Maintain Consistent Road Edges While Reducing Blade Changes

Are you struggling with grader blades that don’t hold their edge in high-impact conditions?

Running a county road department means balancing tight budgets with the need for durable equipment that can handle the toughest conditions. When cheap grader blades quickly lose their edge pattern, you’re forced into frequent blade changes that waste time and resources.

The Winter Equipment Difference

At Winter Equipment, we understand the pressure you face to maintain quality roads while keeping costs down. That’s why our Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades are specifically designed for high-impact environments where maintaining a consistent edge matters. 

Superior Performance in Tough Conditions

Our Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades provide:

  • Uniform hardness throughout for consistent wear patterns
  • Superior resistance to breakage in high-impact conditions
  • Extended blade life – significantly longer than standard carbon blades
  • Optimal material flow with the curved design for better penetration and rolling action
  • Maintained straight edge without “crowning” for precision grading

Ideal Applications

  • Road maintenance in rocky or unpredictable terrain
  • Hard-packed surfaces requiring consistent cutting performance
  • Long-duration grading projects where minimizing blade changes is critical
  • Finish grading operations requiring precision and smooth surfaces

What You’ll Gain

With Winter Equipment’s Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades, you’ll:

  • Operate confidently even in high-impact conditions
  • Reduce breakage with blades warranted against breakage during their usable life
  • Maintain a consistent edge for significantly longer periods
  • Stay on budget with economical blades that reduce replacement frequency

Don’t Let Inferior Blades Hold You Back

Without the right equipment, you’re facing:

  • Frequent breakages in high-impact environments
  • Constant blade changes due to premature edge wearing
  • Stressful budget constraints from excessive replacement costs
  • Inconsistent road quality from blades that develop a crowned edge pattern

Common Questions About Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades

“What makes through hardened blades different from standard high carbon blades?”
Unlike high carbon blades that are often only surface-hardened, our through hardened blades are heat-treated throughout the entire thickness to achieve uniform hardness (44-52 HRC). This creates consistent wear patterns as the blade wears down, preventing uneven edge development.

“How much longer do through hardened blades last compared to standard blades?”
Through hardened blades typically last 1.5-2 times longer than comparable high carbon blades in abrasive conditions, significantly reducing the frequency of blade changes and associated downtime.

“Are through hardened blades worth the higher initial cost?”
Yes. While through hardened blades cost about 20-30% more upfront, their significantly longer service life and reduced downtime for replacements make them more economical in the long run, especially for operations where equipment downtime is particularly costly.

“What applications are through hardened curved blades best suited for?”
These blades excel in highly abrasive materials, finish grading operations requiring precision, long-duration grading tasks, hard-packed materials, and applications requiring consistent blade geometry for predictable performance.

“What bolt pattern do these blades use?”
Our blades come with the standard AASHO-modified punched pattern with 11/16th or 13/16th square countersunk holes on 6″ centers, making them compatible with most modern grading equipment.

“How do these blades perform in hot weather operations?”
Through hardened blades maintain their properties better than surface-hardened alternatives in high-temperature environments, providing consistent performance regardless of weather conditions.

“Will these blades help with crowning issues?”
Yes. Unlike standard blades that develop an uneven wear pattern known as “crowning,” our through hardened curved blades maintain a straight, clean cutting edge throughout their life, ensuring consistent grading results.

Our Guarantee

Our products are backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee that means we will work with you to make it right. With over 35 years of experience working with government agencies, we know how to make the purchasing process simple.

BEFORE: Using Standard Blades

  • Constantly requesting additional budget for replacements
  • Receiving complaints about uneven road surfaces
  • Stressing over rocky terrain encounters
  • Planning work schedules around frequent blade changes
  • Struggling to meet project deadlines
  • Managing operator frustration with poor performance

AFTER: Using Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades

  • Completing more road miles between blade changes
  • Creating accurate budget forecasts with predictable maintenance
  • Receiving compliments on consistent road quality
  • Confidently tackling high-impact areas without worrying about breakage
  • Planning maintenance on your schedule, not when blades fail
  • Building operator confidence with reliable equipment performance

Ready to reduce blade changes and operate confidently in high-impact conditions?

Every day you continue using inferior blades means more downtime and more stress on your team. Join the road departments that have already discovered the difference that proper equipment makes with our satisfaction-guaranteed Through Hardened Curved Grader Blades.
