Tim works through pothole repair at a friend's property, discovering the land plane alone can't break hardpack and switching to a Heavy Hitch tooth bar as a scarifier. He also reflects honestly on the full time and cost involved in hauling out for paid odd jobs. Best for owners weighing a land plane purchase or curious about pairing it with a tooth bar.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, though this video includes sponsored equipment (the land plane was provided by Tough Line) and promotional mentions of Heavy Hitch.
Tim found the land plane was not heavy or strong enough to dig into the rock itself on the hardpacked surface, even after several passes.
Tim switched to a Heavy Hitch tooth bar, which dug right in, then tried using it as a scarifier while pulling excess material with the land plane.
About two hours on the actual project, plus three and a half hours of prep, one hour each way driving, and about thirty minutes unloading.
A five-foot Tough Line land plane, which he felt was the right size, giving extra width helpful for side-to-side leveling.
