Replace Cutting Edge and Compare Components
At 7:46 in
Westerns Plows have One major flaw- their cutting edge-which I permanently fixed
What happens here
Replace the standard cutting edge with a new heavy-duty carbide-filled cutting edge. Start by removing the existing bolts holding the cutting edge in place using an impact wrench. Compare the weight and thickness of the old Western blade (33 lbs) to the new Winter Equipment blade (41 lbs), noting the new blade is 24% heavier. Also, compare the included bolts: Winter Equipment provides stronger grade 8 bolts (six slash marks) versus standard grade 5 bolts (three slash marks). After comparison, attach the new heavy-duty cutting edge and the accompanying curb guards.
Goal: Install the new, heavier cutting edge and understand the material superiority of the upgrade components.
