When you’re working tough residue or breaking up compacted soil layers, you need a blade that cuts aggressively without plugging up on you. This 24-inch Samurai edge disc blade from Osmundson brings serious cutting action to your vertical tillage operation, slicing through tough corn stalks and matted residue into properly sized pieces instead of just rolling over them like worn-out blades do.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty Boron 15B26 steel that’s heat-treated to 46-52 Rockwell – hard enough to hold an edge through acres of tough tillage, but not so brittle it shatters when you hit that hidden field stone
- Samurai edge design creates aggressive cutting action that handles heavy residue and tough soil conditions
- Quarter-inch thickness provides the durability needed for long service life, while the 2.80-inch concavity creates aggressive soil-throwing action
- Combo hole design fits multiple axle configurations with proper spacing
Built for Vertical Tillage Work
This blade is specifically designed for vertical tillage applications where you need to size residue, fracture compacted layers, and create a smooth seedbed without inverting the soil. The unique combo axle setup (1-1/2 square by 1-3/4 round) gives you flexibility in mounting options for various vertical till machines. Whether you’re working cover crop residue, corn stalks, or prepping ground after harvest, this blade handles the job.
Made to Last
Osmundson doesn’t mess around with blade materials – no fancy coatings here, just quality steel that works. The Samurai edge pattern maintains its cutting ability longer than smooth edges, and the precise heat treatment ensures consistent performance across the blade face. You’ll get good service life if maintained properly – most blades are ready for replacement when they’ve lost 3-4 inches from the original 24-inch diameter.
Installation Notes
When replacing blades, never mix worn and new on the same gang – the diameter difference creates uneven cutting that leaves mohawk strips in your field. Check your blade spacing while the gang is apart, and consider coating blade edges with used oil during storage to prevent rust pitting that ruins cutting ability.
