Box yard scraper

[Vaccalac4]

Considering getting one of these to try and speed up scraping operations in yards and one shed I have without auto scrapers, was thinking it would take a lot less passes than a conventional rubber type tractor scraper.
There appears to be several makes on the market, is there one in particular that is better and longer lasting or are they all much the same?
Also notice a machine called a SCRAPENSER which mounts on top for dispensing sawdust whilst scraping, looks to do a reasonable job in the videos I’ve viewed, anyone run one and have a view on it? Cheers

We had a maxi scrape for many years which was very good but changed to a AG one last time on the promise it would last longer with plastic strips as opposed to rubber....it didn’t in fact it didn’t last as long and going over our slurry grid it just ripped them clean off in no time and AG were pretty unhelpful tbh. Back to rubber now.

All pretty similar from what I’ve seen. Red and blue combo wear strips last much longer with sand from our experience. We use Maxiscrape Sw as did a deeper and wider scraper which makes more difference. Slurry consistency makes bigger difference as dry cow cubicle muck Will fill box and spill out top

Browns mega megascrape has speeded up scraping out no end here

As above. 7ft wide maxi mega scrape. Extra deep in front of a skid steer or on the back of a case tractor. Wouldnt go back

just in the middle of changing ours, is the mega mega scrape worth the extra money?

Have you tested this??

Browns are well built, my ag cracked up after a couple of years, now on a 8ft storth pleased so far done 2 winters.

Know someone that did.

My storth has done 10 years x2 a day,the sides are near worn out now.

Bought an AG last time with the polyurethane blades, supposed to last longer. They didnt last half as long as a normal rubber which is on now. Wished I had bought a storth, they always give good service. AG very unhelpful when i asked why they had gone so quickly.

Browns is 3 years old And had 2 skids already, sides are worn from running against rsjs, maybe I'll try a storth next

Blue and red blades are great on an ag for sand. We can actually last a year with them.

Same here but Maxiscrape. It’s rough concrete that wrecks silicon blade sets.

Always used Browns Megascrapes. Never had a problem. The dairy I used to work for had one, and when they packed up, I had it for my place.

Far better than the old type scrapers.

Saves so much time and scrapes yards properly. Just need to get good at changing the rubbers. Rough concrete fudges them.
