John Deere announced the launch of its newest scrapers, the 3012 Direct Hitch (DH) scraper and the 3812 Direct Hitch (DH) scraper, engineered to boost productivity and efficiency on earthmoving projects.

As part of John Deere's commitment to meeting the needs of its customers, these models deliver exceptional capacity, versatility and ease of use, making them ideal for job sites where maximizing dirt movement with tractor-pulled solutions is critical, according to John Deere.

"With the launch of the 3012 and 3812 scrapers, we're providing customers with powerful, high-capacity solutions built for efficiency and durability," said Matt Costello, product marketing manager, John Deere. "These scrapers are designed to maximize material movement while integrating seamlessly with John Deere tractors, giving operators the performance and reliability they need to tackle demanding job sites."

The 3012 DH scraper is engineered for compatibility with John Deere 9R, 9RT and 9RX tractors, providing efficient material handling on smaller job sites. Its 30-cu.-yd. single pan enables self-loading, transport and spreading — all with a single operator — making it an ideal solution where multiple pans are not practical, according to John Deere.

The 3812 DH scraper stands as the largest tractor-pulled single pan in John Deere's lineup, designed for large-scale earthmoving projects. With a 38-cu.-yd. capacity and a 12-ft. cut width, it pairs with the new John Deere 9RX 710 and 770 tractors for maximum efficiency. Built with enhanced flotation, durability, and streamlined serviceability, the 3812 is engineered to handle demanding job site conditions with ease, according to John Deere.
