How do you detect when mower blades need sharpening ?

Always keeping the blades sharp saves you time and money.

You ever notice there are times you have to cut a yard twice or go slow ?

Take the 15 mins a week and sharping the blades. You can mow faster and less wear and tear in the engine and deck spindle bearings.

I think if your seeing a change like that during the day it's probably the deck plugging up, not the blades going dull. Sharpening blades daily is a thing of the past with the blades they are making today. Manufactures are making blades now that you don't have to sharpen as frequently. Blades like the Gator Blades are made a lot more heavy duty than OEM blades are, the cutting edge they use are made using a electrofusion process that welds tungsten carbide into the blade, reduces the frequency of blade sharpening and lengthens blade life. You can believe that the blades sold at and on your BBS mowers are about as cheap as they come.

I know! When I used the Honda commercially I searched for them came out empty handed. A gator blade on a Honda would be incredible

Oregon makes the Gator blades for the Honda mowers, you can get them any number of places.
