equipped with 22" coulter blades.

4-12.3 Sharpening – In some cases there is a
desire to sharpen coulter blades for improved
cutting. There are several people who
roll-sharpen coulter blades.
blades used today are made of chrome-bo-
ron steel. The chrome-boron steel has a
higher hardness than traditional carbon-steel
blades for increased wear. Higher hardness
makes roll sharpening more difficult often
with mixed results, and is not covered by
warranty. Coulter blade manufacturers will
not cover any alterations to blades other than
the place of manufacture. Results from
roll-sharpening damage may not be immedi-
ate, and may take more than a season to be
noticeable. If you choose to sharpen coulter
blades, check with local dealers for reputable
experienced sharpeners that will stand be-
hind their work.
