for X500 Select Series Lawn Tractors - 48-in. Front Blade Back
- Wide 48-inch front blade completely clears material from the path of the tractor for efficient clearing
- 5-position blade angling provides several clearing options
- Optional blade angling kit allows you to position blade from seat
- Coil-spring breakaway feature reduces blade damage when solid objects are struck
This 48-in. (122-cm) Front Blade is available for model year 2016 and newer X394 Tractors and X500 Select Series Tractors.
NOTE: The 48-in. (122-cm) Front Blade is recommended for the X394, but not other X300 Series Tractors. The 44-in. (112-cm) Front Blade is available for the other X300 Series Tractors, including the X394.
The 48-in. (122-cm) Front Blade is:
- Designed for residential use
- Excellent for pushing snow and loose material
- Wide enough to completely clear material away from the path of the tractor when in the angled position
The blade is constructed of heavy, 0.12-in. (3-mm) thick steel.
A reinforcing angle behind the blade gives extra strength at the working edge.
The blade's cutting edge is made from hardened steel and is replaceable.
Adjustable skid shoes on each side of the blade allow the operator to select the correct blading height to match various conditions and job requirements:
- Skid shoes are adjustable to eight different heights.
- Seven at 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) increments and one at 1-in. (25.4-mm) increment
- Uniform grading/blading is easier when using the adjustable skid shoes.
- Skid shoes are replaceable, as they wear out over time.
Two large coil springs hold the blade in a vertical working position.
The bottom edge will be pushed back if a solid object is struck:
- Reduces damage to the blade
- Prevents the operator from being jolted
The blade can be locked (red arrow) in the vertical position, if desired.
