Ashland

Ashland CS18-HD 18-yd3 carry-all scrapers tackle the toughest applications and material types. 23.5 x 25 E3/L3 12-ply tires and lower ground pressure allow for excellent flotation, and lift cylinders are mounted higher to keep dirt and rocks out. To prevent any buildup and dragging of loose material by the front section, its massive 16" diameter and 7/8" thick front pipe is elevated to allow a 22" ground clearance. The CS18-HD includes a heavier-duty framework, larger pins and cylinders, and massive trailing arms for optimum strength and durability. ( www.ashlandind.com )
