Important Terminology
These are some important descriptive terms, referring to the different functions a scrape blade can be outfitted with. Combine all three of these options, and you'll have the most ability and versatility, which is what the majority desires.
Angle Function
Scrape blade angle function is the most common one you'll find, even on most entry level blades. This allows you to turn the moldboard and generally has a few settings, to the left and right. When it comes to those settings, more is better, which will enable the operator to better dial in the optimal angle for various tasks. Besides having forward angle settings, most nicer blades in the industry allow the user to turn the blade 180 degrees, so you're also able to use it in various angles while traveling in reverse. Because the scrape blade moldboard pivots on a main angle pin, otherwise known as a "king pin", this area is a very crucial spot when it comes to the need for structural integrity. At EA, we use Hardox 450 steel and other design criteria in areas like that, to ensure our blades are ready to perform optimally on the tractor range we recommend for each model.
Tilt Function
The ability to tilt your scrape blade is a very desirable and useful function in which many cheaper value models do not offer. When you tilt a scrape blade, it results in one side of the blade being lower than the other, which is great and essential for creating or cleaning out driveway drainage ditches, or road side ditches. Having a tilt function is an important consideration, but being able to easily actuate it, in our opinion, is equally as important. All but one blade by EA has a tilt function, and the ones which do have the ability to tilt will allow you to make the adjustment, either by simply pulling a pin, or even easier, by hydraulically actuating it.
Offset Function
Offset function on a scrape blade gives you the ability to move the moldboard to the left or right, which will extend it beyond your tractor's tire footprint. When you compare a simple, entry level scrape blade and a more premium, deluxe model, the ability to offset the moldboard will create much separation between the two. If you want the most versatility for a wide variety of tasks, offset is truly a must, but let's be a little more specific. There are manufacturers out there who advertise offset scrape blades, but the procedure to offset the moldboard frequently requires you to physically unbolt the moldboard and reinstall it to the left or right. Having to use tools every time is far from easy or convenient, and that's why the procedure to offset an EA scrape blade is as easy as pulling a pin, and then swinging over the entire assembly, or, even better, to hydraulically actuate it from the comfort of your seat.
I have one of those blades and I love it but wish it had skid shoes available. I had to build my own. With the high cost of it it should come with those
The mother of all rear grader blades . Better too spend the money on these . Even if you don’t use all the functions on it you have neighbour hood superiority . Very nice piece of equipment 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the great words, and for following along!!
Unfortunately my tractor only has two rear remotes! But I will look at the other models you have! The town does a poor job of maintaining the road to our house, the buildup on the sides of the road from snow plowing is keeping the water in the road. Not a good thing! Would like to have a rear blade to address this issue! Have to see what you have there!
Keep in mind that you can order this blade with as many hydraulic options as you have outlets for, and the remainder will be manual. Even if you order it all hydraulic, you can still actuate all of the functions without hydraulics.
Roughly, how much them blades set you back in the pocketbook ?
I bought one last spring without tail wheel or hydraulic tilt and it was over 2700. But you won’t find a better built blade for a small tractor
