READY TO MAKE THE FIRST CUT?

UP TO 35%* INCREASED PAYLOAD

• Superior penetrating ability allows blade to load faster and increase payload mass.
• Shallower angle and intermediate edges focus machine energy on slicing through soil instead of breaking it up.

Tips from the Experts

It is extremely important to keep all hardware tight:

  • Use new bolts and nuts when installing new end bits and cutting edges to ensure against metal fatigue
  • Surfaces must be clean of dirt, paint, scale, rust, and weld splatter
  • Mating surfaces must be clean and flat to assure maximum clamping force
  • Bolt and nut threads must be clean; do not apply lubricant to the hardware, as this may over-stretch the bolt
  • Cutting-edge bolts are installed from the center outward or from one end to the other
  • End-bit bolts are installed first from the center outward, then from the center inward
  • Tighten all bolts to the required torque
  • Seat bolt heads in the countersinks with a heavy hammer
  • Tighten the bolts again to required torque
