The most useful takeaway is a candid real-world data point, a 7-foot land plane genuinely taxed a 68-hp tractor at low RPM. Best for owners weighing land plane sizing.
An owner-operator homesteader channel documenting their learning curve on a newly purchased hay farm in East Texas.
It can, but it is fully taxed. The operator says that 7-foot land plane was all his 68 horsepower tractor wanted, and it bogged down and stopped at one point.
Stay at higher RPM. The operator was at about 1,800 to 2,200 PTO RPM; running around 1,500 caused the tractor to stop moving entirely.
It is a land plane with a rear gate that drops down to turn it into a box blade, combining both tools in one implement.
