How does blade width affect grading productivity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: The width of the blade will dictate the amount of surface area that can be graded at once. A broader moldboard (like the 14-foot version on the 160H) will decrease the number of passes needed, which results in a higher efficiency rate and reduces the fuel and labor expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Is_the_2005_Caterpillar_160H_still_a_good_investment_today\"><\/span>2.
