INTRODUCTION

The 100 Series Blade is available in widths of 8' and 9' and features a heavy-duty CAT I-II three-point hitch and CAT II quick-hitch. The 9' model is rated for up to 95 PTO HP wheel-type tractors. The 100 Series blade is available with either hydraulic or manual adjustments of the mainframe swing, moldboard tilt to better fit many applications. The 3" diameter solid steel kingpin, reinforced 3/8” x 17" moldboard, and maximum of 30" of offset make the 100 blade ideal for use on larger dual wheel tractors. The 100 Series blade can be offset up to 30" left or right without relocating the cylinder. Many competitive blades can only reach their maximum offset in one direction without relocating the cylinder. Skid shoes, quick-tach end plates, CAT II quick coupler bushings, and a gauge wheel are optional equipment.

At least 20% of the tractor’s weight must be on the front tires with the implement lifted to provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills, rough terrain, and curves.

Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your automobile).
