Industrial Scrapers Rebuilt For Farm Use
![]() |
Fehr buys the scrapers from highway contractors and converts them from cable operation to hydraulic for controlling depth, loading, and unloading with a hydraulic push-off gate.
"Farmers use them to dig ditches, build terraces, poultry barns, and many other jobs," says Fehr. "A 180 to 200 hp front wheel assist tractor can handle 10-yard models. Larger models require a 4-WD tractor with duals."
A rebuilt 11-yard Caterpillar scraper sells for $14,900 (Canadian); a rebuilt 14-yard Letourneau scraper sells for $12,000 (Canadian). Fehr also sells rebuilt 3 and 4-yard scrapers from $2,500 and 6-yard scrapers from $5,000. He also rents scrapers for $200 per day (Canadian).
