    Land plane?

    Those are all very cool but Im looking for a planer. It takes uneven ground and shaves the high spots and fills thelow spots, much like what y'all are posting but much longer to even out the overall field height. The drag types get the little bumps and holes and do it well but a planer will...

    Land plane?

    Land plane?
