Alamo 2500 manual Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The 2500 blade is available in widths of 10' and 12' and features a massive CAT II-III three-point hitch and quick-hitch. The 12' model is rated for up to 175 PTO HP wheel-type tractors. Hydraulic adjustment of the mainframe swing, moldboard angle, and moldboard tilt is standard for easier operation. The 2500 blade features a maximum of 46" of offset for working hard-to-reach areas. The boxed-section, reinforced 1/2” x 20" moldboard, 4-1/2” solid steel kingpin, and massive hitch and mainframe ensure years of dependable service. Skid shoes, quick-tach end plates, and dual gauge wheels are optional equipment adding to the many possible uses of the 2500 blade.

At least 20% or 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).
