Blade sharpening system for agricultural implements

摘要

A blade sharpening system is provided that includes a base, and a pivoting member rotatably coupled to the base by a shaft. The blade sharpening system also includes a sharpener coupled to the pivoting member and configured to engage a generally circular blade of an agricultural implement while the generally circular blade is mounted on the agricultural implement. The pivoting member is configured to enable movement of the sharpener to accommodate lateral variations in a profile of the generally circular blade, and the shaft is movable relative to the pivoting member to adjust a contact force between the sharpener and the generally circular blade.
