Kenya: three loaders on rotation, one cutting edge lasts twice as long.

Three 5 t loaders in the same yard handling sand and crushed stone, on similar hours.
Two need new cutting edges at 400 hours; the third is still serviceable at 800.
Operators are fixed, so is this habit or a batch of soft edges?

Check whether those two scrape the pile base; ground-level scooping wears an edge far faster.

Batch numbers are stamped on the edge. We once had a soft batch that lasted half as long in the same duty.

Fit all three from one batch and run a cycle: only then are the numbers comparable.
