any real advantage to using these blades-dealer says cuts finer and won't build up so much under deck. Is this true or is he just trying to sell me more expensive blades----jd245:confused2:
Mulching blades do work great... as to more expensive. They are not, IF you know your blade dimensions, you can go on-line and find quality hardened replacement blades for LESS than OEM.
I switched my 72" ZTR to gator mulching blades, they are fantastic. KennyV
I have found it to be true that they don't build up as much grass under the deck. I don't know about the blades being more expensive though. I agree to going online to find some that are comparable in price to the others.
Ditto on the OEM spec oregon blades from bailey's. Bought a couple sets so I could have a sharpened set always ready to swap out. Next time I place an order I'm going to try the tungsten tipped fusion blades.
