mmm blades

[Kevin Peterson]

I just purchased a new set of blades for my rc72-38, and they are nothing like the set that came with the mower from the factory.
I asked my Kubota dealer if these were genuine Kubota blades and they assured me that they were. The new blades are not straight, and after sharpening the original blades I have found they are not as hard either.
They dont even look the same. the new blades are straight from tip to tip. the original blades flare out where the sharp edge is.
Does anyone have any insight on factory blades versus the onew purchased from the dealer?

Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Part # for the blades is [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]70000-25002. Is that the part # you got?

How do they cut? That's all I'd be concerned with. If they don't cut as well, then there is a problem.

Yea the part number I purchased is 70000-25002, and they don't cut good.
