If you’ve run vertical tillage equipment, you know the blades take a beating breaking up residue and creating that perfect seedbed. This samurai blade is specifically designed for Sunflower vertical till units and replaces part SN16845. The 24-wave serrated edge cuts through tough crop residue like a hot knife through butter, while the shallow concavity moves soil just the way you need it for that ideal finish.
What You’re Getting
- 24 wave serrated edge that stays sharp longer and cuts through residue better than straight edges
- Shallow 1-3/4 inch concavity designed specifically for vertical tillage—not too deep, not too flat
- 22-inch diameter gives you the right ground speed and soil penetration for vertical till work
- Heavy-duty 3/16 inch thickness handles rocks and tough conditions without breaking
- 1-3/4 inch round axle hole fits standard vertical till equipment
Built for Real Farm Work
This blade is engineered for vertical tillage operations where you’re sizing residue, mixing nutrients, and creating a smooth seedbed without inverting soil layers. It’s the kind of blade that works whether you’re following corn or soybeans, handling wet springs or dry falls, and dealing with everything from light residue to heavy corn stalks.
Made to Last
Made from boron 15B26 steel with a hardness rating of 46-52 on the Rockwell scale—tough enough to hold an edge through hundreds of acres but not so hard it shatters when you hit that inevitable field stone. The samurai edge design means it stays effective longer than smooth blades because those waves keep cutting even as the blade wears.
Good to Know
This is a direct replacement for SN16845, so it’ll bolt right on without any modifications. The shallow concavity is key here—deeper concavity would create too much soil inversion for vertical tillage work. Keep a few spares on hand because nothing stops field work faster than a broken blade when conditions are just right.
