Hitch on RB23 Rear Blade
The Frontier™ RB23 and RB24 Series Rear Blades are Quik-Coupler compatible with Category 2 hitches, allowing a quick, efficient hookup.
Adjustable turntable for 360-degree turning radius
The turntable on the Frontier™ RB22, RB23, and RB24 Series Rear Blades allows a complete 360-degree turning radius for leveling perfection.
Manually adjusting the offset, angle, and tilt allows the blade to adapt to a variety of conditions and provides added protection and leveling perfection.
Frontier™ rear blade cutting edge
All Frontier RB Series Rear Blade cutting edges are reversible, featuring bevels on both edges to give the blade twice the work life.
End plate option on RB24 Rear Blade

End plates on RB23 Rear Blade
End plates allow Frontier™ RB Series Rear Blades to hold more material while dragging it from place to place. This is ideal for leveling uneven terrain.
Each of the field conversion kits are for a pair of end plates and prevent the blades from windrowing material when backfilling or leveling.

Skid shoes increase the life of the cutting edge on all RB Series Rear Blades and avoid damaging the work surface while cleaning corrals or plowing snow.
NOTE: Skid shoe style shown in image above used with RB2060, RB2072, and RB2084 models.
The skid shoe kits include one pair and allow the blade to ride on the shoes at a set height to allow the operator control of the blade depth.
The bundles listed below identify the rear blades they fit.
Hydraulic cylinder on RB23 Rear Blade
The field-conversion hydraulic cylinder kit includes one cylinder. This kit allows the operator to position the blade without having to get off of the operator's station.
NOTE: A rear selective control valve (SCV) is required.
