If the ground or surfacematerial is very hard, you may want to add weights in theweight box in order for the cutting edge to be effective.Achieving the desired effect will require a littleexperimentation and experience. Pull Type DragScrapers generally perform better in dry to slightly dampsoil conditions.Your Land Pride Pull Type Drag Scraper can also be usedfor making slopes, terracing, and ditching if the tilt axle isused.
