I'm confused..should I sharpen my blades or not...

[KirbysLawn]

I decided to look at my blades and see if mine need sharpening. Since I was not sure I figured I would post a few photos and see if you guys think it's time I sharpen my blades.

What ya think???:confused: What should I do??

Can you say "Blunt force trauma"? :D

With all the curves, I cant imagine why you wouldn't want to sharpen every day.:) I like straight, flat blades and my R.B.G

Ray, interesting what you've done with the lift, is that for aerodynamic reasons? Also try moving blade 3 to blade 1's position and these should last you another year or so.

To answer, your question about sharpening....thats what the sand you cutting is for.

I would think they are ok.........;)
But...........
turn em over and they would cut even better...........:D

I'm thinking that since these things seem to knife-edge on the rear and dull in the front, if somebody would design a reversible blade. . . we could just turn 'em over every day or two!

When those lift tabs finally break off the should exit the side discharge at an incredible rate, enough to down a duck or goose anyways! Watch out kiddies:blob1: :blob4:

Those are compressed photos and quality is lost, you wouldn't want me to post the uncompressed versions, that would be unfair to the dial-up folks. :eek:

Mr. Jones is correct, these babies are sharp on the back side. My dealer had these at the shop today while they are mounting my hitch, I figured everyone would enjoy them. The large blade is from a "Pro's" mower. :eek: :confused:

I would like to see a set of eric blades, How about you guys?

[Eric ELM]

OK, here you go. :)

This is what I use for mulching leaves. I use a Gator which throws leaves in and a set of mulchers which throws them out. On top of all of this is a Magic Mulcher setup which swings chains up towards the top of the deck and helps pulverize leaves.
