5700 vs 7700

Comparing the 5700 vs 7700? What’s the difference? On the surface, they don’t appear too different. Sure, the 7700 has bigger wheels and comes standard with Dual Lift (only the 5700DL will come with Dual Lift). The real difference is under the hood and on the job. With bigger wheels, more weight, more powerful batteries, and stronger hydraulic pumps and wheel motors, the 7700 moves quicker than the 5700. The 7700 both travels faster and removes material faster. The added weight means that the added speed doesn’t cause the tooling to come out of the work like it may with lighter machines.

So which is the 5700 or 7700 right for you?

At NFE, we think of the 5700 and 5700DL as the “F-150” of the scraper world. It’s reliable, has more than enough power for day-to-day work, and, for the price, will likely exceed your expectations. Even with an incredibly capable F-150, there will always be a need for the F-250 (and beyond). There are people out there who need that extra power the F-250 can provide, but it could be too much for others. Why spend the extra money if the “more” that you get just gets in your way?

The 7700 is the right fit for contractors who usually work on larger jobs. The increased travel speed, weight, and power increase your productivity and decrease your removal time. Why wouldn’t someone want those benefits? They come with a cost, not just being a more expensive machine, but when it comes to job accessibility. The heavier, wider 7700 makes it tougher to get on some job sites and even more difficult to maneuver in residential areas. If this is a majority of a contractor’s work, the 5700, 5700DL, or even the 5000DL is likely a better option.

No one tool is right for every job. Weigh the difference between these machines and the type of work that you do. Which one fits YOUR NEED better?

2900 Ride-On Scraper Battery Replacement

2900 ride-on scraper battery replacement is an important, but infrequent maintenance task. Like any batteries, the AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries inside your ride-on scraper wear out over time. How long it takes for them to wear out depends on charging habits, how long they’ve been installed on the machine, how often the machine is on a job, and other similar factors.

Replacing the batteries doesn’t take a lot of knowledge, but it does require you pay close attention. Watch this video to get an idea of the process before starting the procedure. Use your manual to ensure correct battery sequencing and you don’t miss any details. Access your manual here!
