Furrow Wheel Prevents Flex-Plow Sidedraft
 ✖  |
New from Blanchat Mfg., Harper, Kan., is an add-on sidedraft wheel for flex-type plows which eliminates most sidedraft and greatly reduces landslide wear. It also makes flex-type plows easier to pull and to plow more uniformly, says Greg Blanchat, inventor-manufacturer, who notes that the sidedraft wheel can also be adapted to other types of plows.
"Other plow manufacturers fight sidedraft by making the landslide bigger and longer. We've taken pressure off the landslide and put it against this in-furrow stabilizer wheel. Because it turns, it controls sidedraft with very little friction, thus making the plow easier to pull," explains Blanchat.
Available as standard equipment on the Blanchat Series 11 Flex Plow, and with an additional mounting bracket for other makes of flex plows. Sells for approximately $700.
Blanchat custom-flexes plows, and sells his own self-designed Series II Flex Plows. Billed as "the easiest pulling large plow on the market," they feature the patented sidedraft wheel, an optional guage wheel which allows you to plow within an inch or two of fences, flexing tandem wheels for road transport, and a six-position drawbar which eliminates a hydraulic cylinder. "They also automatically shift from field to road position from the seat of your tractor," notes Blanchat.
