getting ready to get new disc blades for the 2500 model bi fold disc. was thinking about notched discs on the front . it doesnt have them now and have been able to get along fine but thought the notched ones may cut better . looking to hear opinions and personal preferences... thanks Jb

If you disc up trashy fields go with the notched blades on the front.

Eldon is right, notched cuts trash much better. Tracy Martin

I go along with Shamless. If you do a lot of discing they will wear out a lot sooner.

And if you have rocks, they break easier. Engineering is usually always a compromise. To get one thing/feature, you sometimes have to give up something else.
