Specifically, the Western 44285-2 Cutting Edge provides a heavy-duty 1/2-inch thick upgrade for your 8-1/2 foot MVP Plus or MVP 3 v-plow. Western manufactures this high-carbon steel kit to withstand extreme winter abrasion. Furthermore, the Western 44285-2 Cutting Edge includes all four edge pieces and the essential mounting hardware set.
Consequently, you achieve a cleaner scrape on frozen pavement while protecting the base of your moldboard. Additionally, the increased thickness offers more surface area at the point of contact.
