After moving dirt for 22 years, nothing aggravated
me more than trying to fine finish dirt with a large heavy dirt pan. It
was painfully slow and not very accurate. It took a lot of skill just to
do a decent job and stopped me from bulking dirt with a very expensive piece
of equipment. I tried conventional drag scrapers but they bounced horribly in harder soils. Working in a wet spot was made difficult by wet dirt clinging to the scraper, making it nearly impossible to get another load. Unable to find the machine I wanted, I went to work inventing one of my own. I knew how I wanted it to perform and what I expected from it. I wanted it to be simple, timing it where one cylinder would raise the frame and simultaneously rotate the scraper to positively eject the wet material all in one action.
I also wanted to have some teeth in the forward part
of the scraper that would be used to air out heavy soil or bust up hardened
soil. Adding my already-patented damping devices would control the bounce
that is characteristic of drag scrapers. The project wasn't as easy as it
may sound here, but it's complete and it works beautifully. Its workmanship and performance motivated one of the first operators to dub it the "miracle
bucket." The nickname stuck. You'll find the Miracle Bucket is much less
expensive to purchase and its simple design almost eliminates upkeep. It
can bulk large amounts of dirt or it can finish faster than anything available
on the market today. Farmers love the Miracle Bucket not only for its ease of operation, but for fixing costly wet spots in the fields and offering more efficient irrigating. It grades roads with side slope by adjusting leveling wheels and is excellent for construction contractors to finish building pads and smoothing haul roads. The Miracle Bucket gets the job done. It has teeth in front of the scraper that can be used to get beneath haul road holes and leave a smooth soft surface for faster haul cycles. I invite you to take a look at this product. I think you'll be more than pleased with its ease of handling and outstanding performance. Dennis Brown 19923 State Highway 114 |
