Grader leveler or ground leveler?

Skid Steer Land leveler Attachments
Here are some things to know about land levelers in order to choose the right attachment for you.
1. You can do more than grade soil
Land levelers are used for more than just grading the soil. It's perfect for:
- Remove weeds from around fences, trees and buildings
- Maintaining driveways and grading them
- Peeling off and removing the sod
- Hard ground can be ripped up
- General Cleaning
A skid steer leveler can make quick work of any of these applications.
2. Permanent Edges Vs Replaceable Edges
The bottom of the land leveler attachment has two edges. Some manufacturers bolt them on while others weld. Permanent edges are a hassle to replace because they eventually need to be. To replace welded edges you must torch them and then weld on new ones. A bolt-on edge, however, is easier to replace and more convenient.
All MechMaxx attachments have bolt-on edges. This design saves time and effort when replacing the edges. MechMaxx's edges can be reversed, which is an additional benefit. You can use each edge twice as much.
3. The Scarifier Option
Hydraulic scarifiers are a great way to level out compacted ground. The scarifier can also be raised or lowered directly from the vehicle's cab. The MechMaxx Shanks can be adjustable and reversible and will break up compacted earth for the land leveler to spread. It is also removable and easy to clean or repair.
4. Weight Matters
You can determine the quality of an attachment by its overall weight. The frame is the main component of a land leveler.
The frame of a heavier leveler is made from more steel. Also, you'll want to consider the cutting edge's width and thickness. A wider, thicker cutting edge will typically be stronger and last longer.
Find the right land leveler for you
Not all skid steer levelers are created equal. Consider the above factors when choosing the best attachment for your needs. Consider whether the edges of the attachment are replaceable or permanent. Also, determine if the scarifier is the right option for your project. Finally, pay attention to its weight.
