Tractor Pushup Blades
It has taken us some time to perfect our pushup blades. Something to think about, It must float up and down with the concrete, then it must float from side to side with the concrete. Some concrete is sloped to drain water away from the bunker. It must be adjustable to compensate again. You must build it light enough for the tractor to carry the weight. It must be heavy enough to be durable, but it can't be so strong that if something is hit by mistake it damages the tractor. It must fold up out of the way to be able to go in and out of gates and close areas. The blade must be set at the right angle to roll the feed but not throw it into the flush lane. The wear blade must be replaceable. There must be options of blade materials for the different customer views. There must be protection from uneven or broken concrete. You must make blocks that help extend the life of the wear blade. Keeping all of that in mind, are you ready to start building your own? Or would you rather purchase one from us, where we have taken all the thinking out of it to do a perfect job for you?

Feed Saver Blade
We
would like to introduce to you our new blade system called the Feed Saver. It’s
actually comprised of two blades. The front blade scrapes and brings out the
feed packed against the manger wall. The second blade rolls the trapped feed with
the remaining feed in the manger and makes all of the feed fresh and eatable
with no loss.
This unit
can be used as a pushup blade only by leaving the manger scraper in the upright
position. It’s a dual-purpose system that will work for most any type of feed.
It can be
built as a new unit on a 40 to 60 HP small frame tractor or we can do a retro install
on a blade that you may have already purchased from us.
All parts are replaceable
as accidents can and usually do happen. All wear parts are in stock always

The back panel on the front mount Pushup Blades are made from 3/16 plate and rolled. They also have reinforcement on the bottom for the replacement blade mount and the top for more durable strength.
