Top-loading scrapers in the raised position could void the scraper warranty.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. During top loading procedure, make sure the scraper blade is lowered and resting on the ground. 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. 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 72 cubic yards per cycle in top loading capacity with triples. In fact, D Series ejectors feature a swept back overflow spill guard that increases the top loading target by 24% over previous models. A wide, unobstructed bowl opening and heavily shielded hydraulic lines, cylinders, and components provide a nice target for large excavator buckets. John Deere scrapers are designed to handle the harsh conditions of top-loading scrapers. Precision leveling and water management practices.Residential or commercial site preparation.Some common applications for the John Deere scraper systems are as follows: Now increase productivity moving more yards per cycle with up to 72 cubic yards in triple configurations. Experience additional savings from reduced fuel consumption by having only one tractor engine performing all of the work. 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 about one-third the savings over the life of the equipment. Self-propelled scraper 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 material to grade on a job site. The John Deere Application Controller is required for iGrade activation. iGrade does not support wide area augmentation system (WAAS), EGNOS, SF1, or SF2 signal levels.
