I've been running my Kubota/Curtis plow with the shoes in the up position so only the cutting edge has been contacting the ground. Then I noticed that the outside edges were wearing faster than the middle. Could this be because I usually run the blade at an angle therefore wearing the leading edge more than the middle? I have since lowered the shoes to make contact with the ground hoping this will even the wear more.
I also noticed on the Curtis web site the following description of the 72" snow blade for the JD:
Curtis 72" Front Blade
Standard power lift and 5- position manual angle.
Extended push frame for toughness.
Reversible 1/4" x 5" - high carbon steel cutting edge.
Heavy duty trip springs (5/16" dia. wire x 10" length).
4 Pin detachment - seconds to remove.
12 - Volt lift/lower switch with harness included.
I assume it's the same as the one they make for Kubota so they both would have the "Reversible 1/4" x 5" - high carbon steel cutting edge". This isn't mentioned at all in the Kubota manual but at $65+ for a replacement it would be good to know you can double its life by flipping it over.
