Our local team, the Spokane Indians contacted us to laser grade their infield. This picture shows the basics of laser grading, where all control inputs to box scraper our done by a computer, which receives inputs by a laser beam striking a receiver on the tall mast on the front of the machine. Outputs are given to a valve, which automatically raises and lowers the box scraper.

This shows the job under way, light areas in grade are where cuts, or high points were, the dark areas are fills, or where low points were. Having a second loader is nice, if material needs to be picked up and moved a distance.”

Grade heading towards completion. After it’s graded the grounds crew will wet it down, let the moisture sit overnight then drag a nail board over it to homogenize the dirt in the infield, so there are no hard or soft spots. Many thanks to the Indians for choosing us do this job!
