Top-Adjust Drawbar Wear Strips.
The patented top-adjust wear strips
dramatically reduce drawbar/circle
adjustment time. By removing the access
plates on top of the drawbar, shims and
wear strips can easily be added or
replaced. This feature reduces service
downtime and lowers overall machine
operating costs.
Replaceable Wear Inserts.
Tough, durable nylon composite wear
inserts reduce rotational friction for
maximum circle torque and longer
component life. They are located between
the drawbar and circle, and between the
support shoes and circle. High load-
resistant brass wearstrips are placed
between the blade mounting group and
moldboard. This sacrificial wear system
can be replaced easily and helps keep
components tight for fine grading.
Moldboard. The optimal curvature and
large throat clearance help move material
quickly and efficiently. Heat-treated
moldboard rails, hardened cutting edges
and end bits, and large diameter bolts
assure reliability and longer service life.
The moldboard side shift cylinder is
positioned on the left side to eliminate
snow wing interference.
Moldboard Positioning. The blade link
bar design extends the possibilities for
moldboard positioning, most beneficial
in mid-range bank sloping and in ditch
cutting and cleaning.
Shimless Moldboard Retention System.
The unique shimless moldboard retention
system reduces the potential for blade
chatter. Vertical and horizontal adjusting
screws keep the moldboard’s wear strips
aligned for precise blade control and
dramatic reductions in service time.
