Front Frame Structure. Continuous top
and bottom plate construction provides
consistency and strength. The flanged
box section design removes welds from
high stress areas, improving reliability
and durability, and increasing resale
values for the customer.
Rear Frame Structure. The box-sectioned
hitch design and cast axle mounting helps
resist torsion loads and ensure structural
durability. The integrated bumper ties
the rear frame together as a single, solid
unit, so the frame can withstand heavy-
duty applications such as ripping.
Articulation Hitch. A large tapered
roller bearing at the lower pivot carries
loads evenly and smoothly. This joint is
sealed to prevent contamination in this
critical area.
A mechanical locking pin prevents frame
articulation to help ensure safety when
servicing or transporting the machine.
Circle Construction. Our one-piece
forged steel circle is built to stand up to
high stress loads and provide structural
durability. The front 240° of circle teeth
are hardened to reduce wear and ensure
component reliability.
Drawbar Construction. The A-frame
drawbar features a tubular design for
high strength and optimum durability.
Aggressive Blade Angle. With a long
wheelbase the operator can obtain
aggressive moldboard angles so material
rolls more freely along the length of the
blade. This is particularly helpful when
handling very dry materials or cohesive
soils. Better material control gets the
job done faster, requires less power
and saves fuel.
