John Deere now manufactures the mechanical angle blade for the 950K and 1050K crawler dozers.
The John Deere-designed mechanical angle blade can be manually angled side to side, and is designed for a variety of jobs, including backfilling, rough grading, and general earthmoving.
The three-position adjustable blade can be configured using the provided pin points on the push beams. Redesigned with an improved blade profile, the mechanical angle blade provides better shedding of material, Deere says, and reduces the likelihood of blade plugging. The blade width and height have been optimized for performance on Deere dozers.
The approach angle on the 950K and 1050K blades has been increased 29 percent versus the previous offering. Additionally, changes to the hydraulic hose routing to the blade are meant to offer better protection against damage. The blade weight was reduced and reinvested in the C-frame for better weight distribution, balance, and durability.
