    Differences between scrapers...

    Paddle/Elevating Scraper I'm pretty new to this myself so I'm no expert. I have an IH paddle scraper. It does an excellent job in black dirt but not well at all in clay. I think it is mainly a landscape scraper. I'm building a pond on our ground and finally bought an old Cat 830MB with a 20...
