Circular ground engaging blade with wear resistant coating

Abstract

An agricultural ground engaging blade with a wear resistant coating having a generally circular plate with a first side and a second side and an outer periphery disposed around an outer diameter of the plate. One or more bands of wear resistant coating are applied at or near the outer periphery in a pattern that is configured to reduce wear caused by a particular soil type. Bands of wear resistant coating are applied in an X pattern to the outer periphery to prevent wear in sandy soil. Generally circular concentric bands of wear resistant coating varying in distance apart from each other are applied to the outer periphery to prevent wear in rocky soil. Generally sinusoidal concentric bands of wear resistant coating are applied to the outer periphery to prevent wear in black or sticky soil.
