A clearing blade adapted to be attached to a machine. The clearing blade includes a moldboard having a curved structure, a pair of stingers extending forwardly of the moldboard and arranged in a spaced apart arrangement from opposing lateral ends of the clearing blade. Each stinger includes a penetration portion adapted to penetrate and form a vertical cut. The clearing blade further includes a center blade arranged centrally to the moldboard, and an angled side blade extending inwardly from each of the pair of stingers towards the center blade. Each angled side blade is arranged in a substantially horizontal plane and is arranged at an obtuse angle relative to the center blade. Moreover, the clearing blade includes a plurality of attachment members such as, for example, a plurality of trunnion balls for engaging the clearing blade with the machine.

A control system for the work vehicle includes a display, an input device, and a controller. The controller displays a current position of a work vehicle on a screen of a display. The controller receives a first input signal indicating an input operation by an operator from a input device. The controller determines, as a first position, the position of the work vehicle when the first input signal is received. The controller displays the first position on the screen of the display. The controller receives a second input signal indicating an input operation by an operator from the input device. The controller determines, as the second position, the position of the work vehicle when the second input signal is received. The controller determines a target design surface indicating a target trajectory of a work implement based on reference position information including at least the first position and the second position.

A grader for a roadway surface includes a material hopper having a hopper inlet, and a hopper outlet. The hopper outlet is configured to flow material from the hopper onto the roadway surface. A grader blade is located rearward of the hopper outlet relative to a travel direction of the grader along the roadway surface. The grader blade has a lowermost blade surface such that a blade height from the lowermost blade surface to the roadway surface is selectable changeable to provide a selected thickness and/or distribution of the material on the roadway surface.

A system, method, and apparatus includes measuring wear of a cutting edge of a blade of a work vehicle. Blade position or calibration measurements are made with or without a cutting edge. A wear condition of the cutting edge is acceptable when the blade position measurement less an acceptable wear to the cutting edge amount is less than a blade calibration measurement. A wear condition of the cutting edge is unacceptable when the blade position measurement less an acceptable wear to the cutting edge amount is greater than a blade calibration measurement. Alternatively, a wear condition of the cutting edge is unacceptable when a blade calibration measurement plus a tolerance margin is greater than the blade position measurement. The wear condition of the cutting edge is acceptable when the blade calibration measurement plus a tolerance margin is less than the blade position measurement.

A work vehicle comprising a frame supported by a ground engaging device. A boom assembly is coupled to the frame. A boom cylinder is coupled to the frame and the boom assembly. An attachment coupler is coupled to a distal portion of the boom assembly. At least one tilt cylinder is coupled to the boom assembly and the attachment coupler. A primary attachment is coupled to the attachment coupler. A secondary attachment is coupled to the primary attachment. The secondary attachment comprises a stand configured to move between a standing mode and a stored mode, wherein the stand automatically moves to the standing mode when it is decoupled from the primary attachment.

An edge plate removal system includes a frame, a set of alignment rods attached to the frame, a set of clamping assemblies attached to the frame, a handle attached to the frame, and a set of lift points attached to the frame. Each alignment rod, of the set of alignment rods, is configured to be inserted into a bore of an edge plate (e.g., a cutting edge) of an implement (e.g., a blade) of a machine. Each clamping assembly, of the set of clamping assemblies, is configured to clamp the edge plate and includes a first clamp and a second clamp, a clamp rod, a set of retention nuts, and a set of tightening nuts. The handle and the set of lift points are configured to facilitate application of a pulling force on the edge plate when the edge plate is clamped by the clamping assembly.
