Camp Douglas Wi. 40miles nw of wi. dells | Scraper all the way; Spring of 07 putting up another grain bin and build a road around all the bins for better semi traffic, got hold of couple contracters to move sand 1/2 mile, they wanted $25k, Got to shopping around and fond demo Ashland 13 yard direct mount scraper bought it for $29k, hooked it up to one of our 8410Ts, took me 4 days to move the dirt. Then to my suprise we could dig waterways in alot faster and cheaper, filled in ditches then tilled, along with custom work in the neighbor hood we payed for the scraper twice the first year. Its in the top 10 ROI on our farm. Still have it, never needs anything but a grease gun.

Moving dirt with Dozer vs. scraper vs. truck, distances and efficiency?
