Maximize productivity and minimize costs with the John Deere scraper system
Throughout the world, contractors have been moving material with conventional self-propelled scrapers or rigid/articulated trucks and excavators. John Deere scraper tractors and scrapers are a valuable solution for contractors, allowing them to move the same material using half the labor, half the investment, and saving 30 cents per cu yd to 50 cents per cu yd.
Half the labor
The John Deere scraper system is an independent earthmoving system requiring one operator to load, transport, and spread the materials on a job site. Self-propelled and truck/excavator earthmoving systems need additional support equipment to assist with loading and spreading the materials, increasing labor requirements.
Half the investment
Compare the purchase price of a John Deere scraper tractor and scrapers to competitive systems. Factor in the labor costs, fuel burn, daily operating expenses of all the equipment used in the system, and it all adds up to half the savings over the life of the equipment.
Saving 30 to 50 cents per cu yd
The savings are already adding up with the reduced labor requirements and lower investment costs. Experience additional savings from reduced fuel consumption by having only one tractor engine performing all of the work. Increase productivity moving more yards per cycle when using the 16-m3 or 18.3-m3 (21-cu yd or 24-cu yd) scrapers in tandem or triple configurations.
