I have a 5105 4wd, and I'm looking for a small scrapper pan to pull. Does anyone know of one in the Louisiana area??

I can't help you directly but maybe you would find that the words Speed Mover may help you in your search. In case one of these would work for you, there are thousands of these that were just used to build a pond and spend the remainder of their life rusting away out in the pasture. Most of these may be too large for your tractor but on occasion smaller versions can be located. Good luck in your search.

Have you given any thought to using a Box Blade? They can move alot of dirt without a great deal of Horsepower...

And they don't cost as much as a scraper, either.

Yea, I have a box blade. But I need a pan to cut out little ponds and to do smaller construction jobs that a big tractor can't fit on

Why do you think that a box blade will be less efficient for your job? I find that my box blade works very well for digging and moving a lot of dirt. Steve

I am looking for the same thing up here in southeast Missouri.
From what I understand the Durabilt's DP60 sell for close to $5,000........

I posted this back in January and thought some of this info. might help...

I need to be able to carry the dirt. Dragging dirt with a box blade more than a few feet takes to long.

Have you ever used a pan?

 

[Bdupre]

Yes. I pull some John deer 18 yds scrappers all the time at work

Pans can be a bit unhandy for some applications if one has never used one.
