TRAIN SCRAPERS
K-TEC 1228 TRAIN
The K-Tec 1228 Train doubles efficiency by pulling two solid-welded, rigid-frame 1228 scrapers with a single power unit and one operator. On job sites with a longer cut zone in sandy soil, a massive advantage is gained to provide a tandem heaped capacity of 56 cubic yards. The 1228 Train provides a pair of fast-loading, light-weight earthmovers. This configuration has an added advantage since it can split into singles on your job site as conditions change.

TRUSTED TESTIMONIALS
K-Tec is simply the best scraper on the market. We have tried so many different brands but will never have to look any further. The only problem I have, is the competition has seen what we can do and are starting to buy K-Tec also.
We’re running eight 1228 K-Tec’s and they’ve been working fantastic, we get quite frankly a lot more production out of the K-Tec’s than the other scrapers we tried. We find that the speed at which we load the K-Tec’s we have about 20% more production than with the other scrapers we used.
We started doing sub divisions about five years ago and came across these K-Tec’s and tried one out and fell in love with them. As far as fuel consumption being competitive and yardage hauled in a day nothing beats them. Push loading our 1233 Trains with the Ox Block we can raise production by 30%.
K-Tec scrapers compared to other scrapers on the market they last a lot longer, they are more durable, they handle the terrain a whole lot better, and when we combine a Case tractor and a K-Tec the machines operate beautifully together, they are a song and a dance.
