Notched Blades vs. Plain Blades

LJS30 · May 15, 2011

What's the difference between these two types of blades in regards to their application?

Notched blades have two functions that I can think of right off. 1) Will turn trash under with out pushing it in front of the blades. 2) They will cut harder ground because of the smaller contact area.

Disadvantage of the notched blades is that they will wear faster because of the smaller contact area. Most of the people that are part timers will never wear out a new set of blades anyway. So unless you are disking a lot I would not worry about wear.

Put the notched up front to dig deeper and bury trash. The
others on the back to Finnish the till.

More effective in corn stalks- the stalks get grabbed by the little concave cutout, and get cut through. Also cut lighter, grassy trash better, same reason.

If I had a choice I would go with the notched blades. They seam to do a better job for me in thick grass. They do seam to wear a little faster. Stan
