2017 Orthman Forced Ejection Scrapers FEDolly-Wheel Hitch

FE/FX Forced Ejection Scrapers

The Forced Ejection FE (dolly-wheel hitch) and FX (drawbar hitch) lines are the most popular scrapers in the lineup. They are designed for precision earthmoving, with the ability to transport soil any distance, and allow the operator to unload at a precise depth with an exact amount of material.

The FE line features a rugged, two-wheel dolly hitch for quick hookup and front scraper support. The dolly hitch relieves the tractor of drawbar weight, eliminating the need for drawbar reinforcement, and serves as a gauging device for the cutting blade. It is available with 5-, 7.5- and 10-cubic-yard capacities.

With up to 13 of ground clearance and a wide stance, the FE and FX scrapers can navigate the roughest job sites as well as provide maximum access for routine maintenance. Available in 7- or 8-foot cutting widths and 5- to 10-cubic-yard capacities, Orthman forced ejection scrapers offer large machine features in a lower horsepower, affordable configuration.

The FE/FX scraper ejector wall and gate are designed to be easily controlled, using a single tractor SCV. The hydraulic sequencing valve simultaneously controls the opening of the front gate and the ejector wall for ease of use.

775 and 8120 scraper models are equipped with 21.5Lx16.1 oversized rear tires for maximum flotation, and are mounted to heavy-duty 8-bolt hubs. Equipped with massive 3 spindles with 8,000 lb. rated hubs, 775 and 8120 models carry heavy loads in the harshest conditions with ease.
