Breakaway feature

The breakaway feature includes two large coil springs that help the blade edge retract when encountering a solid object. This reduces the operational shock experienced by the driver and minimizes the risk of blade damage. A locking pin keeps the blade secured in the desired position.

Heavy-Duty Construction

A reinforcing angle behind the blade's front edge ensures durability. The blade has a replaceable cutting edge that forms a continuous curve, rolling material rather than pushing it, which enhances capacity and extends the blade's life.
