need help please, ordered wrong one, now trying to sell it. what is this, its about 157 inches long.
"Rome Plow" for shearing trees. They were used in Vietnam, easy to find information on, the company is still around and has a website.
ROME KG Blade. John
Not just Vietnam, they are still commonly used on D8s in SC. would need dimensions on the mounts on the other side to determine what it fits.
Yep , Cutter blade . At 157 " probably made for D7 size machine . We still use one for clearing . One of my favorite tools . http://s1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/td25c/sharpenkg001_zps217c0d22.mp4.html They can be used to shear smaller trees at or above ground level ( as done in Vietnam ) to level the trees but leave the root systems & foliage on top of the ground to prevent erosion . Most of the time on a clearing job I run the cutting edge just under the ground surface ( depth depends on the size of the tree ) using it more like a plow to cut the root systems & roll out the tree http://s1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/td25c/sharpenkg005_zpsbce374be.mp4.html Stinger edge on the right hand side is used to split a big tree or stump to ease the extraction .
Not a rome but a cat angle blade with a cutter bolted on. By the way the web is missing about 12'' of iron.
Yeah Heavy Metal , good observation . It looks similar to my Rome K/G blade but I noticed the cutting edge & bolts after you mentioned it .
There was a bolt on kit offered in the sixties to convert an angle blade to a K G type blade. I know a farmer who fixed one up on a d6 for shearing thorn trees.
I think I see 65E painted under that 4x4, I would lean towards a komatsu 65e dozer????TIO
I have not seen Komatsu use this type........
