- Page 23 FLOAT POSITION The Terrablade has been designed to scalp weeds at the growing crowns. This requires the blade to dig into the ground 2cm to effectively kill weeds. This 2cm working depth is achieved by the inclination of the blade, the blade angle and setting the working depth.

- Page 25 In wet weather and soft ground, the blades require less pressure. If too much pressure is put on them they will dig in aggressively. This will cause the blade to uproot the weed without cutting and not kill the weed. OPERATORS MANUAL - TERRABLADE...
- Page 26 Driving the Terrablade FRONT OR REAR MOUNTING The Terrablade can be front mounted using the three point linkage. When using the 3m, Claydon recommends mounting the Terrablade to the front of the tractor for more accurate results. Alternatively the 3m Terrablade can be rear mounted.

However, the end blade should always overlap, and in some circumstances, may slightly damage the end row of the adjacent drilling. -
