We like many others I am sure change blades very frequently on our Scags. The nut being on top with the bolt going through the shaft is a game changer for changing blades and has many advantages in my opinion over the ones that are threaded in from the bottom.

One hazard I have noticed that some might want to think about is changing blades using an impact wrench. If you use an impact wrench to change blades be aware that at times it can spin blades fast. If you work as a team it can be very easy for one person to be working underneath installing a blade while another starts tightening back up. This can be dangerous and could result in injury.

A blade spinning could amputate something.
