Oz:
I have never heard of this company. The "mulching" blades is what I assume you are referencing. Looks similar the the Gator Blade design here in the States. I have run Gator brand blades on my deck for 10+ years now. They definitely chop up the fall leaves. Here is an Amazon link and review.... https://www.amazon.com/Rotary-11233-...ews/B00R54L2VK

I agree with Roland on the leaves,
If mowing/mulching is done when the leaves are dry, they disappear and turn into mulch over the winter season. Also: There is somewhat less lift in heavy/wet grass, and clippings are not thrown out of the discharge chute as far compared to regular mower blades. But shorter clippings are produced, so they seem to be less noticeable if the grass is heaver. Also my experience has been the mulching blades don't last quite as long, especially in sandy soil with sparse grass coverage, as the lift/mulching fingers wear quicker than the solid lift part, of regular cutting blades. My findings are on blades installed on a 50c on a 782, and 50A on a 1650 cub. IIRR, I have used rotary brand as well as Windsor & Stens. I prefer Windsor blades for my application, as the end finger it wider and lifts a tad better. But I'm sure different models of decks, have different mulching design blades. And as Roland stated, we tend to call them "Gator" blades but not always. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
