Great! I would have had to fab something up or get the OEM mulching kit. I'll let everyone know how they work soon as I mow.

Well my review of the G6 Gator Blades on my Bx2230D is this:
Mulching Effect: I don't think they do any better at mulching the grass than the OEM blades... Conditions were very dry when I mowed. :confused3:
Grass Lifting: MUCH better than the OEM blades! No more tire tracks with uncut grass. :thumbsup:
Cutting: Since I had recently sharpened my OEM blades, in comparision I can say the new Gators were just as good. :laughing:
Cutting while turning sharply: MUCH better! Again, the Hi-lift blades stand the grass up so much better. :thumbsup:
Noise: I did not hear any difference in blade noise. Also no loss of power as some have noticed. I ran the BX at full power and mowed in lo-range as I always do due to a rough yard.
The final verdict was given by the wife. She commented the yard had never looked so evenly cut. I had not even told her I put new blades on!
So overall I am happy with the purchase of these blades.

yeah - I've been told the same thing too. BUT - I use the P/W on my tractor as well as my pickups and Harley. In my opinion, it's completely safe IF you don't go spraying into bearings, electrical components, etc. I only use it to clean under fenders, wheels & tires, etc. Never had a problem in 20 years of doing it that way.
Now - I certainly don't use it under the hood of my tractor nor pickups. They occasionally get wiped down, but never see water.

Just Google Gator Blades. You can get them direct from Oregon or anyplace that sells Oregon parts. I ordered mine from Mowpart.com part # 96-612ORE. That is for three blades. $56.55 plus $9.95 for shipping
