Reynolds sets pace in land leveling, earthmoving tech
May 1, 2003 12:00 PM
Reynolds has done it again. The leader in earthmoving and laser land leveling technology now offers a 20 cubic yard capacity tandem produced at its ISO 9001:2000 certified quality manufacturing plant to meet the demand for reliable and economical equipment.
The superior performance is achieved through an innovative hydraulic system, aggressive cutting blade design and construction equipment-quality hydraulic cylinders. Safety devices block carriage, gate and bucket movement for service or transport.
A heavy duty yoke hitch assembly and drawbar transfers about one third of the scraper weight to the tractor for added traction and equipment flotation.
The Tandem hitch on the rear of each scraper is designed to automatically lower the second scraper into the “ready to cut” position when the front unit is raised, for both a smoother ground finish and a faster transition.
The Reynolds 10C7 model is ideal for excavating ponds when fitted with the protruding center blade, but also works well in tandem with the “LSE” surface finishing scraper models which feature walking beam mounted wheels for high speed precision laser grading.
The high rate of loading and fast off-road speed accounts for the efficiency and economic advantage of this “semi-mounted” scraper when compared to “dolly mounted” scraper models.
The model 10C7 scraper weighs under four tons and the overall width of 103 inches facilitates highway transport.
Farmers and commercial contractors excavating and moving large amounts of rock free soil over short distances have taken notice of the 20 cubic-yard Reynolds scraper tandem.
A relatively shallow depth of cut produces a soil texture that easily spreads to grade on fields and dries quickly to be ready for compaction on rural roads and levees.
