INTRODUCTION

The 160 Series Blade is available in widths of 8' and 10' and features a heavy-duty CAT II-III three-point hitch and quick-hitch. The 10' model is rated for up to 160 PTO HP wheel-type tractors. The Blade is available with either hydraulic or manual mainframe swing, moldboard angle, and moldboard tilt. The Blade can be offset a maximum of 37" for working outside the dual wheels on larger horsepower tractors. The 4" diameter solid steel kingpin, boxed section reinforced 1/2” x 18" moldboard, and the superior strength of the mainframe ensure dependability. The bolt-on gauge wheels are an excellent feature in helping to control the cutting depth. This is especially critical when trying to leave a smooth finish. Skid shoes, quick-tach end plates, and single or dual gauge wheels are optional equipment to help make the a more versatile tool.

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).
