iMatch Quick-Attach
Hitch System
Frontier 20 and 21 Series
Landscape Tools are compatible
with the iMatch ASAE Category 1
quick-attach hitch system. This
innovative and affordable device
converts a 3-point hitch to fixed
hooks and attaching points, which
allows for easy connection.
The iMatch system is a welcome
alternative to the sometimes
challenging and awkward task
of lining up 3-point hitch
implements.

Frontier Rear Blades
deliver fine, precision
grading and leveling.
Shape a lawn. Grade around a home.
Smooth a gravel driveway. These
tools are designed for maximum
versatility. Manually adjustable tilt
and angle make it easy to match a
wide range of conditions and leveling needs. Swing the blade around
and use it to backfill or clear debris
or snow. Add the optional endplates
to hold in extra material and drag
it from one place to another. For
increased versatility, the RB2072 and
RB2084 are equipped with 12-inch
manual offset left and right. Optional
skid shoes protect the cutting edge
from hitting low-lying obstructions.
The 20 Series Standard-Duty
Rear Blades are compatible with
tractors of 19 to 55 horsepower
with a Category 1 hitch. Three
working widths are available, from
60 to 84 inches.
A formed, upper moldboard edge increases rigidity. Moldboard thickness is 3/16-inch for RB2060
and 1/4-inch for RB2072 and RB2084.
A heavy, welded mast and 4x4-inch
tubular steel frame deliver added
strength and rigidity.
Operator’s manual container
concealed within mast for added
protection.
Adjusting the angle is easy. Simply remove the steel pin and rotate the blade to the
desired setting, or swing it around for backfilling.
Practical Frontier Box Blades
are built for tough jobs. A heavy-
duty mast constructed of thick, 3/8-inch
plate steel delivers superior rigidity and
strength. Endplates have a formed, top edge
for extra muscle … there’s no need for
gussets. And check out the 3/8x1-inch strap
inside the scarifier tube. It provides reinforcement, shank support, and prevents premature
wearing on the slots.
Choose from three scarifier depth adjustments to meet a variety of ground conditions.
Shanks can be stored on the scarifier beam
when using the box blade for other tasks.
The 20 Series Standard-Duty Box Blades are
compatible with tractors of 17 to 55 horsepower with a Category 1 hitch. Four working
widths are available, from 48 to 72 inches.
For tractors up to 70 horsepower with a
Category 1 hitch, the 21 Series Medium-Duty
Box Blades come in two working widths: 72
and 84 inches.
Choose from three
scarifier depth
adjustments to
meet a variety of
ground conditions.
Adjustments are easy!
Simply remove the
steel pin, and raise or
lower the scarifier to
increase or decrease
ground penetration.
Scarifier shanks can
be stored on the
scarifier beam when
using the box blade
for other tasks.
Tailgates on the 21 Series
float, allowing material to
flow through the blade during
heavy grading conditions.
Heavy-duty, concave
back plate with
formed upper edge
provides added
rigidity and strength
for trouble-free
performance.
Cutting edges are
positioned 3/4-inch
below the endplates
to ensure precise
leveling and a fine
finish. They’re
also reversible for
extended life.
Endplates are formed
along top edge for
structural strength.
On the 21 Series
the 3/8x3-inch steel
reinforcement plates
along the bottom
edges give the
box blade additional
strength and
durability.
Nothing handles tough
clean-up and grooming
jobs better than Frontier
Landscape Rakes. Whether
you’re removing debris, rocks, and brush,
smoothing an area for planting seed or
sod, or grooming a horse arena, Frontier
Landscape Rakes simplify the job.
A strong tubular steel frame supports an angled tine beam for superior
performance. Heat-treated steel tines
are mounted with bolts and held secure
with a steel waffle plate. This mounting
ensures positive spacing and alignment,
and provides increased strength and
durability. Plus, it makes replacement fast
and easy — saving you time and money.
Tines are spaced 1 inch apart for exceptional material pick-up and distribution.
The 20 Series Standard-Duty and 21
Series Medium-Duty Landscape Rakes
are compatible with tractors of 19 to
55 horsepower with a Category 1 hitch.
Three working widths are available: 72,
84, and 96 inches.
Each steel waffle plate holds six spring steel
tines for increased strength and durability.
Achieve the desired
raking profile by
adjusting the tine
beam in one of five
different positions
forward and three
positions in reverse.
Simply remove the
steel pin and rotate
the beam to the
desired setting.
