grader blade turning

[Anonymous-0]

Someone mentioned on a recent post that they reccomended a 6 foot blade because a 7 foot blade would not reverse without taking it off. Well, It didnt seem right to me so I put my 7 foot blade on and tried it. I have an NAA and a 7 foot woods blade. With the lift up it hit the tires and would not reverse. But with the lift down and the blade about one inch off the ground, it swung around handily, missing the tires.Keep this in mind for the future.

I think that's the only reason they make tires round????? Good post and makes a lot of sense. David.

Thanks for the info. I posted the blade question the other day and think I may have found a good used back blade. It's a 6 footer, but I might go with a 7 footer if I buy new.

I just sold (I thinK) a 7 foot King kutter like new for $160. Might help with your pricing

J.J. Also, just shorten up on the top lift until the 7ft. blade doesn't hit the tires. Ron
