Yard scraper on front loader

[Frantic Farmer]

As above are there any pros or cons to having a yard scraper Mounted on a front end loader ?

You will need some sort of floating headstock for it as you can power down with a loader and the weight of loader would be too much for the scraper

If you run your loader in float would the weight of the loader not eat the rubbers off in no time, be better with some kind of slot set up so the scraper can slide up and down with no real weight on it.

One of the Mensch hard tyre type would be fine I would imagine, down pressure doesn't seem to bother them too much. Otherwise you will need brackets with slots instead of holes for the locking pins or some other float type arrangement. Even small machines with boom float have an unhealthy appetite for scraper blades.

I think it would be very numb working round a cubicle house and up and down slatted passages with FEL. We've our scraper on the front of a pivot steer Schaffer, it used to be on back of tractor and the tractor was more manouvreable. Would do ok if you were just scraping collecting yard or scrape passage maybe.

Maybe a bit off topic, but an old rubber track from a mini digger makes a very strong scraper rubber, and can be picked up very CHEAP.

Harder to find in our neck of woods than you might think.
