It's been wet here and the grass has been growing fast. and thick.... when I cut it, it seems to leave more grass clipping than I remember it leaving before (even considering the thick grass)..... I end up running across the yard several times but it doesn't really seem to chop the clippings the way I think it should. My ground speed is fairly slow, the RPM's are almost at max... Do I need new blades, or is this grass just too thick? Are the "Gator" blades worth the additional money? Is one type of blade better than another?
I've never seen a blade that couldn't be sharpened..... Don't let someone who sells blades fool you.
