Pocket Angling - This version incorporates pockets into the top of the c-frame to which
brace arms from the back corners of the blade are attached. To angle the blade, the operator must
disconnect both arms from the pockets, then manually push the blade to the desired angle, pivoting it
about it's center mounting point. Normally three positions, 25 degrees left, 25 right and straight are
provided. Once in place the arms are again connected to the pockets by inserting their trunnions and
locking them in place. Much of the time, reconnecting to the pockets is a difficult chore due to the need
for the operator to balance the blade weight while inserting the trunnions into their pockets. Any
misalignment makes the chore next to impossible.
Manual Slider Angling- This version incorporates a slider track along the top of the c-frame.
Trunnions from the brace arms are attached to a shoe which slides along this track insuring that blade is
always aligned with the top of the c-frame. To angle the blade the sliding shoe is unlocked from it's
position on the slider track. By moving the tractor backwards or forwards with one corner of the blade
touching the ground, the blade can be angled without manual work. Once the blade is angled to the
desired angle, the sliding shoe is once again locked to the track. Normally three locking positions are
provided, similar to those on the Pocket Angling.
Hydraulic Slider Angling - This version incorporates angling cylinders along with a
slider track and sliding shoe mounted on top of the c-frame. Any angle between the extremes of left and
right can be dynamically set from the operators console. In effect, this is an Outside Mounted PAT
Blade or 6 Way Blade (Raise - Lower, Tilt Left - Right, Angle Left - Right).
When an P.A.T. Blade is to be used on a job requiring a large tractor, this is the blade to choose.
PAT - Power Angle and Tilt - This special category of Angle Blades is
generally mounted on smaller tractors due to limitations of the narrow inside push frame. Angling and
Tilting cylinders are provide infinite adjustment of all functions.
