Western engineers the Western 81996 Cutting Edge to deliver superior scraping power across hard-packed winter ice. Additionally, this heavy-duty 90-inch steel wear component bolsters structural rigidity on matching 7.5-foot straight blade moldboards. Because abrasive winter clearing operations destroy standard base steel, commercial managers install this premium high-carbon replacement component regularly. Therefore, this robust scraping edge prevents costly frame damage over prolonged municipal snow dispatches.
This 5/8-inch thick high-carbon upgrade also reinforces the central moldboard section of 8-to-10-foot Wide-Out winged plows. Consequently, commercial operators eliminate slow secondary cleaning passes across frozen job sites completely. Furthermore, the precise factory slotted hole placements allow fast, clean bolting to your factory moldboard base structure. As a result, mechanics complete rapid seasonal edge changeovers without encountering custom installation delays.
