Product Details
GS130 Skid Steer Grader Blade 130" / 3.30m (100-135hp)
The GS130 is purpose-built for operators running powerful compact track loaders who require more capability than conventional skid steer grader blades can provide.
Ideal Applications
- Large building pads and platform construction
- Road formation and accessways
- Car parks and hardstands
- Final trim before paving or concrete
- Civil infrastructure and utility projects
By combining precise blade control with the stability of a CTL, the GS130 allows contractors to complete grading work faster, with fewer passes and reduced rework.
Key Engineering Advantages of the GS130
Side Shift for Precision Control
Hydraulic side shift allows the operator to position the blade accurately without repositioning the machine. This is critical when working against string lines, curbs, edges, or existing structures.
Blade Pitch for Finish Accuracy
Blade pitch control enables aggressive cutting when required and fine feathering for finish grading. This flexibility allows the GS130 to handle both bulk material movement and final trimming with the same attachment.
Front Wheel Assembly for Stability
The GS130 features a removeable front wheel assembly that stabilizes the blade during grading operations. This improves accuracy, reduces surface washboarding, and delivers a smoother finished surface compared to skid-mounted blades.
Machine Control Ready
The GS130 is designed to integrate with laser and GNSS machine control systems, enabling repeatable accuracy and improved productivity on large or multi-stage projects.
Benefits:
Accurate precision grading made easy
The SharpGrade Skid Steer Grader Blade enables you to accurately level to within 1/8" (3mm). Using a SharpGrade Grader Blade is up to ten times faster than levelling using a skid steer with standard bucket attachment.
The standard QuadGrade 2D Laser Control system integrates with any 3D machine control system, allowing you to easily grade complex contours with several gradients, diverging offset crown and different cambers directly from the control of the SharpGrade.
Fast results
A curved moldboard - tallest in class, ensures wet material can be easily rolled. Operated from your machine's hydraulic system, in-cab adjustments are a breeze and leveling is up to ten times faster than leveling using a skid steer and standard bucket attachment.
Plug and play attachment
The SharpGrade Grader Blade is quick and easy to attach to your machine. No tools required, simply clip the unit into place and attach the hoses and the QuadGrade 2D compact machine control system comes pre-tuned, ready to start work.
Maintenance free performance
Designed and built with longevity in mind, the SharpGrade Grader Blade features induction hardened pins, self-lubricated bushes and dirt seals in all moving joints, so it won’t let you down when time equals money. The patented, sealed QuadRod system keeps the blade rigid and accurate at all times, with low maintenance. High performance, proportional hydraulic valve, configurable to open & closed center, with built in relief protects the system from overload. Valves feature manual override capability to allow easy diagnosis if there is ever a problem.
Standard Features:
- QuadGrade 2D compact machine control system with adjustable grade height receivers: 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 all large frame skid steers.
- Greased for life, low maintenance design. Induction hardened pins, permanently sealed, self-lubricated HardiLube bushes and dirt seals in all moving joints provide a long low maintenance life.
- Unique QuadRod Linkage. The Patented QuadRod 3 system gives unparalleled rigidity, rated to 135 HP machines (10,000kg per link). Utilizing 4 x Heavy Duty link 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.
- Hydraulic detachable chassis: Remotely remove and reattach the front wheel assembly from the safety of your cab.
- Under 102" wide: For road legal transport with blade articulated and wings folded.
- Adjustable hitch plate: Sets SharpGrade perfectly level with boom fully down, to provide the ultimate in rigidity. This reduces track and tire wear and boom and linkage wear, as the SharpGrade is pushing on the front of the machine, instead of transferring the load to the rear of the machine through the linkages. This is especially important with vertical lift machines. Adjustable hitch plate keeps chassis perpendicular with the ground, so side wings stay flat throughout their travel. Rear viewing ports allow operator to see the rear blade.
- Twin large parabolic mirrors: See the front blade and both front wing tips for confident grading in confined areas, along walls, curbs or foundations.
- Underslung Walking Beam: Patented underslung walking beam reduces wheel scuff when turning.
- Tires: 215/75 R14 with labyrinth seals on wheel bearings keeping grit out.
