How to Sharpen Brush Hog Blades! Perfectly Balanced and RAZOR SHARP!

What happens here

The removed blades are weighed using a KD-8000 digital scale. The first blade weighs 12.80 ounces (approximately 0.8 pounds), and the second blade weighs 12.78 ounces (approximately 0.79 pounds). The creator explains that a significant weight difference between blades (e.g., a pound or more) can cause severe vibrations, leading to premature wear and damage to the brush hog's gearbox and bearings. The goal is to keep the blades within a close weight tolerance.

Goal: Determine the initial weight of each blade to establish a baseline for balancing.
