Yanmar 60″ Land Grader

Description

Yanmar YLG215 60-Inch Land Grader

The YLG215 is a 60-inch land grader for compact tractors from about 25 to 50 HP. Its twin blades, set at a 10-degree angle, make it one of the best tools for maintaining gravel driveways, because it re-levels the surface without digging deep ruts or pushing all the gravel to one side.

Construction

A heavy square-tube main beam and formed steel side panels carry the two blades, and depth adjusts from level to one and a half inches using the skid shoes. The high-carbon cutting edges are reversible and replaceable. The grader weighs about 430 pounds, heavy enough to hold its depth on firm gravel. Because it floats on skid shoes, the grader follows the ground’s general shape while trimming small bumps, which suits established drives.

• Hitch: Category 1
• Suggested tractor size: 25 to 50 HP
• Approximate weight: 430 lbs

Driveway Maintenance

A couple of passes each spring, after the frost is out, rebuilds the surface and fills potholes before they grow. Adding a thin layer of fresh gravel and grading it in keeps a drive in good shape for years.

Which Width to Choose

Pick the YLG215 for mid-size compact tractors and residential drives. The 72-inch YLG216 suits larger tractors, and the 54-inch YLG114.5 fits smaller ones.
