Overview
The John Deere LP96B is a 96-inch land plane from the Worksite Pro attachment line for finish grading, gravel road maintenance, and site leveling on full-size Deere skid steers. The 8-foot width covers more ground per pass than narrower land planes on open roadways and large lot surfaces. Part of the Worksite Pro attachment family for John Deere machines. Available through John Deere dealers and Brandt across Canada.

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
Designed for John Deere machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
About John Deere in Canada
John Deere attachments are available through an extensive Canadian dealer network, ensuring local service, parts availability, and warranty support coast to coast. Designed to pair with JD machines but compatible with any skid steer via universal quick attach.
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
How to Connect
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic tilt circuit if equipped (some are passive/manual)
- Set cutting angle before working (typically 0-5° for finish grade)
⚠ Safety NoteLandplanes are mostly passive attachments. Float mode on machine recommended for finish work.
