I have a new fisher plow and was told to leave the cutting edge off to wear down the trip edge at least a half inch before putting on the cutting edge. any comments / suggestions?

Isnt the cutting edge and trip edge the same thing?

edge

most i have seen you wear down the backer bar a certain amount then bolt a cutting edge on .

I'm also fairly new to this game, but I don't see how it could be any benefit to allow your expensive trip edge to wear down before adding a replaceable cutting edge. I've put some serious wear on my brand new cutting edge in two storms while plowing for the town. I wouldn't want to wear away the more expensive parts of the plow that quickly.

I would say that if you are working for the town it wouldnt really matter. I have always used a new plow for a season before installing an edge I guess it scrapes better. If I was plowing roads I would install an edge right away.

Mybe he meant to leave off the wear pads, This would allow the cutting edge to get a proper angle ground into it.
