Land plane size.

[JRS]

I am considering purchasing a land plane to maintain a 3/4 mile gravel road. I have a MX6000. Should a buy a 6’ or 7’ wide? Also any brand recommendations?

possible option... once driveway is 'restored'...
....
The late farmer across from me only ever used a steel bar with chains behind it, every Sunday after church and before brunch. it was the BEST gravel driveway in the county. It was 12-14' wide,so one pass house to road, then road to house. he'd make 3-4 'runs'.

I'd go 7' ... I like my Bush Hog brand, but if you think you may want, or need the rippers, look for another brand, for weeds I think I'd like rippers, but for actually restoring the driveway, I don't need them ... A short video ...

It really does a good job remixing the gravel!

I have a 6 ft for my L2501HST, and it works fine. Which ever one you get, get a heavy one since you have the power.

I have a 48" Land Pride with rippers, and my BX23S handles it well. I like Land Pride products, and they have served me well. I have worked it hard, and it's a valuable tool that will serve you well.
Check the Land Pride website to find the model rated for your tractor. I believe they can reach up to 8 feet wide.
