Important Terminology
These are some important descriptive terms, referring to the different functions a scrape blade can be outfitted with. Combine all three of these options, and you'll have the most ability and versatility, which is what the majority desires.

Angle Function
Scrape blade angle function is the most common one you'll find, even on most entry level blades. This allows you to turn the moldboard and generally has a few settings, to the left and right. When it comes to those settings, more is better, which will enable the operator to better dial in the optimal angle for various tasks. Besides having forward angle settings, most nicer blades in the industry allow the user to turn the blade 180 degrees, so you're also able to use it in various angles while traveling in reverse. Because the scrape blade moldboard pivots on a main angle pin, otherwise known as a "king pin", this area is a very crucial spot when it comes to the need for structural integrity. At EA, we use Hardox 450 steel and other design criteria in areas like that, to ensure our blades are ready to perform optimally on the tractor range we recommend for each model.

Tilt Function
The ability to tilt your scrape blade is a very desirable and useful function in which many cheaper value models do not offer. When you tilt a scrape blade, it results in one side of the blade being lower than the other, which is great and essential for creating or cleaning out driveway drainage ditches, or road side ditches. Having a tilt function is an important consideration, but being able to easily actuate it, in our opinion, is equally as important. All but one blade by EA has a tilt function, and the ones which do have the ability to tilt will allow you to make the adjustment, either by simply pulling a pin, or even easier, by hydraulically actuating it.

Offset Function
Offset function on a scrape blade gives you the ability to move the moldboard to the left or right, which will extend it beyond your tractor's tire footprint. When you compare a simple, entry level scrape blade and a more premium, deluxe model, the ability to offset the moldboard will create much separation between the two. If you want the most versatility for a wide variety of tasks, offset is truly a must, but let's be a little more specific. There are manufacturers out there who advertise offset scrape blades, but the procedure to offset the moldboard frequently requires you to physically unbolt the moldboard and reinstall it to the left or right. Having to use tools every time is far from easy or convenient, and that's why the procedure to offset an EA scrape blade is as easy as pulling a pin, and then swinging over the entire assembly, or, even better, to hydraulically actuate it from the comfort of your seat.
