Many of our competitors’ graders do not provide a way to adjust the grading height. In these graders the depth of cut changes as the blade wears. They typically use reversible, center-punched cutting edges. That is, the holes where the blade attaches to the mold board are punched in the center of the blade. When the bottom edge wears out, the operator must detach it and reverse the blade. On our models the grading height is fully adjustable. Our cutting edges are top-punched so that the top of the blade (not the center) attaches to the mold board. Thus as the blade wears, the operator can simply adjust the depth of cut to maintain the grading height and can get the full wear out of the blade without having to reverse it.
* Motor grader edges are available from any local heavy equipment dealer that sells motor graders.
