6-way blade on an 8 ton machine

tkoden ยท 2015-03-16 12:44

We are looking at replacing out Cat 307 with a newer equivalent size machine. Does anyone make a 6 way blade in this size machine? I have noticed some of the smaller excavators have 4 way and even some have 6 way blades but I haven't seen anything in a larger 8 ton machine. The blade on our current machine is very handy for back filling and doing light grading but a 6 way would be awesome.

    Don't know of any with 6way. Our Kubota kx080 has a 4 way.

    Do you find the angle pivot that useful?
