Virnig V60 96-Inch Land Plane for Skid Steers🔵 Mid
✓ No hydraulics required
⚠ Too heavy for most small-frame machines
✓ Best on mid-frame or large-frame machines
View on virnig.com →
Overview
The Virnig V60 96-inch land plane is built for high-production grading on farm yards, gravel roads, and large unpaved surfaces. No auxiliary hydraulics required — float mode follows ground contours automatically. A reversible bolt-on cutting edge (5/8"×8") extends service life without welding. Sized for large-frame skid steers with a loader capacity over 1,500 lbs. The optional hydraulic scarifier breaks up hard-packed or frost-heaved surfaces before grading. Heavier and more rigid than most comparable land planes. Built in Minnesota and available in Canada through Virnig's dealer network.

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
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach — no auxiliary hydraulics required.

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.
