I've never had a Gehl chopper, but have done FOX, JD and NH. Have always run the cutter in reverse and then alternate moving each side of the shear bar until you get a ticking. Then go opposite until it stops ticking.

I don't ever recall seeing a shear bar that was not reversible. Here is a reversible one for a Gehl in the Shoup catalog with 2 hardened edges: https://www.shoupparts.com/sh707tc-shear-bar/?srsltid=AfmBOopvajTsky...
