    Okay, this is going to be weird. Rear-engine goes too fast.

    Back on modifications - was a Kansas banker in the '70s who raced SCCA - his mechanic modified his mower so that it would literally hit 50mph. Unfortunately he didn't mention it to the banker - first time he tried to mow the lawn, the banker took out his wife's rose bushes.

    Switching to longer blades?

    No offense meant to anyone but saying " 3 blades X long means a cutting width of 3X" is not accurate when the blades are offset like in a mower deck. That said, using a Deere Z535M I have tried multiple blade brands, mowed at less than walking speed, mow only dry grass, checked blade-to-blade...
