Following up on this....a month after applying the Scotts pet patch repair ( and sprinkler on some of their general patch repair to make it go further) and in my tests it's worked fantastically . Here's a before/after Before After

we actually let them out from a door that is on a deck w/ 2 open sides to have 2 30' lines that come right to the door so we probably could just block one side or something

thats a great point too! in this area we do have a walk way but i almost never use the ice melt or anything since the dogs walk in that area so didnt want it messing with their paws. there as a little bit i've used a couple of times but pretty rare but good to keep in mind for sure! i may...

yup for sure! keeping those Rotary ones as a backup option! thanks for the reminder!

cool yup that all makes sense! thanks everyone for sticking with my probably over analyzing and obsessing about this haha actually these are a tiny bit (about 1/16th) longer than the stock toro blades in my measurements or at the very least the same. I see what you mean about the toro part #'s...

thats just the sticker on the new g3's......the stock toro blades are not in any of those pictures. just wanted to post those to get an idea how the g3's fit in there (gap between the 2 when they pass in the middle and how the bottom of the blades hits on the bottom of the deck (oregon...

thanks everyone for their help here! so the healthy grass actually does grow strong around the dead spots but here in Wisconsin we're sloooooow getting into spring this year so still in the 30s/40's for temps so its just now starting to grow on us. we'd prefer to not go the additive route...

thanks everyone! good to remember on using the right blade/tool for the right situation so i was hoping to have a mulching blade along w/ the stock high lift ones to alternate if needed. as for hitting things, the only things i would really ever run into in my yard is small sticks (we pick...

good point there! so local store here has what looks like those G3's in stock so i may get a specific measurement of my stock blades tomorrow and go check them out to see if they match up in length or not. that offset is my only concern but i could bring them home to see how they look in...

good to keep in mind! so for Oregon i put in the stock blade part # and nothing showed up but when i put in the model of the mower the G6 showed up (only one Oregon said they show compatible...mentioned that they are behind on updating w/ newer models). i did notice the slightly larger length...

thanks so much for all the great info here! i knew a lot went into the dynamics w/ the deck/blades which i wouldnt even try to pretend to know a sliver of so thats my hope to find the smart people here :) On the timecutter g3/g5, would you happen to know if anyone w/ my specific 42" model was...

yup i'll have to try that next winter. thanks for the tip! i'm hoping some of it might come back this year if i leave it but given how it looks probably looking like only option is to reseed that whole area , hey?

yup definitely smart thing to watch! so at least on the spec sheet, the g6 that i had and that g3 from the link above are identical on length (21-9/16) and the only thing different was the offset which is the part that would worry me that it would dip down too far and shoot the grass out of...

thank you for taking the time on this! appreciate the help! i ended up sending the g6 back today.....brand new mower i dont want to be worried about extra wear on it that isnt needed. I agree, not a lot of options for mine out there from what i see....i did find Oregon has a g3 which is...

i was looking what Oregon has for G3/5 for my model but they dont list anything. I did find G3 at the same 21-9/16th length and 5/8 center hole but the offset is 5/8 vs 5/16 which Oregon cautioned me against. think that difference is worth worrying about?
