Eastern Washington State
Can confirm, works awesome. Use hard surfacing powder and a torch. Put about a 3/4"-1" wide band on the back side of the leading edge of the blade, see the first pic.

Easily doubles the life of the blades and they cut SOOOOO much better. They self-sharpen to a razor edge. I saw a noticeable decrease in fuel usage. Second pic is blades after about 4,000 acres of stubble.
