Applications & Best Practices

anyone used a tilting blade on a mini?  I have never used one or seen one on a job.  i know most brands have them and now even a dozer bade – 6-way.  Never thought a trackhoe should be doing dozer work, but may be just mssing out?????

we purchased the 304ccr with a blade on it,

at 1st, we thought it was a waste of iron, but in the months that followed, we found it to be a handy tool to knock down rough

ereas to make it easier for the tracks,

now i wish we had one on the 315

Mainly for backfilling trenches and stabilizing the machine when digging in rough materials.

i have a cat 301.8C, i love it, the best thing about this machine is i retract the tracks so they are skinnier than the blade, when the dirt comes around the blade it doesnt mess up my grade!!! awsome.
