Bush Hog Blade Sharpening

A quick, none instructional video on sharpening a bush hog blade on the Burr King 760 with sharpening attachment. This video was edited for time, who wants to watch a video of someone grinding for 4 minutes. Yes just 4 minutes to achieve the near perfect edge. We currently have on group of businesses that purchased this machine to sharpen the Bush hog blades prior to the initial install. Their studies showed that if they start with a sharp blade, they will be able to cut at a high travel rate on the tractor, saving them time and money. By using a belt the blade only heated up to 150 degrees. In now way has the metal been compromised. Questions, drop us a line at jkrier@burrking.com.

Well just so you know, balance is important, we always weld back any chunks of missing metal on the cutting side, then sharpen it.

I'm not sure if its right or not, but what I do with my bush hog blades is balance them either by using a scale or even a simple balance scale that I create with the two blades.

@brian93ist That is what I will have to do probably once I get the money and time. The bush hog does come in handy around where I live.

I like the video of sharpening the blade. The problem for me is finding a breaker bar, and socket to remove the blade. I tried sharpening the blade on the bush hog, but didn't get very much of the blade sharpened due to the sparks coming from that hand held grinder onto me. Thanks so much for showing us how to do this.
