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 this product
Application
The Land Pride GS15 Series Grading Scrapers come in
48", 60", and 72" working widths and 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 GS15 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 GS15 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.
