Land Pride grading scraper

[Pushing_Tin]

Try this link at ASC AGRI supply scroll all the way to the bottom. I have bought these and they are well made.

Thanks for the link, $74 is a bit spendy for a single tooth though.

I thought you were talking about the Box Blade rippers cause they are about $16 they are the last 4 Items on the page.

Just an update for anybody else looking for a replacement shank/scarifier. I ordered this complete one for only $11 plus shipping. I was actually pretty happy with the quality given the low price.

I'm about ready to purchase one of the Land Pride grading scrapers but am as yet not completely decided whether it will be the GS1548 or GS1560 model. My tractor is a Massey GC2600, 25HP, 4WD, with 3pt lifting capacity of 1191 lbs at the ball ends. I've been using a 5 foot boxblade with 4 scarifiers to maintain two drives/roads without any issues to speak of.

I'd prefer to have the gs1560 to extend past the tire width and for the extra 74 pounds to aid the rippers digging into the hard packed gravel which experience with the the boxblade would indicate that is a benefit.

Here's a quick summary of present members who've purchased the graders and their tractors to aid my decision.

Newtattobob, BX1850, GS1548. No problems

Tom H BX2200, GS1548. No Problems "more than enough power"

RPRaymond BX2200, GS1548. No problems.

Granite Tractor, B-3030, GS1560. No problems.

PSdx B-3030, GS1560. No problems "just fine in 2WD".

BlacknTan B-7800, GS1560. No problems.

Mlevendo MF180, GS1548.


So despite common misgivings about power and traction issues using this type of grader with any given tractor there has yet to be anyone who's felt this implement has has proved too big/heavy. That info combined with my own experience using a 5 foot box with no issues has me thinking the GS1560 should not pose any sort of problem with my GC2600 tractor. Is there anyone here who has information that the 5 foot grader may prove too large for my tractor?

Thanks

I have the 48". Once or twice I have snagged, had to back up, and start again. I think the bigger model would be a stretch for my 22hp Kubota BX. I run with Ag tires. I don't know anything about your Massey. Do you have hydro tranny or straight gears? Which type tires do you have and what's their diameter. If you run hydro, is it 2 range or 3? If straight gears, do you have an extra low pulling gear? Can you ballast the rear of the tractor (not the scraper, but the rear of the tractor itself)? What does your tractor weigh?

If you have straight gears with X-low pulling gear, ag tires, and ballast for rear of tractor, you're fine. If you have 2 range hydro, turf tires, no ballast, I would worry. Can you give some details?

The Massey appears similar to the BX2200 with a few more horsepower. Hydro two speed, loaded turf tires rear/front 26/18. Outfitted with front loader and operator total weight in the 2200 pound range.

Using my 5 foot boxblade as a guide which differential lock and 4WD could manage in all road conditions coupled with a quote from someone in this thread saying that the the drag from the grader is less than his same sized boxblade I feel reasonably confident the 5 foot scraper would be fine but, and that's a big but, .... Speaking with the dealer today he doesn't seem to think the larger model would not pose a problem for the GC2600 but it's purely conjecture.

Tom, curious what conditions hung you up? Scarifiers down/up? Wet/dry? Snaggin large rocks or other?

Thanks.

Jay,

It was bigger rocks down in the roadbed (pit run) that snagged the ripper. If you are able to run a 5' BB, then a 5' grading scraper should not be a problem. Your turf tires won't get the bite ag tires would but having them loaded helps overcome that.

You may well be o.k. I don't feel qualified to promise you that you will, however. Maybe someone else can chime in here.

Good luck regardless of what you decide.

Tom

Thanks for the info Tom. I'll pose the question another way, any here with the GS1548 and a sub-compact tractor wishes they had gone bigger? My biggest worry is weight on the rippers to ensure they break the surface without too many passes but I'd also like the unit to extend past my tires. Interestingly, when not using the rippers the 48" inch model actually provides more pounds per linear inch of blade on the ground therefore should dig a little better than the 60" model in that scenario.

I don't have any of the size equipment that you guys are talking about. But I do have it in larger sizes and it all is industrial weight-quality pieces. I have a hard time understanding how your grader blades are easier or equal to pulling your boxblades. I know that with both sizes of my tractors, the grader blades are more of a load for the tractors than the box blades are. After all, your pulling 2 blades vs a single blade. Now my grader blades are about 40% heaver than my box blades and maybe that is the reason.

Just wondering. :confused3:

That make sense, plus for many apps the boxblade is essentially dragging material across the ground whereas the grader blades are digging. When the scarifiers of the boxblade are digging in past 3 inches or so is the time I'm most inclined to lose traction. On hard packed gravel (in addition to making many assumptions) if a large portion of even one grader blade were biting in at only 1/2 inch that potentially is far more surface area therefore drag than 4 scarifiers at 3 inches.

I spoke to another dealer this morning to pick his brains and they feel the 48" would be the ideal unit.
