CUTTING EDGE WITH TRAILING WEAR PLATE

摘要

A edge for attaching to a moldboard, having a rearwardly protruding trailing wear plate is disclosed. This device can be manufactured as one piece incorporating the standard edge and additional trailing wear plate or can be in the form of a bolt-on trailing wear plate that would become a component of a standard moldboard edge. The edge is applicable to motor graders, snowploughs or any other machine or attachment that performs similar functions. The trailing wear plate prolongs edge life, reduces grader bounce, enhances grader stability, reduces operator fatigue, allows greater moldboard control, enables greater grading speed and when these factors are combined offer substantial increased efficiency.
