Scraper

Ashland Industries

The Ground Hog 2500 from Ashland Industries, Ashland, Wis., is designed for use with compact track loaders and skid steers with steel tracks. The scraper is mounted on a universal quick attach plate that is found on its power unit. The plate is attached to a rear-pivoting axle, allowing the scraper to float separately from the power unit, which is used for traction and hydraulics. The scraper's oscillating front beam and large caster handle a large portion of weight to reduce stress to the loader arms, the company says. The oscillating beam features 38 degrees of rotation for uniform cutting when used on uneven ground. According to the company, low-flow auxiliary hydraulics control scraper functions, eliminating the need for boom controls. A safety chain prevents operators from accidentally lifting loader arms.
