lawn mower blade problem

[JDgreen227]

Why on earth would you replace a blade that looks like new? A quick touch up on the edge and it would be ready for mowing. Heck they arent even dull enough to require sharpening yet. At over $20 per blade for my mower (x3) I use it till it wears out the lift tabs.

Gary....please read my entire post...it says I had a terrible issue with windrowing and lots of uncut grass ejected from the discharge chute of my deck using the OEM blades...because my 4210 has smaller tires than the bigger 4310-4410 series my deck is limited to a maximum cutting height of 3 3/4" while the bigger tractors can get a maximum cut height of 6". With the OEM blades shown, even when cutting at the maximum height and going slowly the grass clippings would not be chopped up and no matter how many times I would run the mower over the clippings I wasted HOURS after every mowing raking clippings. With the Gator blades I can run the tractor at a faster ground speed and cut the grass down to 2 1/4" and the clippings are so pulverized I almost never have to rake.

well I dont care about clippings, I just want blades that will last more than 25 hours.
