- I love grading. It's one of those kinds of projects where results are immediate. Like mowing a lawn. So you feel your progress and see the improvement as you go. Today we grade our newest section of drive with the Summit TX25 and the Dirt Dog 48 Land Plane. There is a section of this drive that is rather sloped from one side to the other, so we're going to experiment and not crown this section in hopes that water will shed downhill. Time will tell if this is a mistake or not. But if it is, we'll just hop back on the tractor and re-grade!

Yeah that truck driver know exactly what he’s doing. He saving you a crap load of tractor seat time. Your driveway is coming together nicely. 👍
Good truck drivers make a world of difference!
My first thought was how great a delivery driver you had! Great information, thanks!
I would let the dump truck comeback when you are done with a load of maint. Gravel and give the driver $50 bucks to run up and down the entire gravel drives and ‘ROLL/Compact the finished gravel in to seal it in. The tires and weight work perfectly for this.
Yep, Tom with Balkema does that for me. Makes a big difference.
The driveway is looking great! Liking that Summit tractor more and more with every video.
Love this attachment and commentary!
Thanks buddy driveway looking good thanks for sharing 👍
Looking good. Headlights look sick on that tractor.
They are pretty killer!
Looking forward to when summit finally releases this tractor
I put that fabric down on my 1000' gravel driveway 11 years ago and it has held up fairly well but has popped to surface a couple of places on the sides. Maybe the contractor didn't cover it well enough. I have put some gravel down couple of times since and it's the recycled rock from concrete and was washed and holds up well. and I'm afraid it I ran something like that over the drive it might get down to the fabric but watching you maybe it won't. Thanks for awesome videos.
Have a 96" land plane at work. It works awesome for our mile long drive.
Your right they do a great job
The real MVP will be the fuel savings by spreading the stone out with a compact or subcompact tractor. Looking forward to seeing how the lane dressing holds up. Great work as always 👍
Good point, thanks for swinging by. Have a good one!
Looking good! Feeling a 1’ deep ditch with large rocks every few feet is coming soon on the uphill (fence) side of that drive tho… with a couple of strategic perpendicular relief drains under the road or away from the road at key low spots… More fun times ahead!
Definitely could be in my future, bit of an experiment I suppose!
That's what I need for my .2 of a mile driveway where a small seasonal stream goes over at a low spot to a larger stream to the west.
If I can, I may try to redirect above in our field (swales and berms directed to the east side of the 11 acre field to another seasonal stream), but nature has been flowing this way for a long time..... Hugh, I think I will need a culvert, but like the idea of the rocks you give to guide the flow. First, I need my first tractor. Love my new farmette of 21 acres in farthest northeast AL.
Great commentary!
Really liking the SUMMIT tractor! I will wait on their 35hp cab version though. The success of the single slope section of the gravel drive depend solely on how many acres/area drains across that area…. looks great!! 👍👍
I hear ya...I'm looking forward to that one too. Will be a nice compliment. There is a noll back in that woodlot not too far away. I believe much of this water will drain in other directions. We'll find out!
Watched and Listened to the commentary! Great info shared in the video, shared, Subscribed, Listened again! Great video great listen and learned qlot!
The driveway is shaping up really nice Courtney! Great job - love the land plane - so simple and effective to use. Tractor weight is a really important on these smaller tractors for sure. It would be interesting to know why ( or what is different on) the Summit, making it so heavy compared to the equivalent JD or Kubota models - what makes the Summit so much heavier? Cheers - enjoy the long weekend!
It will be interesting to see how the driveway holds up where water goes across it. Around here in central Minn-a-snow-ta they use a material called Class 5. The past 2 springs have been disasters with lots of mud and washout. We had a guy come in this spring and lay asphalt millings and So far when we’ve had heavy rains, nothing washed out. Love that tractor. Hopefully they’ll be for sale around here.
I wish that guy had done my drive! The guy that did mine had absolutely no idea what he was doing...
... That guy was me.
Rewatched! Great content and video! Viewed, Liked, Subscribed!
I like the golden color better... I use a 60" box scraper, I don't have a landplane. With the hydraulic top link, the box scraper is very versatile and it does a flawless finish. The final step with the box scraper is tilting it back all the way, my box scraper has 2 blades, and basically back dragging the surface. The curve of that blade also works to compact the material. I would like to try a landplane sometime.
Very cool!
Nice work!
Appreciate the info, and you're time.
Question though. Is the Summit Tractor coming to Canada?
Almost 25 years ago, we started with about 500 hundred yards of busted concrete (still had the wire stickin' out) -- about a 300 foot winding driveway on virgin corn field. Today, about 500+ yards of 21A later, we've got a nice 2 tire track drive with grass in the middle. Woulda been nice to have that tractor you're drivin' -- got it on my 'things I want' list. 😊 (no, we never had problems with the wire from the busted stuff -- it's down deep).
I bet that looks very nice
Other than mirrors and few other things that tractor looks like my Mahindra emax 22 but green. Great little machines. I would buy it .
Been nice to have a hydraulic top link to adjust as you go.
100% agree, they're coming out with one that I'll add once available.
Go rent a roller to get that gravel compacted down once you’re all done grading 😀
A planar, out sloped surface is optimal design on a hiking trail, vs a crowned surface. This promotes sheet flow of drainage water, which avoids concentrated flow of water. It's the concentrated flow of water, far more than sheet flow, that promotes erosion.
Very good assessment, that's what I'm going for. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Courtney: I just bought a 4’ land plane. If you wanted to make a crown in the road how would you go about doing it?
It looks good Courtney the land plane does a beautiful job. Do you have plans for black top.
Thanks for stopping by Brian!
Took me about 4 years to get my long gravel driveway set up to what i considered it perfect (or close enough)
Overall i put 3 layers of material down and waiting some time between applications to allow it to set up and pack down (base material is ~1 1/2" iron ore rock - and wow it set up great)
Capped off with 3/4" stone and we love it.
Just be patient and work it until you get it like you want it.
Also, if i had unlimited resources i could have finished much quicker. 😎
Does this model have true 3pt position control, or just inching valve?
What’s the main difference between a land plane and box blade?
Will the Summit tractor be at the National Farm Machinery Show?
How much is a load delivered? Is this crusher run with fines for a good base?
Great video, Courtney! As you work the sloped area, I can see how much is drops off to the side. The picture in the video looks fairly flat which is deceiving. I would love to see how a land plane would work on a bumpy pasture to help smooth it out...hint...hint..
Morning Kyle...I've kind of sorta tried that. It is tough. Same thing with a box blade. If there's lots of organic matter and sod clumps, then it loads up very quickly and doesn't do an amazing job and pulling out all the sod. I think it can be done, but is a heck of a lot of work. Doing it for an entire pasture would be a nightmare in my opinion.
@@PgetzkeFarmstead A power harrow may do a good job too. I have only briefly seen one in operation, I wonder if GWT sells them.
You should be OK as long as the natural grade allows for runoff. I would think the only real issue would be that if any ruts are formed, they would be the entire width of the driveway. Which should mean more repair work than if the drive was graded with a crown.
Yeah, that's what I'll find out!
Perhaps use some large rock with some wood or concrete blocks (decorative stone type) to create an edge along the fence side which would lead to a "natural" place for you to install a few pipes to allow the water to drain under your gravel driveway. You can do this after you see how the water flows over the next few years. Wherever "Mother Nature" has water running is usually the lowest point, so you don't need to guess at it.
What is the gravel mixed with?
Off topic. I noticed that tractors with a skid loader quick connect buckets look like they have a more squared off bucket an John Deere buckets are more round on the inside and back side. Is that a normal thing or can someone find a John Deere bucket that’s more squared off bucket too.
I've driven rock trucks and semi rock trailers w/ 28' end dumps and if I had the clearance I could tailgate those loads but it had to be level or you could tip over. Especially if material got stuck in the nose of the trailer. Kinda etchy! Could that Summit tractor handle a 5' land plane? Seems like it could.
Yeah, I can see his rocking and rolling a bit too, it has a certain uneasy feeling...even without being inside the truck.
Probably depends on conditions...I think it's similar to that 3025e that bogs down with heavy loads on the 3 point. All that extra weight is good for some reasons, but does eat up power when pulling. 48" plane worked awesome though.
How many tons of rock did you order and how long of a driveway. Im asking because i have a driveway to gravel
A friend of mine had a full load of crushed asphalt delivered. He was planning on having it tailgated out and just finishing with hand tools… Let’s just say his driver wasn’t nearly this skilled (and the material was not cooperative). He ended up spending 3 days on a borrowed Kubota try to dig out. 🤪
When ever I get 10 yards of anything dropped off with those big dump trucks always leaves me underwhelmed with how much 10 yards look like lol
Haha, very true!
Well, not the 'only' tool. A Ventrac with the Power Rake would be ideal.
our drive is mostly clay with some rocks...hard to plane
Whew, I bet. Planes work great for a gravel drive though.
Its actually the truck that did most of the work. Be glad they didn't send a clown that dropped the load in a heap at the end of your driveway.
Tom is excellent. He’s tailgated probably over 100 loads for me with more to come. I wonder if he keeps track of his total loads. Has to be over 10,000 for his career. Professional.
Makes sense not to have a crown. A crown is fine when there's drainage on either side of the road. But if the drainage is only on one side, it seems much more preferable to grade the road to drain only in that direction.
I don't like crowns in dirt roads. It makes it awkward to Dukes of Hazard the corners, haha. Also, then I wouldn't have any potholes to fix which means less tractor time which is a bummer.
I just spread 40 yards in my driveway...40 more to go
We know Summit doesn’t have a tractor factory, who’s factory is building the Summit brand?
"150 tons of gravel" LOL. Right. Leveled a bit at a time, just like ANY tractor could do.
Exactly, that's how it normally works :)
@@GoodWorksTractors , some people just want to watch the world burn 🔥.
Haha, he wins the Mr. Obvious award this time around!
How much are you paying for 10 cubic yards of gravel out there?
You will be out there grading after every rain when your rock is washed away. Plan on paying for asphalt covering and your problem is solved unless you like the exercise and making tractor videos.
Fingers crossed, I'll prove you wrong. However, it's just an experiment. I could easily crown it in 20 minutes and water will flow down both sides of the drive.
@@GoodWorksTractors I think that material will lock up like concrete.
My drive is pathetic. Recently had tons of gravel dropped. "Arkansas Engineers" never do a job properly, they never finish a job. All seem to be members of the Duke and Haney clans. They drive like scamming idiots out of Hell. Too costly to sue the rodents...
Time to take matters into your own hands!
Title is very misleading first off you admitted that in different places the gravel was very thick and in other places thin... the correct way would be to use a box blade first to move the gravel to the lower spots and get the drive way closer to level then second step would be to use the land plane for final leveling. I do agree that a qualified/ experienced dump truck driver can save you a lot of time spreading out gravel
Lol, you don't need a box blade to move gravel. I move gravel all the time with a land plane and did it in this video. Nothing misleading at all. I sell tractor attachments. It would be to my advantage to say you need more than one tool because I'd make more money! But, alas, only one tool is needed :)
