I got a “good deal” on a used Landpride gs0548 landplane.
The guy I got it from felt he bought the wrong implement for his gravel drive and after using it I have to agree! This model has a problem!
The blades are set at a very aggressive 1.5” below the skids. They are welded in place so you cannot adjust the cut and have to use the TPH instead of just dropping the grader scraper and pulling.
The next model up, the 15 series has adjustable blades. The owner’s manual for the 1548 says you can adjust from even with the skids to 1.5” below and the most common setting is 1/4” below the skids.
What is Landpride thinking setting the gs0548 at the most aggressive setting?
