Let me just say thank you, and holy crap this went way further than I anticipated haha. I don't know what I expected though. Most tractor preferences are closely held and always opposing it seems. I do know that I am going to rule out the Landplane. It just seems that it won't work effectively...

General upkeep on the driveway. Putting in a few other dirt paths/drives for tractor travel around the property. Maybe some grading in certain areas. I was planning on using the bucket to make some ditches along the driveway/path areas, but if I got the blade or boxblade I could do that. Other...

Thankfully (I guess depending on how you look at it haha), we own the property and the road. So it is ours to do with what we want, but also our burden to bear.

Thanks for the reply. I agree it really needs some new material put on it. I have been putting serious thought into biting the bullet and paying for something to put down on the last section that's really muddy. Also, the farm road is on our property and no one else has access to it. I...

Thank you everyone for the replies. I still see some disagreement haha. Basically what I've seen till now. I think my main hangup is will the dirt/material really "flow" over the landplane blades? I see people use it to great effect on gravel driveways but this is sand and dirt. I am going to...

Hello all, First let me apologize for rehashing this topic for the thousandth time. I cannot find a good discussion about this particular context. I recently had a new house built on acreage. I am buying an MX5400 for mowing, brush clearing, some dirt moving, and general tasks/maintenance...
