The Ashland 220TS4 is a pull scraper — sometimes called a towed scraper or drag scraper — a type of earthmoving implement that is hitched behind a tractor to cut, load, haul, and spread large volumes of soil in a single pass. Pull scrapers are widely used in land grading, site preparation, road building, and agricultural earthmoving. Ashland is a recognised manufacturer of pull-type scrapers built for heavy contractor and construction use.
This 2020 machine carries a 20-cubic-yard struck capacity and a heaped capacity of 22 cubic yards, with a cutting width of 10 feet 6 inches. The bowl incorporates a dual-plated floor system, in which two heavy plates support both the upper and lower edges of the moldboard to keep the floor straight and resistant to impact from stumps, rocks, and other buried obstructions. The five-piece blade set is secured with grade-eight bolts and nuts, and the centre blade protrudes beyond the corner blades to bite into material ahead of the rest of the cutting edge.
The front section is built around a heavy-wall 16-inch round pipe, a geometry chosen because circular cross-sections distribute torsional and twisting loads evenly around the full circumference rather than concentrating stress at corners or seams as square or rectangular tubing would. The pole itself is box-built with an internal skeleton rather than formed halves, adding rigidity, and the tapered trailing arm carries increased frame depth near the front pipe to reduce the risk of corner failure. A standard hydraulic accumulator is integrated into the front section to absorb shock loads when transporting a full bowl, protecting both the scraper and the tractor without additional plumbing.
The lift cylinders are 5.5-inch by 20-inch friction-welded trunnion-mount units with nitro bar rods, mounted vertically directly above the blade set. This near-vertical orientation means that one inch of cylinder retraction produces one inch of blade movement, giving the operator precise incremental control over cut depth, engine RPM, and ground speed. The apron uses 5-inch by 13-inch friction-welded hydraulic cylinders for clamping force, and close tolerances between the apron sides and the bowl sidewalls prevent debris from deflecting the apron inward during ejection.
The hitch is designed so that the tractor's drawbar pin runs horizontally through two ears, mounting the scraper close to the rear axle to keep weight on the front of MFWD tractors. The vertical pin sits 22 inches behind the horizontal drawbar pin to provide a wide turning radius. The hitch assembly is built with higher-strength material and additional support gussets, and a heavy steel bulkhead with a rigid hose stand protects the hydraulic lines.
As listed, the machine is equipped with rear hydraulic connections and a standard 1.5-inch pin hitch, with upgraded radial 20.5R25 tyres. Additional factory setup options noted by the seller include a 60 mm pin configuration, a rear 1.5-inch quick-hitch option, and a rear 60 mm quick-hitch, each available at a separately quoted cost. The machine is located in Missouri, USA.
