Seen a agriknives stand at the ploughing in Stradbally, but not a knife to be seen, just wooden posts
I stopped bringing the machine to the ploughing as too many people looking at it and asking what it is for , I sold 4 machines at the ploughing this year to contractors who now know that our machine can’t be beaten at sharpening knives,

Kuhn just tell the operator to clamp the knife in a vice and give it a rub with a grinder 🙄

Even the manufacturers have given up waiting for a response from Jimmy 🤣

The machine manufactures don’t want to sell a sharpening that makes knives last 5-6 times longer than using the grinder, they sell a lot more knives when they are sharpened wrong.
Going by most of the comments on this thread, you don't want to sell sharpening grinders either 🤦‍♂️

This thread is bizarre, Blatantly ignoring potential customers. As someone else said, Imagine the after sale service, Must be too much money in cheap stakes.
Like most people I just use a grinder flap disc to clean up and keep the edges as sharp as possible on a baler. And if they need it I have no problem carefully grinding out the gouges on the other side of the knife if they need it. Don't overdo it and it works fine for me.

I bought a goweil sharpener last year. After alittle bit of setup. It works great and is way way faster then sharpening with a grinder and keeps the angle perfectly. Should have bought one years ago.
