The P-30 Land-Leveler
(Click on the Photos below for a Full Picture)

The triangle-shaped frame of this famous leveler makes its strength and durability unique.

Standard lengths of 60' and 80' have proven to fill the needs of most customers. Thick-walled drill pipe is used in points of particular stress.

Horsepower requirements are 175 h.p.-and-up and 200 h.p.-and-up respectively. 12' wheelbase and 38' ground clearance make transportation easier.

Hubs and spindles are large enough to carry the 18,000 to 22,000 lb. on 18.4 x 26 R-3, 6-ply tires.

The P-30 is laser adaptable and can be used in rough cut work and then for maintenance of ground that has been put to grade.

It is possible to convert this machine to an angle blade/bucket combination leveler by bolting plates onto the ends of the blade(s). This will allow for greater dirt carrying capacity.

The P-30's blades are adjustable to cuts of 17', 19', or 22½'. It is a simple matter to swing the blade frames to align cuff holes, insert bolts, and have the desired cut, as well as to unbolt the blades and swing then under the frame for narrow transport.

Since 1962 the P-30 has used a precision setting device that insures an even cut each time you use the leveler. Once set, the leveler will return to the same setting each time pressure is released from the hydraulic cylinder.

The P-30's front-end steering system provides fast response to the tractor's movement, allowing for short turns and for backing out of narrow places. A popular option which makes this large equipment even more manuverable is the addition of a rear hydraulic steering package. The P-30 can be used for leveling in new ground or for finishing and maintaining graded ground.

Leveler moldboards, levee squeezer blades, combine headers, etc. can be protected by the addition of polysheeting/polyplating, cut to fit and bolted on. This plastic sheet is inexpensive and greatly increases the life of equipment moldboards. The plating allows dirt and trash to move down the moldboards with less drag, which means easier pulling and less wear and tear on equipment. Headers are protected from wear. In the case of landlevelers, depending on the type of soil, farmers are getting into the fields 1 1/2 to 3 days earlier. Another benefit is that it eliminates winter maintenance of having to paint moldboards.

The plating comes in various thicknesses; some color options are available. Give us your blade dimensions and we will cut and ship your polysheeting, for you to bolt onto your equipment. A cost-effective and money-saving addition to any product with blades or headers.
