Earth-Shaping “Multi-Tool” Is Two Machines In One
“Our new pull-type Terraformer 8650, earth-shaping multi-tool does the work of a pull-type V-wing and a Pulldozer, allowing you to contour land fast and efficiently. It’s the most versatile land contouring machine on the market,” says Darin Hubscher, Ag Shield, Benito, Manitoba.
  The Terraformer weighs over 31,000 lbs. and requires a tractor with at least 350 hp. It comes with a bull pull hitch and rides on a pair of radial flotation tires. Maximum cutting width is 28 ft. Transport width is less than 12 ft., with a low center of gravity for safe transport. Hydraulic cylinders and electric-over-hydraulic valves control all operations.
  But what really sets the hydraulic-operated Terraformer apart is that it can be adjusted to form infinite “V” configurations. The adjustments are made by activating a telescoping frame that attaches to the wings and slides forward or backward on the Terraformer’s main beam. By changing the angle of a wing tip at the end of each main V-wing, you can capture or release dirt.  
  “The infinite adjustments let you match the Terraformer’s configuration to your tractor’s pulling capabilities,” says Hubscher.
  The wing tips can be operated independently or straightened out to work like a land plane. “In the wide V mode, the Terraformer can cut a flat ditch bottom with ease,” says Hubscher. “By spreading the main V-wings out and pointing the wing tips forward, the machine forms a U-blade configuration that can capture up to 27 yards of soil at a time.”
  The machine can be equipped with GPS auto grade, which makes it easy to follow the grade on slopes. The accuracy is within fractions of an inch, notes Hubscher.
  The Terraformer retails for $129,500 in Canada and $109,000 in U.S. funds.
