Section 3: Adjustments
Leveling and Pitch Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-2:
1.
Locate tractor and Box Scraper on a flat, level
surface. Lower scraper until side panels are
2 to 3 inches off the ground.
2. Place tractor gear selector in park or in neutral and
set park brake. Turn tractor engine off, and remove
switch key to prevent unauthorized starting.
3. Close to the front of the scraper, place a
2x4 board (#1) under each scraper side panel.
4. Return to the tractor seat and restart tractor.
5. Slowly lower scraper down while watching the side
panels make contact with the 2x4 boards (#1). Both
side panels should make contact with the boards at
the same time. If one side makes contact sooner,
make note of that side and continue to lower the
scraper until both sides are resting on the boards.
6. Turn off tractor engine, and remove switch key before
dismounting tractor.
7.
Adjust tractor lower 3-point arm up on the side of the
tractor that the scraper touched the 2x4 board first. If
that arm is not adjustable, adjust the opposite lower
3-point arm down.

8. Return to the tractor seat and restart tractor. Repeat
steps 5 thru 7 above until both side panels touch the
2x4 boards at the same time.
9. Once scraper is level left to right, raise scraper
slightly to remove all weight off the 2x4 boards.
10. Turn tractor engine off, and remove switch key.
11. Remove 2x4 boards from both sides of scraper.
12. Without lowering the scraper, place a level (#2) on
the shank beam running from front to back as shown.
13. Adjust tractor top center 3-point link to level scraper
front to back as follows;
•
Lengthen center link to lower back of scraper until
shank beam is level.
•
Shorten center link to raise back of scraper until
shank beam is level.
NOTE: Through extensive research and testing,
Land Pride has designed the optimum cutting angle
into your Box Scraper. If needed, shorten top center
link one-half turn at time to increase blade pitch.
14. Start tractor and lower scraper to the ground, or raise
scraper up to transport to the work site.
