Overview
The 72-inch-inch land plane grades gravel roads, laneways, and acreage driveways to a smooth, crowned finish. HLA Attachments attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Front and rear scarifier shanks break up compacted material before the blade redistributes it evenly. Designed for skid steers and CTLs with universal SSQA mounting. Canadian-manufactured by HLA Attachments (Ontario). Available through GLC Equipment and HLA dealers.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You maintain gravel driveways, rural roads, acreage laneways, or field access roads with a skid steer
- Float mode is available on your machine — landplanes need to float to follow the contour of the ground
⛔ Skip if…
- Your surface is hardpan or frozen — a land plane rides on top of hard surfaces and doesn't cut into them
- You need to move large volumes of material — a land plane redistributes existing material, it doesn't load and dump
🔍 Also consider…
- Box blade for primary grading before final land plane pass
- Dozer blade if you need to push material rather than float and level
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect the floating blade for wear — sharp edges level properly; a worn-smooth edge scrapes without cutting and leaves a rough surface
- Lubricate blade hinge and float mechanism pivot pins each season — seized float pivots defeat the purpose of the attachment
- Check scarifier shanks for tooth wear or breakage before each use — a missing shank puts lateral load on adjacent shanks and the boom
- After use in mud or clay, clean accumulated material from the blade housing — dried clay adds uneven weight and prevents proper floating
- Inspect blade-mounting welds for cracking at season start — the float mechanism amplifies vertical stress on the mounting hardware over time
