Ashland I-180TS capacity comparison with

a John Deere 1810E both 2005 models

To begin we first need to determine the empty weight of each of the scrapers. With both
scrapers empty we positioned the two platform scale directly under the rear tires of the scrap-
ers.

The Ashland I-180TS empty weight on the rear The John Deere 1810E empty weight on the
tires is 17,140 lbs. rear tires is 16,180 lbs.

The Ashland I-180TS empty weight on the The John Deere 1810E empty weight on the
front hitch is 7,580 lbs. front hitch is 6,480 lbs.
 The Ashland I-180TS empty weight The John Deere 1810E empty weight
Rear tires 17,140 lbs. Rear tires 16,180 lbs.
Front Hitch 7,580 lbs. Front Hitch 6,480 lbs.
Total Weight 24,720 lbs. Total Weight 22,660 lbs.

Next we top loaded both scrapers with a Cat 950F wheel loader with a four cubic yard bucket
with sand. Both scrapers were loaded as full as possible unit material was running over the
sides.

4,600 lbs. greater capacity than JD

 To determine a known volume we filled a
large crate. The struck level of sand was
nearly 1/2 cu.yd.

The volume of this crate is 13.26 cu.ft. or

just under a 1/2 cu.yd. (.491)

The net weight less crate is 1,400 lbs.

1,400 lbs / .491 = 2,851 lbs / cubic yard

Disclaimer: Results may slightly vary. This should not be considered as legally binding. This test was done
by Ashland Industries for information purposes only. Both machines were loaded with the same material from
the same stockpile. The JD scraper was tested 45 days prior to testing the Ashland I-180TS unit. In both cases
the crate had the same sampling weight.
