Don't suppose anyone has a close up picture of one, look very useful. Could use something like that for sure. Cheers

The scrapper is about 12-14 feet wide , made of about 14-18 in. "I" beam steel with a hole cut in it to allow the grapples to close inside it . The ends have a plate across each end to reinforce it . And worn out Grader cutting edges are welded around center hole and along bottom and ends to reinforce it and wear down , replaced when needed . And yes they are very simple and very useful .

Thanks Camptramp, it's gone on the welding list! Did see a picture of one way back in a thread, looked a good idea. All the best.
