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 implement.

Application

The Land Pride GS25 Series Grading Scrapers come in 
72", 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 GS25 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 GS25 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.
