Yard scraper on Teleporter

[Milkman]

Was looking for a design of fitting 3 point linkage scraper on to loader, someway that it follows ground.
On a very small budget

You need to replicate a 3 point linkage with a stop that holds the height,something like a chain from the top link?

Did not think of doing it that way, was thinking of it floating up and down on the frame. With the chain I could only pull.

What yard scraper do you want to convert?
Look up telehandler yard scrapers and look at images (if Google). Iirc there have also been several threads about scrapers on telehandlers on TFF.

Looks like you need to cut and rebuild your yard scraper to fit it on a different machine unless you can fabricate upright arms to connect from just above the scraper pivot points to the loader fitting / headstock (?) to hitch up from the opposite side to the 3 point linkage. I.e. the 3 point linkage would be facing away from you when using the scraper on the loader. It would make it slightly more ungainly but it might be worth it Could you connect the pull cord on the scraper to a (slightly bodged) lever connected to the loader hydraulics?

It still might be cheaper to price up a machine made for the job.

@eulb do you think the idea is workable?

would it work to have the deep blade like like the albutt one and just weld brackets to it and have the loadall boom set to float?

Rob Holmes it looks just the job, but.....................

Yeah... thought it might provide some inspiration

we have an a frame fitted to the scrape and to the bracket for our skid steer. similar set up. will try and get a picture when I go to the other farm again

It would work but your blade won't last 5 minutes.

You have to start by thinking how a 3 point hitch allows float,I've had various scrapers on loaders over the years,the ability to float is a must.

Got a Kramer and Half tyre scraper here and been using it for years, yes got chain link as top link but only about 8 - 10 inches slack and chain broke a few times and replacing the bolts on the rubber to frame is all we have replaced. Our yards isn't football field flat and the tyre type gives us more flexiblity and durablibity as other people who are not used to using this type like a releif milker may not press the float button or put too much pressure downwards.
I understand them expensive types with thin rubber blades - it will work on a loader but in mordern farms and flat cubicles, but the wear on the blades won't be even to start with.
I'd love to scrape my yards twice daily but have to get them ring feeders out of the way to make one big clean up job and a small scraper tractor as a backup to have a quick whizz around the feeders at the end of day will help.
The Kramer has a roof and heater which is a plus but some corners and walls will need hand scraped out to get to the edges.

buy one from a farm sale that floats and has a double edge, with out the top link, i got one for £20 and just fitted the brackets round here they are pretty cheap and plentiful

Back plate to go on loader, to fit to the scraper but instead of round holes for the pins just have a slot about 9 inches long so there is a bit of float. Have done this before and it works okay, but does need to be used reasonably carefully

Thanks everyone, multi powers answer suits my needs and budget more importantly.
