General Operating Instructions
By now you should have read the operator’s manual and
properly attached your GS25 Series Grading Scraper to
your tractor’s 3-Point hitch. Whether you have chosen
our GS2584 or GS2596, the working or grading
principals are the same. Your two grading blades should
be properly adjusted within the frame to achieve the
desired effect. This may take a little experimentation to
get your adjustments set just right depending on local
surface conditions in the area to be graded. Simply lower
your Grading Scraper until the left and right end skid
shoes are firmly in contact with the ground, then begin
driving forward.
Your two scraper blades should immediately begin
grading or shaving off high spots on the surface and
allowing dirt or aggregate material to flow under the
blades to fill in low spots. The lower the blades are set,
the more aggressive the cutting and grading action will
be. Depending on blade settings and surface conditions,
a build up may occur between the blades. This is no
cause for concern as simply raising the scraper slightly
with the 3-Point hitch control lever will allow excess
material to flow out under the blades in an even and level
fashion. If an unwanted accumulation continues to occur
between the blades you may want to first adjust the rear
blade upward a bit our raise both blades if the unwanted
condition persists.
If surface conditions are such that the blades are
unsuccessful in shaving off high spots on a hard-packed
surface, begin lowering the optional scarifiers into
working position to a depth that enables you to achieve
the desired effect. The Land Pride 25 Series Grading
Scrapers are very user friendly attachments and with a
little practice you should begin achieving excellent
results.
