Disc Blades - Landoll 6230 Series Operator's Manual

4-16 DISC BLADES

4-16.1 The 6230 disc is equipped with full con-
cavity disc blades on both front and rear.
This is 3" concavity for 24" diameter blades
and 2-1/2" concavity for 22" diameter disc
blades. The use of other concavity blades
can give unpredictable results and is not rec-
ommended.
4-16.2 The 24" diameter blades are used for
standard configuration with 4 ga (.256") for
use in heavier soils and occasional rock. 6
ga. (.197") blades are recommended for
lighter soils. When operating in rocky condi-
tions 22" 4 ga. (.256") blades are recom-
mended.
4-16.3 Sharpening – In some cases there is a
desire to sharpen disc blades for improved
cutting. There are several people who
roll-sharpen disc blades.
used today are made of chrome-boron steel.
The chrome-boron steel has a higher hard-
ness than traditional carbon-steel blades for
increased wear. Higher hardness makes roll
sharpening more difficult often with mixed re-
sults, and is not covered by warranty. Disc
blade manufacturers will not cover any alter-
ations to blades other than the place of man-
ufacture. Results from roll-sharpening dam-
age may not be immediate, and may take
more than a season to be noticeable. If you
choose to sharpen disc blades, check with
local dealers
sharpeners that will stand behind their work.
