| There are 3 different types of scrapers that I am relatively familiar with. You can get the self loaders with the chain and paddles-they also self unload. Little more complicated in that lots of moving parts. Then there are the "push off" type that will use a hydraulic ram to unload the pan, and finally the tip up pan that hydraulically tips the bowl and soil flows out. I have only used the latter two and can say that the tip up will tend to hold the sticky soils and takes some banging up and down to get the soil out but they are the cheapest and easiest to maintain. The hydraulic push out cleans things out pretty well. Seen the self loaders work and seem to do good job of loading and cleaning out. Just depends on how many yards you have to move, how far, what you have to pull it with, and your wallet. Good Luck. | |

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