![]() “As you look at that application, contractors were asking to have grade control technology on it.” "The dozer blade is more of a cut tool,” Britton said. Like the smart grader blade, Cat’s smart dozer blade plays off the plug-and-play technology. The base Cat smart dozer blade comes standard with all the required hookups to install 3D grade control components Cat “It opens up a huge opportunity for a customer that is thinking, 'Well maybe I don’t really need to get a D3, but I'd really like the tech.'” “It's really simple and it doesn't seem like that big a deal, but it's taken years to develop,” Britton said. In addition, it includes the wiring harnesses, a RAM mount, brackets and all the hardware required for smart grader blade control. The new external control kit includes a third joystick for operating blade raise/lower, tilt, angle, and wing functions, like smart control for D3 series machines. “It's opened up the market to potential 40,000-plus machines out there that customers have running that are reliable and can be upgraded with a simple joystick.” “We’ve got a joystick kit that allows us to be backward compatible,” Britton said. GB120 and GB124 blades automatically detect whether they are on a D3 series or a machine equipped with an external controller. “Once I have that and I have just that joystick and that blade, I can now put my brand-new smart grader blade on my previous-generation machine,” Britton said. To make it work on all D-series skid steer and CTL models and select older Cat machines, there is now an optional third joystick mount for the cab. “We've done a bit of homework and figured out that it's really just operating on the joystick, and we just need to be able to communicate with the blade.” Definitely will be purchasing again from Rigs 4 Less in the future.After a few years of additional work, he said, Cat’s answer is finally, “Yes, we can.” Another plus with Rigs for less is they stock many of the attachments. A set of replacement teeth from Rigs was 1/3rd the price compared to the other company that was selling the high-priced stump grinder. I used to dig out the stumps with my backhoe and that will be no more. I was impressed! I give Rigs 4 Less, the stump grinder, and their web site an A+ rating. After buying and trying Rigs 4 Less stump grinder it blasted through the stump in my yard far better than I thought it would. Researched what they carried for a skid steer stump grinder and found the one they carry to be very good price, (50% less), heavy duty and practical without the extra hydraulic arms and electrical so in short less issues to come up. Fortunately did more research and found Rigs 4 Less close to home. ![]() Also, would have had to wait 12 weeks to get it as well as pay $400 for shipping. One company made a type that seemed more complicated than what was needed to grind a stump having extra hydraulic arms and a necessary 12V electric connection. Found a couple different types that would work. (14 pin and 7 pin required)**ĭid plenty of research on stump grinders and decided to purchase one to be powered by my skid steer. **The standard bobcat 7-pin does not allow for 6-function control, a 14-pin to 7-pin converter will be required for direct control from a bobcat. The receiver features bright green “on-grade” indicators and red “off-grade” indicators, and simple, one cable attachment. Use the optional laser system with an our grader for a perfect grade every time! The transmitter features +/-15% X axis grade range, 0.5% to +25% Y axis grade range and high accuracy up to 3,000 ft. It is ready to accept a laser control system for perfect grading. Also features a electromagnetic valve to gradually adjust the blade height, angle and tilt. It features a 96″ wide blade, control box for in-cab hydraulic control of angle and tilt, and a replaceable cutting edge. The Grader Blade attachment can turn your skid steer into a high-performance grading machine. Print this Page New! 96” Heavy Duty Grader/Dozer Blade
