OT- New Toy. Sort of.

SGH

I bit the bullet and bought a land level. Fixing to try it out. My wife is going to be beyond irate. Furious and rabid is a under statement. Oh well......

texaswig

Is that just a fancy way to say box blade or are they different.

SGH

No. A box blade is totaly different brother. This is a land leveler.

But you needed it for the Eggs new home, that seems fair and reasonable >-

Grillin_beers

Any expense that relates to an egg is completely understandable. Well, that's what I wish my SWMBO would say anyways! I mean if you're going to build something might as well do it right. I can't wait to see pics of your egg's new home!

Yes, yes - that will make her feel much better. Tell us @SGH, where do you sleep during these deals, on the couch, out in the shop, or under the stars?

SGH

Some more shots.

I'm sure it's not the first or the last time  )

If you need to test it on a gravel driveway with 2 huge potholes I'm only about 45 minutes away down I-10/I-12!!

I have a neighbor who has 20 acres of woods and pasture for his horse. He uses one of those to level his land with all the horse crap and honest his acreage is quite beautiful in its natural way, but it wasnt until he got that leveler. The trees there are huge and old and some day he will sell that land for a bundle!

SGH

I hope to do the very same!! Sell for a bundle!!

anzyegg

I never have seen one. A great tool for you!

Sounds reasonable  Nice purchase

A man can never have enough tractor implements! Until he has them all.

@anton‌
Brother I agree 100 percent. Just wish that my wife did!!

SGH

She just doesn't get it brother @‌anton. She must be a democrat at heart

grege345

Now this is a land leveler

Gogogordy

Nobody needs a rabid spouse....cook her somethin' tasty and break the news gently. You'll both be fine (after you stop bleeding of course)

SGH

@Gogogordy‌
I hid it behind the house until tomorrow. Hope that I'm feeling better tomorrow and I will let the cat of the bag.

So...she wants somebody else to pay the bill :-\"

SGH

@NPHuskerFL‌
Exactly my friend. She expects me to pay for this stuff. Who does she think that she is

But it ain't green.  

SGH

All the paint will be gone soon any way brother @bud812‌

tarheelmatt

That's a nice unit there brother!  Congrats!  Now get to work on this project!

HendersonTRKing

Level land is priceless!!  Too much slope could cause a conniption in my neck of the woods!

You can't go wrong with Land Pride, they make good quality items. Have fun!

SGH

@tarheelmatt‌
I'm really trying brother. My old body just won't hold up like it use to. I find myself resting more than I do working.

@yellowdogbbq‌
Agreed sir. If you buy their heavy duty models it's excellent equipment. Woods is another really good one. Brown, Landpride and Woods are the Big 3 of aftermarket equipment manufactures. Can't go wrong with any of them.

SGH

Playing with my land leveler. Wish I would have bought one years ago.

Thatgrimguy

Those things are the stuff!!!!  I need to get some loads of sand and spread them out with that bad boy!

Don't let the conservation District catch you with all that disturbed earth fill with no erosion and sedimentation pollution control appertenances.
