01 Use

What it is for

On the left, a wide tractor blade clears the snow from a large farmyard. On the right, in a narrow, cluttered passage, the large width becomes a handicap. Computer-generated image. — **Left:** a wide tractor blade clears the snow from a large farmyard.

What sets it apart:
it targets large widths, not the tight surfaces of a work site.

A tractor pushes a wide, adjustable snow-clearing blade across a snow-covered farmyard; the snow is pushed aside. — The blade clears a width well above that of an excavator-mounted blade.
Synthetic image.

Mounted on the front of the tractor or on a farm loader, the blade pushes snow or material to the side.
Depending on the model, it is angled hydraulically or adjusted by hand.

It is the tool for large surfaces: farmyards, car parks, local roads.
For a driveway or a narrower access, the excavator-mounted blade remains better suited.

A greater width is not always an advantage. On a cluttered or narrow surface, it becomes hard to handle.
The width is chosen with the actual surface to be treated, not with the largest one available.

02 Key technical data

On which machine?

This blade fits on a tractor or a farm loader, not on an excavator.
It is hitched by Euronorm, or to a category II three-point linkage via an adapter.
It weighs from 180 to 470 kg.
The tractor power: we calculate it with you for your machine.

What the tool does

It is used for clearing snow and debris.
Its working width ranges from 2 500 to 3 000 mm, to be checked with you.
The blade is from 720 to 750 mm high, to be checked with you.
The scraper or the blade can be made of polyurethane, to be checked with you.

What is needed on the hydraulic side

It swivels hydraulically or by hand, depending on the model.

03 Your study

Have your equipment checked.

Describe the surface to be treated and the machine that will carry the blade.
Specify the ground surface.

What we need to answer you

On a tractor Its power in hp, and the power take-off speed: 540 or 1000 rpm.
The tractor hitch The three-point linkage category, and the spool valves available.
On a loader Its hitch, Euro or another, and its lifting capacity.
The 3rd function Present or not.
The work The use.

Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.

04 Choice

What determines the choice

01 — The surface to be treated Farmyard, car park, road:
the useful width is chosen with the actual surface, not with the largest.
02 — The tractor or loader available Power, linkage, hydraulic circuit:
the blade is chosen with the machine that carries it.
03 — Adjusting the angle Hydraulic or manual depending on the model:
hydraulic angling is controlled from the cab.
04 — What lies beneath the snow Gravel, paving, asphalt:
the scraper edge and the blade adapt to the surface that must not be damaged.

05 Check

What is checked before ordering

The useful width It is set with the actual surface to be treated, not with a figure from the catalogue.
The hitch Three-point linkage or loader:
we check that the machine carries and manoeuvres the blade.
The scraper edge Rubber or steel depending on the surface to be protected.
Visibility A wide blade reduces the field of view:
positioning and working speed are adapted accordingly.
