To test durability, the B-TOEM blades were tested across rocks at 8 MPH with full down pressure.
B-TOEM blade has the same dimensions as an OEM blade; however the differences are impactful.
As these blades are used, thier doubled rolled beveled edges wear sharper and hold thier edge longer, retaining 20% more diameter on average than standard and competitor blades. The core of the B-TOEM blades is about 10% harder than other blades.
B-TOEM blades provide better blade to soil contact, as they do not roll over or break in rocky soils. These patented, heat treated blades have a heavy duty hub and are made of materials superior to those found in standard disc blades, giving them an improved and longer life.
This allows you to place seeds into harder soils, while maintaining flexibility to resist breakage in tough residue and rocky terrains.
B-TOEM has deep 3/4″ bevels, while other brands have 5/8″ bevels in the blades.
B-TOEM stays sharper longer. Being made out of a special high grade quality steel, the additional wear doesn’t effect the toughness of the blade. Other brands usually use 15B30 steel that can’t handle additional hardening. As the B-TOEM blade goes through wear, it is hardened on the outer edge about an inch into the blade.
This is important for two reasons:
- It handles the hardening better, lengthening the strength and sharpness of the blade.
- The whole blade is not hardened, just the edges. This allows the blade to continue being flexible avoiding breakage from rocks and foliage.
