Good quality mower blades

[MickeyDBC]

I have a Ferris 700 zero turn mower that we use on our ranch for general mowing around the house and buildings, road frontage, and to mow under 200 pecan trees that are in former cattle pastures. Mower is great but cutting a mix of heavy coastal and bahia grass really dulls the blades quickly (they go from nice and sharp to poor cutting over a weekend). Other than a few fire ant mounds, grass and small sticks are about all it hits. I have a set of factory blades and an extra set that I rotate but I would really like to get some that hold an edge better. Any suggestions?

Try a set of G6 gators from Oregon.

Oregon blades have been very good for us too and they can be found at good prices...

But, I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of mulching blades...

Thanks for the link - dalola. I just ordered a set of G5 for my JD X570. The G6 does not come in a size that will fit the X570.

Anyone tried the self-sharpening blades?
