60-in. (152-cm) Quick-Hitch Front Blade
The 60-in. (152-cm) Front Blade is excellent for moving snow, gravel, dirt, sand, or other loose material. It can be hydraulically angled up to 27 degrees right or left or used in the straight-ahead position.
The front quick-hitch mounting system allows for tool-free change between the front blade, rotary broom, and snow blower on garden and small-chassis tractors.
Front blade heavy-duty construction
Welded reinforcing angle and scraper edge
The cutting edge and blade form a continuous curve:
The cutting edge on this blade is reversible.
A replaceable cutting edge greatly extends the useful life of the blade.
A reinforcing angle is welded behind the front edge of the blade to provide added strength.
Standard, heavy-duty skid shoes last a long time:
Breakaway feature
Breakaway feature locking pin
Two large coil springs allow the bottom of the blade edge to be pushed back if a solid object is struck:
Adjustable skid shoe
Adjustable skid shoes on each side of the blade allow the operator to select the correct blading height to match various conditions and job requirements:
Front quick-hitch mounting system
The hitch slips over and locks onto the tractor frame with attached snap pins:
NOTE:
1) 2305, 2025R, 2032R, 2320, 2520, and 2720 Tractors must be equipped with front-attaching support kit for use with the Quik-Tatch front hitch.
2) If planning to use a Quik-Tatch front hitch with an OnRamp™ mower (2025R, 2032R, 2320, 2520, 2720 only), a front hitch/mid mower combo bracket is needed to retain a tool-free change between the front hitch and the mid-mower.
Quick-hitch hydraulic lift and angling
The front blade has a vertical working range of approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm), with enough height for clearance over curbs and also the ability to work below ground level.
The blade can be used straight ahead or angled left or right, up to 27 degrees:
The blade is angled, raised, and lowered by using the tractor hydraulic system.
