Due to the increased use of synthetic materials such as rubber and fibre surface mixes, the focus and development of this machine has been on much more than just levelling the arena.
While most current systems use trailing tines, Quad-x engineers have challenged this with their advanced protruding conditioner that lifts compacted subsurface material and aerates this to the surface. Superb surface condition results have been achieved due to specially shaped advanced break up. The conditioners also remain in the material even with much larger break out forces associated with freezing conditions.
With an improved larger capacity, the levelling blades allow more material to be carried, especially useful for dealing with material build up around the edges. The smooth profile of the blades where contact with the surface is made allows for a much smoother finish.
The adjustable rear spiral crumble roller ensures that more than one edge is touching the ground at any one time, providing a light unsymmetrical compaction system that doesn’t seal the surface. This allows free drainage, and assists in maximising hoof support.

- Easily adjustable height with infinite height settings between min/max height
Adjustable Angled Wing Blade
- For grading the edges to provide a 1 pass finish
- Adjustable angle easily positioned using a new locking design
- 5 settings
- easy to use. Spring bolt assist – No tools required. Simply pull spring and move
- Heavy duty castor to assist with grading round objects and edges to protect the blade from damage
- Shorter wings to reduce twisting pulling forces
Tines
- 14 Heavy duty high tensile steel double sprung, dual prong tines –with 28 contact points with subsurface
- Adjustable height
- Forward facing – Better break up than trailing tine
- Better for frozen conditions, more break up
Pull to lower into work MODE
- Large easy to use lever to switch between work and travel modes with having to readjust height settings
- Push down to raise into transport mode
- Pull up to lower into work more
- Easy to use
- Little force required, but not easy to hit by mistake
Tyres
- Wider 15-6×6 tyres to avoid sinking
- Wheels can be locked up to use the Grader without the tyres following the ground
