Adjustable V-Blade For ATV's
Straight blades for ATV's have been around for several years but, as far as we know, this is the first adjustable V-blade on the market to fit ATV's and garden tractors. The light-weight (120 lbs.) blade can be adjusted to 9 different positions including V forward, V backwards, straight across, and angled to either side. Total width is 50 in. Right and left sides of the blade attach to a hinged cowl at center and can be positioned by a single latch pin. A horizontal hinge pin behind the blade allows the blade to pivot forward if the bottom edge of the blade strikes an object. Four springs bring the blade back to its upright position after it's tripped. A manual lift handle mounted just ahead of the opera-tor raises and lowers the blade.
We built three prototypes before coming up with this production model. It's ideal for moving snow and dirt and also works great in and around cattle yards. Sells for $485. (Michael Segorskl, American O. R. V. Products, Inc., 802 Clark Drive, Gladstone, Mich. 49837 ph 906 428-9299)
