Keep me updated on what you think of the performance of the Gator. Like I said, the hi-lift blade is better than the 3in1 (at least for my grass) but I intend to try the gator blator next spring as from what I read, it should perform better still. I did not like the 3in1 as it beat too much water out of the grass both with and w/o the mulch plug. I prefer not to use the mulch plug, but will try both ways with the Gator next year. I think the hi-lift was a marketing name only (as only the tip had a wing) , where the Gator has a bigger wing over the full blade for greator lift. I also have the chute raised about 2 inches at the tip, but not so much as to defeat its function of deflecting any thrown pebbles. Just reciently here in the news a car window was shattered from an incident like that where there was no chute deflector. It now throws the grass out 10 feet or so instead of dumping it out only 2 or 3 feet.

Will do Charlie. I am anxious for them to get here and try them out. I have never been impressed with the job these blades have done since day 1. I use the mulch plug, as I have white stone surrounding 8 trees in my front/side yards, and have to try to keep them clean.
