Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Grading Scraper has been designed with care and
built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The Land Pride GS25 Series Grading Scrapers come in
84" and 96" working widths with a Category l & ll
3-point hitch for attaching to tractors in the 40-90 hp
working range. The hitch is also Quick Hitch compatible.
Grading Scrapers have uses and applications in
landscaping, farms, ranches, construction sites, hunting
camps, fishing camps, logging sites, mining operations,
large estates, small acreages, sod farms, and municipal
and county rural road maintenance facilities. These
Grading Scrapers are uniquely designed to be extra user
friendly and a low cost alternative for road grading
applications. Unlike a box scraper, they are not designed
to transfer large volumes of dirt from one location to
another and as a result do not require the additional
horsepower that a box scraper normally requires. Nor
does it require the tending of tractor 3-point lift controls to
maintain grade that a box scraper might require.
Simply setting a properly adjusted GS Series Grading
Scraper on the ground and driving forward enables the
operator to grade off high spots and fill in ruts and low
spots on unimproved roads and lanes with little or no
manipulation of the tractors 3-point hitch controls. Unlike
a rear blade, they require no adjustment of blade angling
or offset positions. The GS Series Grading Scraper
simply and quickly moves dirt or aggregate from high
spots to low spots. Should a large accumulation of
unwanted buildup of soil or aggregate occur between the
blades, initiating a slight raise on the tractors lift controls
will allow excess material to flow out uniformly and
evenly under the leveling scraper blades.
See “Section 6: Specifications & Capacities” on page
15 and “Section 7: Features and Benefits” on page 16
for additional information and performance enhancing
options.
