John Deere’s Open Disc Scraper Brake

Wed June 20, 2007
Aggregate Equipment Guide

John Deere’s heavy-duty, open disc scraper brake option for 18- and 21-cu. yd. (13.7 and 16 cu m) scrapers provides stopping power on inclines.

“Our new scraper brakes are ideal in mining applications or other jobs that require transporting on inclines,” said Kent Stickler, product consultant, scraper tractors and scrapers, John Deere Construction & Forestry Company.

“The system reduces dependency on tractor brakes and allows for shorter stopping distances, whether the scraper is fully loaded or empty. It all adds up to excellent performance on the job site with reduced maintenance, since there’s less stress on the tractor brakes.”

The scraper brakes are equipped with fixed-mount, dual-opposition, self-retracting pistons and heavy-duty seals for long life. Steel hydraulic lines are routed along the mainframe of the scraper, delivering improved responsiveness and reliability versus rubber hoses, according to the manufacturer.

The scraper brakes are activated by the tractor’s brake pedal. The brakes are effective in both single and tandem scraper jobs, and are approved for applications in which ISO, ASAE and MSHA standards are required.

As Nick Manosh, son of the company's founder, tells the story, "In 1958, my dad [Howard Manosh], who had been an equipment operator, sold his 55 Chevy for $1500 for a down payment to buy a John Deere tractor with a Pippin backhoe and started working nights and weekends doing whatever work he could find." In 1965, Howard Manosh identified a growing need for clean accessible water; he purchased the company's first drilling rig and the catch phrase, "Manosh by Gosh" took root.
