John Deere expands large scraper lineup with two self-loading models
The high-capacity earthmoving line gets an upgrade with the 3012 and 3812 Direct Hitch scrapers
John Deere launches its newest scrapers, the 3012 Direct Hitch (DH) scraper and the 3812 Direct Hitch (DH) scraper, engineered for high-capacity earthmoving projects. John Deere reaffirms its commitment to innovating machines and making its contractors' jobs easier. These new models are built to deliver capacity, versatility, and ease of use when dirt movement with tractor-pulled solutions is critical.
The 3012 DH scraper is compatible with John Deere 9R, 9RT, and 9RX tractors, and is able to handle small jobs. Its 30-cubic-yard single pan enables self-loading, transport, and spreading—all with a single operator—making it an efficient solution where multiple pans are not practical.
The 3812 DH scraper is the largest tractor-pulled single pan in John Deere's lineup, designed for large-scale earthmoving projects. With a 38-cubic-yard capacity and a 12-foot cut width, it can be paired with the new John Deere 9RX 710 and 770 tractors.

"With the launch of the 3012 and 3812 scrapers, we're providing contractors 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."
