BLADE ANGLE (PITCH)
Under normal operating conditions, blade angle
is minimal (blade bottom is at). In extremely
hard soil or when cutting with a dull blade, the
blade may want to ride out of the ground. It may
then help to adjust blade angle forward (see
Adjusting Blade Angle below). A short trial run
will indicate which is the best blade angle.
NOTE: Extreme blade angles put extra stress on
the side arms. To reduce stress on the machine,
operate with the attest blade angle that gives
satisfactory results.
