#JOHN DEERE IGRADE LEVELING PLUS#

The iGrade controller enables and automates new water management applications, as well as John Deere's existing water management tool, Surface Water Pro™ Plus system. Top-loading scrapers in the raised position could void the scraper warranty. If the scraper is in the raised position, the force could cause extreme hydraulic pressure spikes, which can severely damage the hydraulic system of the scraper tractor and scraper.ĭuring top loading procedure, make sure the scraper blade is lowered and resting on the ground.

With the scraper sitting on the ground, this force travels into the ground through the frame of the scraper. Top-loading produces a force caused by the weight of the material falling into the scraper. When conditions do not allow for direct loading, John Deere scraper systems can provide as much as 80 tons per cycle in top loading capacity with triples. Heavily shielded hydraulic lines, cylinders, and components provide protection when top loading needs arise. The updated swept-back design to the top off the ejector wall provides a better, unobstructed bowl opening. John Deere scrapers are designed to handle the harsh conditions of top-loading scrapers. Experience additional savings from reduced fuel consumption by having only one tractor engine performing all of the work. Increase productivity moving more yards per cycle when using the 16-m 3 or 18.3-m 3 (21-cu yd or 24-cu yd) scrapers in tandem or triple configurations.Īpplications for the John Deere scraper systems are as follows: The savings are already adding up with the reduced labor requirements and lower investment costs. Factor in the labor costs, fuel burn, daily operating expenses of all the equipment used in the system, and it all adds up to half the savings over the life of the equipment. Self-propelled and truck/excavator earthmoving systems need additional support equipment to assist with loading and spreading the materials, increasing labor requirements.Ĭompare the purchase price of a John Deere scraper tractor and scrapers to competitive systems. The John Deere scraper system is an independent earthmoving system requiring one operator to load, transport, and spread the materials on a job site.
