​Comparison of Box Blades vs. Land Planes
 
Box Blade:
Pros:
  • Versatile tool for digging, grading, and moving soil and gravel.
  • Has a back, can transfer material and release it as you go. This is helpful when spreading new gravel, spreading topsoil, or pulling material up a hill to fix a wash out.
  • Less expensive to purchase than a comparable size Land Plane.
Cons:
  • As it’s suspended from the three point hitch it is affected considerably when the tractor travels over a high spot or low spot (example: your front tire falls into a pothole as you are traveling, this will cause the box blade to raise up and release some material)
  • Requires constant monitoring and three point hitch height adjustments as you go to make sure you are not picking up or releasing too much material.
Land Plane:
Pros:
  • The easiest to use grading tool, just adjust it once and drive until you get the results you want.
  • As it runs on long skid shoes against the ground when the tractor travels over a high spot or low spot the land plane is not affected (example: your front tire falls into a pothole as you are traveling the land plane will not be affected)
  • Does not require constant monitoring or adjustment as you go as it does not accumulate material, gravel or soil flows up an over the cutter bars.
Cons:
  • Will not transfer material as it does not have a back, material is constantly released up an over the cutter bars as you go.
  • More expensive to purchase than a comparable size box blade.
