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.
