Crucial safety checklist: checking blade thickness, bolt torque (10.9 grade bolts), and replacing blades in balanced pairs.
Running severely worn blades forces the tractor engine to work harder, consuming 15% more diesel while delivering poor soil pulverization. Replace blades when their cutting width has eroded by more than 35%. Always replace blades in diametrically opposed pairs to preserve rotor balance, and use genuine 10.9 grade high-tensile fasteners torqued to specified limits.
