Tandem / dual scraper setup
For improved productivity when leveling a field, the FieldLevel II system supports tandem or dual
scraper implements.
With a tandem system, the second scraper is also controlled by GPS. This means that you can work
in areas requiring cuts, and fill two scraper buckets before you have to empty the scrapers.
With a dual system, an antenna on each side of the scraper controls two independent cylinders.
This creates a more accurate surface by controlling the height of both ends of the scraper.
Tandem scraper
The tandem scraper feature tows two scrapers, one behind the other. This type of leveling provides
increased efficiency as it allows for the blade of each scraper to be controlled independently from
the other. This means more dirt can be cut before you have to drive to a fill area and remove dirt
from the scraper buckets.
For operational information, see Tandem scraper controls (page 450).
Dual scraper
A dual scraper is single scraper with two GPS antennas, one at each end of the blade. This allows for
control of the roll of the blade, giving a more accurate surface. This configuration is ideal for complex
surfaces with high variability slopes.
For operational information, see Dual scraper controls (page 449).
Note – For the FieldLevel II dual system you must use a scraper with dual hydraulic controls.
Set up
Note – Before you can configure the system, it must be professionally installed. For more information,
contact your local reseller.
