Grading Scraper

[Duds13]

Looking to purchase a grading scraper for my Kioti 2610. Was planning on the Landpride GS1548 but then read that it should be a touch wider than rear tires which means stepping up to the GS1560. Any concerns with that model on my Kioti? Any others I should be looking at?

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with any of these model numbers but am guessing that we're talking about a 48" or a 60" grader.
So that means a pretty small tractor where the weight of the implement might be a factor.
How short of covering the tire track is the smaller 48" model?
Are your rear wheels adjustable for width?

Yeah the 1548 is 48", the 1560 is 60". The 48" would be roughly 6" short on each side. Not a huge deal I guess. Rear wheels aren't adjustable, or if they are it's not something I really want to mess with.

Covering the wheel tracks is definitely what you want. I'd compare the weight with the manufacturers 3 point rating.
If you have a little 48"-60" bush hog rotary mower for this tractor and it doesn't bother your steering (light front axle) you should be fine with a 60" grader.
The farther back an attachment "hangs", like a Bush hog the more it will effect the weight on the front and often important steering.

I have a woods 84" land plane and while it is heavy and well built I'd have to say a brush hog weighs every bit as much. Cover your tracks - you wont regret it

I do have a 60" brush hog and while it is heavy as heck, it doesn't cause any steering issues. Thank you for the info, much appreciated!

Thank you for the info, definitely going with the 60"!

The Landpride GS1560 weighs 511 Lbs, with the 4 scarifier shanks ...

My Bush Hog Brand 60" doesn't weigh as much, but my Little SCUT pulls it no problem.

Beautiful! That is going to be much quicker than the Handozer model I've been using

It needs to be at least a foot wider than your wheels. That way when you turn the blade to a 45° it still covers your tracks. My tractor is 6 ft wide and I run a 7 foot blade.

Also it helps if it's heavy and adjusts 6 ways

A rear blade is much different than a "grading scraper" ... Lots of times called a "land plane", Bush Hog calls mine a "road grader", the blades are fixed ... Looks like this, and is only 60" ... Which my 25 HP SCUT with tiny 26" rear tires pulls in high range without any problems ...

For a rear blade ... I'd also recommend a much wider than tire track blade ... Here is a 72" behind my 50" wide SCUT ... Not much extra sticking out!
