Anyone buy grader blades that came from Canada? Last two sets I purchased (6'x6"x9"x3/4") have been junk and came from Canada. Less than half the life of purchases from even last year, from the same source. I'm suspecting cheap Chinese manufacturing. Not sure though. Stamped with a Canadian maple leaf. Anyone else experience this?
A sad day with many trying to get more of our money with no regard for quality of product. I guess if you are going a business that stocks the part you can refuse those stamped with the maple leaf. With so much business currently being order the part in, many times we get what they order.
Forty years ago with imported steel tillage parts we learned some countries steel was better than others. Cannot remember any more if Brazilian or South African was one of the better ones in my conditions. I needed disc blade to handle shock load not abrasion. All before any trade with Chine.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
