Transporting
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always keep a safe distance from obstructions. The implement
can extend beyond tractor tires and makes a wide swinging
pattern when turning. Never hit solid objects with implement
as this can damage property and cause tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of control.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
•
Make sure implement does not block tractor’s Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) sign when transporting on a public road. If
operators in vehicles approaching from the back cannot
easily see the sign, then install one on the implement that is
visible to warn of your presence.
•
When transporting, secure the scraper in the up position
with the cylinder transport lock. Hydraulics can seep or
burst dropping the scraper resulting in loss of control.

turning; and leave enough clearance so the scraper
does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees,
or fences.
4. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or
hilly terrain.
5. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a
way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

General Operating Instructions
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s
Manual, completed the operations checklist, and
properly attached your Land Pride Pull Type Drag
Scraper to your tractor, you are now almost ready to
begin work. Make sure you have checked out your work
site for any buried utility cables, pipelines, or other
obstacles that you wouldn’t want to damage or
encounter.
Pull Type Drag Scrapers are ideal for moving large
quantities of material, leveling, finish grading, and
removal of material on an angle. They have applications
on feedlots, outdoor arenas, building sites, maintenance
operations on farms, private roadways, sloping ground,
building terraces, and making ditches
The scraper’s primary purpose is grading and leveling. If
tilt axle is used, it can also do angle work. These
functions are best done at an approximate ground speed
of 2 to 4 mph. Simply lower the scraper to the ground
and proceed forward. The grader blade should
immediately begin shaving the soil surface or aggregate
material and accumulating it in the box. You can transfer
this material by dragging it to a nearby location and then
raising the scraper to deposit your load. You can also
