A control method to operate a scraper over ground, the control method comprising: receiving a signal indicative of a desired attack angle between a cutting edge of the scraper and the ground; receiving a height control signal to control a cutting edge height; receiving one or more measuring signals from one or more sensors, calculating a measured attack angle based on the one or more measuring signals; comparing the measured attack angle and the desired attack angle; and outputting at least one control signal commanding movement of a bowl of the scraper based on the height control signal and a result of the comparing the measured attack angle and the desired attack angle.

An electrical drive system that modifies operation between that of a generator and a motor based on changes in operation of a tractor and machine scraper in order to charge the electrical drive system when the machine scraper is empty or being unloaded and to power the drive of the machine scraper when the machine scraper is cutting and loading a bowl of the machine scraper and during the transport of the load from the location of the cutting and loading.

The disclosure relates to a device for filling a bucket in a loading and transport device having a rear part of a frame structure with articulated arms rotatable by power units, and second arms attached by pivots to a bucket which is in a transport position rotatable by power units around pivots to an emptying position. A middle part of the bucket bottom is connected by pivots with a panel having rotatable arms. The panel is rotatable around pivots and is arranged to lift and shift material on top of the panel to the rear part of the bucket, after which, the front part of the bucket bottom is empty and the bucket is fillable by pushing forward and rotatable around a horizontal shaft such that a center of gravity of the bucket transfers onto a wheelbase of the loading and transport device.

A ground scraper (10) including: a bowl (12) for holding excavated ground material; a cutting edge (14) mounted at a mouth of the bowl (12) for excavating the ground material; an apron (26) pivotally mounted to the bowl (12) for closing the mouth of the bowl (12); and a hitch assembly (28) including a draft tube (32) and a pair of draft arms (34) extending from the draft tube (32) and pivotally coupled to the bowl (12). Each draft arm (34) including a first portion (36) angled with respect to a second portion (38).

A scraper has an apron, a bowl, a cutting edge, a vehicle attachment, and a pivoting mechanism such that the scraper has a flat position and an angled position. In the flat position the cutting edge is in position to cut into dirt and store the dirt in the bowl, while in the angled position the scraper is rotated such that dirt within the bowl can drop onto the ground in front of the scraper.
