| Reynolds Scrapers, LLC was founded in McAllen, Texas in 1953. By the mid 60s, REYNOLDS scrapers were widely recognized as the leader in the industry. The introduction of laser and later GPS equipment further enhanced scraper land leveling precision and accuracy thereby increasing the technology's popularity. Initially REYNOLDS scrapers were primarily used in the agricultural sector as laser land leveled fields increase and improve crop yields, reduce irrigation costs, reduce fertilizer and chemical costs, and reduce harvesting labor and machine costs to name just a few of the advantages. However, an entry into and acceptance by the construction sector was inevitable and began in the late 70s. |
| Although REYNOLDS scrapers owe much to and are still very popular in the agricultural field, today, contractors and farmers alike rely on rugged, quality REYNOLDS scrapers for many earth moving applications primarily due to the following factors: |
| - Lower capital investment |
| - No support equipment required |
| - Versatility of the power unit (tractor) |
| - Lower owning and operating costs |
| - Operator/user friendly |
| - High resale value |
| - Long useful life |
| - Lower mobilization/transport costs |
| - Wide selection of models |
| Tractor drawn scrapers are used for many applications including, but not limited to, the following: |
| - General earth moving |
| - Laser cut and fill operations |
| - Land leveling |
| - Mining operations |
| - Construction |
| - Golf course construction |
| - Residential and commercial land development |
| - Site preparation |
| - Airport construction |
| - Shrimp/fish pond construction |
| - Agricultural land leveling |
