LANCASTER - Life
is so full of things to do,
that often just getting
essentials done is all we
can manage. The extra
chores around the farm
- grading the road or
building waterways -
require an extra push to
fit into a work schedule
But, careless haste in
using a tractor blade
can lead to accidents or
broken equipment,

Obstacles hidden
under a pile of dirt or

problems for the tractor

"The farmer knows

is saving virtue
Tractor blades are designed to push or pull things not hit
them. He advises farmers to take time, moving big loads with
two or three passes rather than taking the whole toad on
once.
v Hadler cautions far
mers to always use seat
belts.
‘lf you don’t have
them on your tractor,
get them,” he states.
“Also use the blade so
you can maintain a
firm, level footing for
the tractor. Stay away
from ditches. If you
have an offset
capability, adjust it so
you’re working to the
side. Or, turn the blade
so you’re pushing in
stead of pulling the
load.”
Tractor blades are
low maintenance pieces

to Hadler, but should be
checked out frequently
for cracks or broken

happen otten, a blade
may be cracked or a
weld start to break as a
result of some jolt
during operation.
Checking for and
repairuig these small
cracks will avoid a
major failure during a
busy work season,”
Hadler said.
"Farmers should also
avoid trying to do more
than the blade is
capable of doing. It is
possible to take on a
load so big as to damage
the tractor,” Hadler
says. "So, don’t force
it.”
Most tractor blades
are purchased for one
specific purpose such as
road grading, but
Hadler suggests far-
mers also take time to
consider the other uses
the blade may have. He
outlines factors buyers
may want to consider.
Match blade size to
tractor size. Too small a
blade could get tom up
because it’s difficult to
sense from the tractor
the amount of force
being put on the blade.
Too large a blade is a
waste of money since it
can’t be used fully and is
unwieldy for the tractor.
Where will the blade
be used 9
If it will be used to
clear feedlots or
buildings or for grading
or leveling around farm
buildings, the farmer
should know the width of
gates or doors through
which he will want to
move the blade.
How will the blade be
used?
For light farm con
struction such as
building waterways or
ditching, he may want
to select a blade that
will tilt so it can be
offset and used at an
angle.
“Sure you may want
to get a blade today to
clear a feedlot, but the
smart farmer will get
the most from his
money by thinking of
other tasks for which
the blade can be used,”
Hadler says.
