Sad, isn't it?
That's because the tractor manufacturers are too stingy to use tougher steel. They use CRS or HRS, which has zero spring back. Just a little harder alloy would be more proper for the application. Just a little harder and the edge would be all but impossible to bend, and only a little more expensive to buy.
I fixed my warped edge by pushing against a stump. Lucked out and got it perfect on 1 try.
I'm tempted to weld a big ole truck leaf spring to my new bucket. I bet THAT would spring back.
