Design Rationale

  • This is like a box blade, except for hilling by spilling soil through an adjustable channel.
  • Uses standard library - box tubing, same frame as flail mower and keyline plow. This is the universal drawbar.
  • Bearings are used to mount the blade, and angle of blade is adjustable via bearing pivot. Rear bearing is adjustable as well
  • Height of blade is adjustable by hydraulically controlled wheels
  • Standard 3x8" cylinders
  • Idler wheel library is used
  • Implement is trainable - more implements can be strung behind it.
  • Designed to go behind a flail mower for hilling operation
  • Keyline plow and planter follows this machine.
