"We gambled on purchasing a 10ft LANDPLANE® from G.T Newman, General Engineering, Dargaville from a photo & description advertised in the Farm Equipment news. We are very pleased with the way it performs.

This size LANDPLANE® requires a minimum of 80 H.P tractor to pull it. It is great on levelling ditch spoil etc. Ploughed ground no need for your roller.

We farm at Mokotua 22kms South East of Invercargill found the above firm excellent to do business with.

We welcome anyone who would like to come and view this implement."

Yours sincerely,

"Over the last twelve months I have been developing property into 10 acre lots on a peninsula of the Kaipara harbour  views, just out from Maungaturoto which has great views and water access.

Large amounts of soil had been dumped adjacent to our roads and right of ways over 6.5 kilometres. We were forced with having to tidy up and level it off to make lines accessible for fencing and to create a well presented property. Firstly I tried a levelling bar with reasonable success and then I tried the land plane for about 2 hours - the difference in performance and finish was quite staggering I'd say it's at least ten times better than the leveller and I bought the land plane the same day as I trialled it.

Over three months I spread 15,000 cubic meets of lime rock all the clay and topsoil has been levelled off and the LANDPLANE® still looks like new. For the money invested the LANDPLANE® is, in my opinion, the best machine for the job that I have ever owned and it has performed way beyond my expectations. It's a very versatile machine and I would recommend it to anybody for levelling paddocks, any race work, lime rock or metal jobs. The box does a superb job in trailing rnetal and for the cost it's great value for money".

"I recently purchased the 3.0m model of the LANDPLANE® and have since had the opportunity to use it in a number of varying situations. So far I have been very pleased with it and have been particularly impressed by its versatility. The LANDPLANE® can be used equally well as a blade scoop or a leveler and is therefore useful for most types of contouring work.

The first opportunity I had to use the LANDPLANE® was for the construction of a hard stand area, used for the storage of balage. The area had to be constructed into the side of a hill and using the LANDPLANE® I was easily able to reduce the bill by 1.8m. As I became more familiar with the use of the LANDPLANE® I was also able to create slopes for water run-off and slope the area as the customer required.

I have been using a 4WD, 95hp, 4255 MF to pull the LANDPLANE® and have found it to be more than adequate for everything I have used it for so far.

I would highly recommend the LANDPLANE® for anyone who wants to do serious contouring work. It is relatively easy to use and ultimately saves you a lot of time and money."

I just wanted to let you know that we are very happy with the LANDPLANE® we got in June.  We have been doing a lot of paddock work in the last month and it just works GREAT.  It is a very enjoyable machine to work with and the results are excellent. We certainly will recommend it to anybody who is looking for a level, because it is not just a level. I am very impressed.

I have owned a LANDPLANE® for six years and have been most impressed with its versatility and ease of operation.  Used with a hydraulic top link it has been very successful in all the jobs I have done.

I used it to reform my driveway and ended up after 4 hours work with a crowned road with water table and smooth surface ready to apply metal.  The same job done with a grader blade and leveler has in the past taken me well in excess of double the time with an inferior end result.

I have used it after disking when developing peat swamps, for spreading drain banks and for spreading topsoil on my airstrip to repair stock damage.  The LANDPLANE® is a very solidly built implement that adds value to our farming operation.

Our farm is 730ha, with sand, peat and sandstone soil types.  We farm beef breeding cows, including a stud and finish all stock.  With more than a 3rd of our farm developed from scrub during the last 20 years I understand the need for good implements.  This is one.
