Tractor/Scraper: AutoLoad System
AutoLoad is an automatic scraper control system, designed for operators of pull-type scrapers who are looking for ways to improve efficiency and reduce op-erator fatigue. The system automates the scraper’s hydraulic lift functions during the loading cycle. Once activated, it automatically adjusts the scraper’s cutting edge height according to draft loads of the equipment without operator intervention. The system is disengaged at the end of the cut through normal operation of the selective control valve lever in the tractor. AutoLoad is compatible with the company’s 9020 Series wheel tractors with powershift transmission as well as ejector and carry-all type scrapers. John Deere; 800-503-3373; www.JohnDeere.com
