I'm in the market for a grader scraper for building and maintaining a crusher run driveway. Ultimately I'll have about 1700 ft of stone driveway to maintain.
I have been looking at all different brands of grader scrapers (I've read a ton of forum threads on the subject), and it seems most dealers nearest me carry Woods. I'm thinking I want a 7ft wide model to use with my Ford 4610 SU (with front weights). The model I have gravitated to is a Woods GSM84, the local dealer wants $1962.00 + tax. I do want one with scarifiers. They have GSS72P in stock that I could probably get for about $1800.00 total, but I think that unit is too light for my tractor and the work I want to do with it.
This dealership is notorious for price gouging, however I'm so close I can drive my tractor there to hook up etc, so that's convenient.
Just wondering what people have paid for these recently, most forum threads on the subject are a few years old. I'm looking at about $2134 total for the local dealer Woods unit, about ~$250 more than if I were to order a scraper from Everything Attachments. (However they say on their website that their cutting edge height is adjustable, but I'm not seeing that from the pictures/videos).
