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 Positioning. The blade link bar
design extends the possibilities for
moldboard positioning, most beneficial in
mid-range bank sloping and in ditch cutting

Shimless Moldboard Retention System.
The unique shimless moldboard retention
system reduces the potential for blade

Brake Systems. Brakes are located at
each tandem wheel to eliminate braking
loads on the power train. In addition,
the brake systems are redundant and
utilize accumulators to enable stopping
in case of machine failure, further
increasing operational safety.
