Kubota New Zealand is expanding its range of attachments with the launch of the RBT45 Series, 3-Way Hydraulic Rear Blade.
Typically used for backfilling, landscaping, levelling and grading tasks including forming and maintaining farm roadways. The RBT45 series is offered in two options: the RBT4596 with a 2.4m blade, and the RBT45108 with a 2.7m blade.
Kubota product manager for Land Pride, John Moloney, says the RBT45 series allows the company greater coverage with their range of hydraulic rear blades and providing options for tractors up to 125hp.
The RBT45 series has 3-way blade adjustment as standard. This allows hydraulic angle, tilt and offset, while also being compatible with the Land Pride Quick-Hitch System – offering connection in a safe and timely manner.
An optional cushion valve protects cylinders and blade components during extreme impacts. Meanwhile, other options include rear gauge wheels to help achieve a uniform surface finish, side plates for holding dirt in and skid shoes for blade protection.
For tractors with a limited number of hydraulic outlets, an optional manual selector valve allows two hydraulic functions to be controlled with a single control valve on the tractor.
“The RBT45 Series formed mouldboard improves material flow and strength ensuring a smooth and consistent surface finish,” Moloney explains.
“The main pivot has a heavy-duty 10cm solid kingpin with a 2.5cm thick plate steel turntable, ensuring this blade will stand up to the toughest conditions.”
