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.
