2023 SharpGrade B79

Our SharpGrade B79 Medium 79" (2.0m) series box blade shares the same sealed, shielded & lifetime lubricated QuadRod linkage as the Heavy Duty series. The mono beam chassis and close coupled wheels offer low ground pressure and exceptional visibility. Ideal for mid-frame skid steers in the 65 – 85 HP bracket: residential pads, medium industrial flat work, curb & gutter / sidewalk prep, equestrian surfaces.

Get the performance of a larger grading machine right from the seat of your skidsteer loader and take advantage of your loader's inherent manoeuvrability to level ground with unparalleled ease and efficiency.

Using a SharpGrade Box Blade is up to ten times faster than levelling using a skidsteer with standard bucket attachment.

Optional Total Station or dual GNSS 3D systems allows you to easily grade complex contours with several gradients, diverging offset crown and different cambers directly from the control of the SharpGrade.

Features may include:

• Optional QuadGrade 2D system with adjustable grade height receivers:

We offer our bespoke QuadGrade 2D machine control system or can supply our attachment bare but ready for Topcon or Leica 2D or 3D. Electronically adjust the grade height 1/25" (1mm) at a time without leaving your seat. Increased receiver range means you stay on grade longer. It is highly accurate and easy to use, the blade can be manually operated by the 4 in 1 control at any time, with or without the laser control connected. Compatible with skid steers, small wheel loaders and mini excavators

• Greased for life, low maintenance design.

Induction hardened pins, permanently sealed, self-lubricated bushes and dirt seals in all moving joints provide a long low maintenance life.

• Unique QuadRod Linkage.

The Patented QuadRod system gives unparalleled rigidity, allowing use on 100+ HP machines. With only 4 arms, the outboard cylinders are directly connected to the outer edges of the blade, achieving the ultimate in accuracy. All joints are lifetime sealed, lubricated and maintenance free, with no greasing required.

• Retracting wheels:

Offer the ultimate in compact grading, get up close to walls, curbs, foundations or use as a bulldozer, while providing the shortest transport length in class.
