BLADES

WESTERN ® snowplows with steel blades are
constructed of heavy gauge steel. To increase
rigidity and strength, the blades are reinforced with
several vertical ribs. The top edges are formed for
added strength and improved appearance.
WESTERN snowplows with poly blades are
constructed of a high molecular weight polyethylene
sheet that is supported with structural steel.
WESTERN blades have replaceable high-carbon
steel cutting edges bolted to the bottom. Straight

be replaced when worn to the bottom edge of
the blade. MVP PLUS™ cutting edges should
be replaced when they are worn within 1" of the

manual.)

over a base primer coat that resists cracking,
