That time of the year - Take the MMM off

Um, ahem, is it an optical illusion or are those blades wrong side down??
I use a stainless brush on my angle grinder to get the bottom of my deck squeakey clean and smooth in less than 5 minutes, then paint.

it also appears that way to me.. The shiny edge (what I am assuming is the sharpened side) certainly isnt going to throw grass out the the chute..

Great job on the deck maintenance. But unless there is an optical illusion you will need to flip those blades before you use them.

Blades have been flipped since the picture was taken. Buddy came over and corrected me.

Too tired that day I guess.

I think this would be much easier than my way.

Is there a reason you used stainless steel brush on the angle grinder? Just wondering.

Good catch on the backward blades guys!!!! Sharp eyes.

because it's very F A S T. But why? Not sure I understand the question, I've always had a thin layer of hard material left on the surface that no amount of power washing (mine's only 1200 psi) or scraping would remove. When shopping for steel brushes I noticed those that were rated at high enough rpms and made for angle grinder use. I figure that 14000 rpms might get something done. And it was quick and easy and my deck has never looked better underneath.

Ain't them pallet forks just about the best money you spent? I love mine!

I gave $500 for these and WOW - biggest functional upgrade I have added
to the tractor since owning it. I moved a ton of items from the shop to the garage so I could store more wood. Attached the forks, got a solid top pallet out and loaded it down. Made short work of moving the items. If you boys/gals dont have a set of forks, look into getting some - they are Very Handy!!

Bloody good thing that's not as unforgiving as running a completed cabinet door through a planer.
