Virnig V50 72-Inch Skid Steer Land Plane🔵 Mid
✓ No hydraulics required
View on virnig.com →
Overview
Virnig's V50 land plane uses a floating blade system to cut and fill in the same pass, self-leveling across undulations rather than bridging them. The 72-inch model suits most mid-frame skid steers with no auxiliary hydraulics required on the basic floating version. Virnig manufactures in Minnesota and distributes through a Canadian dealer network. Used on Canadian gravel driveways, rural roads, and yard maintenance.

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
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.
