Heavy Duty ATV Scraper Blade

Heavy Duty ATV Scraper Blade ATV'S ATV'S 27-2-20 Mike Nordby, Grygla, Minn., built a 5-ft. wide, pull-type scraper that he pulls behind his Polaris 4-wheeler. He says it does the work of a tractor-mounted blade. The scraper mounts at the center of an 8-ft. long frame that's supported on back by a pair of wheels off a riding mower. Blade angle is adjusted by changing the position of a pin. An electric winch mounts ahead of the blade and is used to improve the blade's lifting power. Cable from the winch runs back to a series of pulleys at the rear part of the frame. The winch is powered off the ATV's battery. Nordby made the blade by putting two blades together - one a 3-ft. riding mower blade and the other a 4-ft. Polaris blade. "I use it mainly to level our driveway. It gives my Polaris 500 Magnum 4-wheeler quite a workout," says Nordby. "It'll even dig up grass on the side of a road. The winch is rated at 1,500 lbs. so it's dependable and won't get hot. I think it works better than a 3-pt. mounted blade because the blade doesn't lift up whenever you go over a bump but instead cuts right through it."
