Hello, this weekend I have to make a 600km trip to pick up a 44A D6B. I need to get a wide load permit, but I can only get the permit Mon-Fri. The machine has a 12ft blade and I'm wondering if anyone knows how much width can be reduced if the blade is manually angled.

According to my chart the 11'-10" long angle blade gives a 10'-9-3/4" width when angled.

Angle blades tend to be very wide.
When moving tractors with angle blade I have removed the blade and lay it down on the floor and park the tractor over the top of it. Leave the "C" frame on the tractor.
Here the standard width is 2.5 meter.or 3 meter with lights and flags or 3.5 meter day light only.
Angel blades generally detach easily.
