  • Publication number: 20170191236
    Abstract: A plow blade includes a plurality of plow blade sections. In one arrangement, each plow blade section includes a steel cover plate welded to a front side of the plow blade section body. Each plow blade section further includes a plow blade edge extending along a bottom edge of the steel cover plate. At least one cut-out forms an indentation extending across at least a portion of the steel cover plate. A plurality of wear bars can be mounted to a rear side of the plurality of plow blade sections. Each wear bar can include a weldment of carbide matrix along a bottom edge of the wear bar. Each cut-out extends across the steel cover plate to a top edge of a wear surface of the wear bar such that the carbide matrix is consumed as the plow blade edge retreats to the blade wear indicator.
