order mine today. An adapter for 3 point use would be great option.

[@NotMuchHere]

roads are fun ... a little rock on the top is ok/good, but its slippery and slides to the edges. Rock is cheaper than crunsh and run / dusty but the dusty stuff packs and makes a great base. Its a balancing act. Thanks for showing alternative tools ... no to convince the boss/wife

[@christophergherke446]

Thanks Tim and Christy for showing some of the capabilities of little johnny.

[@derekdreke4990]

Grader bars are awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@user-bo1cf4lq8u]

I need one of those!!!!!

[@justadbeer]

Good video Tim. I'm sure it has it's place, but not sure this is better than the land plane I already have (at the same price) as I can drop the ripper shanks and get down deep to pull up the compressed gravel if needed, and also leave a smooth surface, put a crown, and even go faster.

[@meds4all]

I'd like the chance to test one before buying. Given what was seen in the video I believe this maybe a better answer for my situation then the land plane I currently have.

[@bernardtyo980]

I use my bucket with the piranha bar. It works for me. A nice video though.

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@TheCritterWindow]

Looks like it works good. Looks like it could use a weight bar so it does all the downward work.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yea, a weight bar might be interesting. Would want it near the rear so that you can still use it sorta like a bucket to dig.

[@billweaver3114]

Tim howdy from out in Macon mo loved the video and man I could definitely use that implement I like it being out in front always enjoy watching your videos stay safe and God bless you and your family

[@drewwagner7985]

Interesting attachment. The lines would drive me crazy. It would be great if the scarifiers could retract and have a more of a land plane effect with a couple of angled cross bars on the frame. This definitely solves the end and beginning issues which accompany the use of box blades and land planes.

[@BigbearSM-IL]

Damn Tim, you did it again! Show me something I need. I grade my driveway and another gravel road at least once a year. I have used my Heavy Hitch tooth bar on my bucket to loosen areas, but always afraid of using too much down pressure. And with my new yard needing grading, this looks like a win win. I hope Heavy Hitch is still using Fastenal as a shipper.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. They are! Good time to get some more weights, or a second attachment at the same time!

[@andrewhoggett8148]

It's seems a lot like a scarifier for gravel left a nice finish

[@joebarrett9830]

What's the added expense of the land harrow for a smoother surface? Needing to buy two attachments for what a land plane can do alone. Granted the land plane would need the scarifiers down and then raised for the smooth surface and would take several more passes. It really breaks up the hard pan being able to use different tilt angle and using down force that a 3-point can't provide. Most customers would want a smooth surface though instead of the ruts as a final product. It's still really nice and does a wonderful job breaking things up. Maybe they will figure out a way to retract the blades that break it up for a final grade option to make it smooth.

[@BrickyardPowerMan]

Would be interesting to see a variation of this land leveler that adds adjustable ripper shanks to allow for deeper ripping. Similar to how they are optional on box blades and landscape planes.

[@shawndickmann8215]

I do this exact similar thing tipping my bucket down and back dragging with my piranha tooth bar. It's cheaper, but effective.

[@JimJWalker]

Good idea!

[@williamholt7531]

I do the same with my ratchet rake.

[@johnsmick211]

Looks tbe making a good seed bed too

[@trevorvan3840]

Hey Christy and Tim, long time subscriber. Love the channel you have and great job. I’ve been meaning to write about how impressed I am with a few of my simple attachments, like the smudge bar. I use mine with an old b7100, it requires very little hp and skill but best of all it works! I’d love to see some videos using these low cost implements showing just how much can be achieved. Keep it up. Trev

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks. What is a smudge bar?

[@codyknutson3872]

I just took the ruts out of my driveway with a 3 point box blade and the whole time I was thinking there has to be a better way than this. Thanks for the video. Putting my order in.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep! Box blade will do it, but causes lots of side effects too!

[@jdfleetguy28]

Awesome video Tim, I really love that new product / attachment. 100% SOLD. So much so, I Ordered 2 of them this morning, one for my Boomer 8N and 1 in JDQA for use with all my compact Deere machines. Also been meaning to get a few other things from HH, like the nut and bolt bin, and a dozen suitcase weights etc etc. Love that you ship it all via Fastenal for only $185.00 . Thanks again for TTWT discount , it saved me over 300 bucks with my HH order this morning.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thank you! Hope you are loving that boomer!

[@jdfleetguy28]

@@TractorTimewithTim You’re welcome! This going to be a big help fine tuning all this pond dirt I am trying to disperse so I can’t plant grass this spring. I would likely order another one if they ever bring out say a 72” or larger version. 8N Boomer is doing great. Mostly just been hauling my IBC totes around with it watering trees and shrubs so far.

[@HeavyHitch]

Thanks for your order, we are so grateful for our partnership with Fastenal to help save on shipping costs! As well as our partnership with TTWT to show off our products!

[@genegriffith1283]

@TractorTimewithTim We bought a property with a dirt driveway. Would you remove dirt first before adding gravel? If so how much should I remove and how thick should the gravel be?

[@macdawg6403]

Nice Vid!

[@TexasSheepdawg21]

Ooooh. I need one.

[@stromxtc2033]

Pothole Terminator. Looks pretty good

[@alantrott6581]

Seems like a game changer especially as a regular maintenance tool. It didn't look like those teeth were replaceable and that the front would wear down sooner than the other three rows. Killer on the dirt. Did you try it in float?

[@theodorebaker5795]

Thank you for demo, interesting gravel driveway tool. I am curious if first going up and down driveway using the box blade with tines, then going back up and down driveway using the land leveler would be faster or a advantage and less work, maybe it becomes more work. Enjoyed the cats roaming and playing too!

[@BitCounter]

Brackets for suitcase weights might help.

[@jefflawsonqwest]

I think since you seem to like it more going backwards, maybe it would be better as a 3-point implement. Maybe with a tilt cylinder to adjust aggressiveness.

[@MrAlaskaJoe]

Have to look into this attachment. To smooth out the grooves I have a section of chain link fence with pipe for even pull and weights on boards across it. Rolls up and lifts with 3 points hitch. Would the float function have any application?

[@hoyks1]

Have you thought about adding some ballast weights to the implement so it will have more down pressure, but not relying on the down force from the loader? It might be an option to put the loader in float and help maintain steering. Over here in Australia we have something similar for skid steers and 3-in-1 buckets, we call it a smudge-bar.

[@johndavis7273]

Basically a land plane on the front with more controls... Interesting

[@Zanderthelab]

It’s the same amount of controls, but you could actually add more functions to the rear end adding more controls to the rear than the front.

[@aaronburford5701]

Now this was interesting and unique implement! I love the demo on the driveway work. Liked, Viewed, Shared, Subscribed!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@bradleymcclintock7771]

Well, old boy, I think you have sold me on that unit. I think what it needs is a flopper plate like a rototiller has to smooth it out, one that could be let down to complete the task 🤔 and left up to do the heavy work.

[@krule8]

Looks to be a great implement. I wonder if it would leave less ridges if the teeth were offset for every other row?

[@lonewolfFirearms]

My one question: how do you create the driveway crown? A landplane on the 3point can be angled. You can't angle this.

[@genewilliams7497]

No one ever puts enough crown in their roadways in my opinion…. I built mine 15 plus years ago and have NEVER had to do any Maintence of any kind to it. It has at least a foot of crown in it and was set up like concrete, I also let the grass grow into the edges to hold the gravel so it doesn’t push out and just mow the edges. Built right driveways require little to no on going Maintence because they receive so little actual traffic. Handle your water correctly and most issues will disappear. Cool tool for the weekend warrior though…. I really enjoyed the deere repair series on the auction tractor. 🔥🔥👍👍

[@TheDew1983]

A good road or even a long driveway needs crowned for drainage and packed in with a good hard pan. if it’s left loose you’ll have washboards,pot holes,dust, along with the loose rock will be pushed to the side in a very short time period. If it’s a short driveway or just parking spots clean rock is fine and looks good. Long driveways/ roads do not last long when left with clean loose stone I would recommend watering and packing it as soon as everything is regraded this alone may make your road last years before needing regrading again.
