Box blade earth grading implement
A box blade earth grading implement incorporating a blade; a left wall having upper and lower segments, the lower segment having a lower end, and the upper segment being attached to the left end of the blade; a right wall having upper and lower segments, the lower segment having a lower end, and the upper segment being attached to the right end of the blade; left and right skid plates attached to the lower ends of the lower wall segments; left and right hydraulic cylinders having left and right upper mounts attaching to the walls' upper segments; left and right pivot mounts attaching the lower ends of the left and right hydraulic cylinders to the left and right skid plates; and a towing tongue extending forwardly from the blade.
Work machine with automatic pitch control of implement
A system and method for automatically adjusting the pitch of a work implement attached to a work vehicle, wherein the work implement has adjustable wings. The system and method include moving materials with a blade having an adjustable wing located at one end of a center portion of the blade. blade operatively connected to the work vehicle is positionable with respect to the work vehicle in response to an operator command. A commanded position of the blade is identified based on a blade positioning signal received from the operator command transmitted by an operator control device. An inclined position of the adjustable wing with respect to the center portion of the blade is identified. A pitch of the blade with respect to the work vehicle based is automatically adjusted based on the identified commanded position of the blade and the identified inclined position of the adjustable wing.
