Finally got to use the scraper

Bought this old Miskin scraper a couple weeks ago paid 75$ for it . It sure did a nice job moving dirt . I took a short video but the phone went dead before I could get a better quality video

That would work way better with a decent tractor in front...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like it works good!

Can I borrow that for my neighbors driveway? He is the one I do the custom organic farming for. The guys 85 yr. old Dad still lives on the farm and thinks he has to blade the 1/4 mile drive 5 times a day. It's a rear mount blade on the 656 with no gauge wheels so tractor front goes up, blade goes down, front up, blade down. He has that drive so roly-poly that the fuel tanks on my tandem truck are starting to drag. Your scraper would be just the ticket to get that drive back in shape.

looks like it do's a real nice smooth finish sv., with a little time and practice you'll have it all dialed in.

Haha thanks it does a pretty neat job my old right arm got its
workout hauling on the rope that makes it cut once I got the
top off i could just hold the rope while it started the cut then it
would hold the cut on its own . I was running in 3rd gear just a
bit over idle and you could feel it pull a little when the scraper
started to cut in good

Thanks cm in the video I had just made the first or two and I
got the rope tangled in the linkage for the scraper I should
have bought two different colors of rope to make it easier to
remember which one to pull when . This thing sure does a lot
nicer job than when I rebuilt this pond last time with my blade
scraper .

Yes rear blades can be really really hard to do a decent job on a road with I like my box scraper because it will carry materiel with it to fill the low spots and carry the high spots to the low spots . And yes you can borrow this one come on out and grab it

Put a knot in one of the ropes.

SVcummins · Jun 23, 2018

That?s not a bad idea I ended up shortening the ropes I have one tied around the back rest and one around the hydraulic cylinder carrier and with them shorter it wasn?t to bad to keep em straight
