I have seen old buzz saw blade. The question is it possible to make a saw blade for a brush hog? What type metal? Best way to heat treat?

Thanks

I see, just looked it up, it's a pull behind slasher. Yes, those blades sure take a beating. Are the blades expensive? 

Pretty much anything trees (1-2 inches diameter) weeds mostly.

Marc1 it is a John Deere 1408. It is measured the entire width of the mower. It is a total 14 ft and 1 inch. 

I am not making a knife with the blades. I want to sharpen the blades and put a harden edge on the blades. It for a 14 ft mower. I am hoping to get the nicks out of the blade and get a nice cutting edge on it.

Hello everyone!

I am new to blacksmith work! I would like some information about cutting blades for tractor mowers (bush hogs). I want to know the best way to heat treat the blades for reuse?

Thanks for any assist!
