Anybody know what is the tuffest most bend resistant steel for a cutting edge? Im asking because my 6' Mahindra bucket has a 1/2 x 6" edge that is very tuff -it will flex a loong way and come back to shape. Whereas my experience with Woods buckets is that they have spaghetti edges and bend with suprisingly little provocation. I would like to buy some of the good stuff to upgrade my buckets as needed. Any experience with hard use out there?
Thanks, larry

I bought mine at the local heavy equipment dealer. Seems to be very tough compared to the Kubota OEM stuff. ( I did go from a 4" edge to 6" however )

Larry, PM rback33, I'm sure that Jeremy will get you the info on the Mahindra cutting edges so that you will be able to match.
