I`ll let you knowThat looks like a tidy thing

You'll probably find that if you take the blades off, turn them upside down and put then back where they were, you'll have the new cutting edge and still be twisted the correct way.Hi ,sorry for late reply only just picked this message up ,Mine is cutting fine , the blades have arrows on them for direction of travel ,mine did have one blade on wrong when it came other 5 was ok there was a bag come with it with 6 spare blades so just swapped one ,when you buy new blades you have to get 2 boxes ,1 left hand 1 right hand because of the twist in the middle of them , they did tell me over the phone that the ones from the left dont fit on the right and same other way ,i asked why they have a cutting edge on both sides of the blade they said they dont now but you chuck them away when the leading edge is worn . Dont think that is right because if you turn blade over and put on the other drum because its going other way arrow is still pointing in the direction of travel and cutting edge is at the lowest point , i have swapped mine a couple of times now and no problems , the blades do last longer than the ones i put on my other mower which is a land-mec . I am very pleased with my mower .

Can I just check something with both of youYou'll probably find that if you take the blades off, turn them upside down and put then back where they were, you'll have the new cutting edge and still be twisted the correct way.
Like that on our kuhn anyway.
I always tickle them with the grinder to sharpen a few times then reverse them once they are getting a bit out of shape, since the tips always need more sharpening they end up getting rounded back. If you do this make sure to just tickle them gently so as not to overheat them as this will make them soft, if you see the steel change colour to blue / purple tinges then youve made them too hot and changed the steel to a softer grain structure.
Just flip them over, don't swap drums.Can I just check something with both of you
This picture on the left shows one blade with the arrow showing the direction of travel which is clockwise and the cutting edge is at the top. The picture in the middle shows the blade as it would be if turned over and put on the other drum( i.e. the same) where it goes anti-clock wise and the cutting edge is on the bottom. The picture on the right shows the blade if turned over and left on the same drum and the cutting edge is again at the top but underneath the arrow will be pointing the wrong way,

picture on the right is correct, turn it upside down and put back on same drum, doesn't matter that edge is underneath as long as the leading edge in the direction of blade travel is the lower.Can I just check something with both of you

Wondered why our Kuhn did a poor job when we bought it, checked the blades and on every disc the leading edge was the upper. Good professional workshop staff must be very hard to come by.picture on the right is correct, turn it upside down and put back on same drum, doesn't matter that edge is underneath as long as the leading edge in the direction of blade travel is the lower.
My old employer bought a lely hayzip, it did a reasonable job of kicking out the grass but the first time we used it to row up it was awful. The guy using it set it completely as the book said, we all checked it too but something wasn't right. I then looked closely at the two rotor cages which had stickers on them, in French, saying left and right. They were the wrong way round, so the dealer must have put it together incorrectly. We swapped them in the field and it was fine then. I think it was the one and only time I used any of the French I learnt at school!Wondered why our Kuhn did a poor job when we bought it, checked the blades and on every disc the leading edge was the upper.

Used, but still shiny, new to me MF 7618. Now I am off to read the instructions! SV1/SV2 etc takes some understanding
Not used to having something big in your hand are you Phil!!!!After over 20 years of reliable service and a lot work my poor old mig bit the dust yesterday . On the bright side I got this shiny new 3 phase 400A water cooled beast dropped off this afternoon . Managed to get the water cooler, trolley and 10m bridging lines a lot cheaper as they came off a hire machine but everything else new.
