You should be able to pull a 7' easy. I built a 54" land plane and put a 55 gal barrel on it for weight. It probably weighs 7-800 lbs and does a super job. I have about 3-$350 in it. A land plane works much better than a box blade for maintenance, box blade moves material from one place to...

I would read the reviews at http://www.palletforks.com/titan-bx42-wood-chipper.html. I've chipped the branches of 5 russian olive trees so far, many more to go. I'm happy with it considering what I have to work with. I could use another 10 pto HP but who can't. 2" to 3" branches are no...

I purchased this one http://www.palletforks.com/titan-bx42-wood-chipper.html?gclid=CNTy1-XMj84CFUeUfgodZngDiQ. It was $1450 before a first time buyer discount of 10%. Bottom line was $1299.51 with free shipping. Worth a look. It doesn't do a great job with very small branches (pencil...

Thanks Grouse Feathers. I plan on welding the cutting edges in so no adjustments other than cutting the welds and re-positioning. Does the rear blade do any cutting if it is level with the rails?

Re: Land Plane Scraper Question - cutter depth I have most of the material to make the land plane. Could anyone enlighten me on how much below the rails should I set the cutting edges. I see on a factory box blade the cutter is set 1 1/2" below the rails. I have two cutting edges to work...

Thanks EIPO for the help. Guess I'll go with angled blades.

I found some new Land Pride box blade replacement cutting edges online for $45 or so each. They were 60" x 4"x3/8". I'm guessing that if they are stout enough for a box blade they would be ok for land plane. I'll use 3 or 4" angle to back up the cutting edges. I want it heavy so it doesn't...

I plan to build a land plane this year. I'll basically borrow from online pictures and I'm leaning towards the Land Pride GS15 style. I see some with the cutters angled to the rear and some not. What is the reasoning for the angles?. I have a quarter mile of hard pack gravel road to maintain...
