SOL 12444326Q0042 Gila National Forest Motor Grader Front Blade Questions and Answers as of 03AUG2026
Q1. Could you please clarify what they mean by “Tilt Cylinders” in the specification? If possible, could you also verify whether they are referring to hydraulic cylinders used for blade tilt functionality or if they mean another specific feature of the blade assembly?
A1. A blade with ability to angle both left and right as described would be what we need. We would like it to be hydraulically controlled. So, to be clear, we are looking for a dozer type blade to fully install on the front of our 140 Cat Motor Grader. Dozer blade shall include all hardware to install on existing OEM mounting setup on motor grader. Blade shall have ability to hydraulically be maneuvered to raise and lower and also hydraulically angle left and right from inside cab controls.
