My Exmark 48" Navigator deck after cutting everything from tall wet grass to wet nasty leaves. And the garage door at my shop was so hard to open and was so loud, so I sprayed the rollers, track, and hinges and it's so much quieter, smoother, and when you pick up on the door with very little force, it flies right up! Gotta love the stuff!
i can see your guys reasonings for not sharpening as much as me. it makes perfect sense. we cut 25-40 lawns per day depending on where they are and how big etc, per crew i might add.
this makes me wonder just how much FF i will have to use in order for it to be ultra effective at keeping the underside of the deck clean or at least much easier to clean if some buildup occurs.
i put some on my garage rails today at home, much better.
i wish i had waited to put it on the shrub trimmers though, made sharpening today a bisnitch!!

You might have to use a bit more for the more grass that you cut than me....it should still be worth it to you....but you might find out the cost isn't worth it for that app....try it out....you will see what works for ya! You might find that even giving them a good coating once a month will substantially reduce buildup. I am VERY curious to see your results though!
The garage rails is one of my new favorite apps, lol. I can see the hedge trimmers being a bi*ch to sharpen after ffing them though. You're getting a little overzealous there! hahaha:laugh:
yeah, i am gonna rack a hella big bill if i dont watch out, screw cocaine , i need FLUID FILM! that was a joke by the way.
i am gonna try it, and see what gives, you are spot on about cost vs usefulness. i will let everyone know, and it wont take long to know either i am sure. i hope this spring is wet vs our fall and winter. we are in the el nino dry spell again. could be bad if spring is dry too

Not to cause trouble... But I've tried FF under my mower deck, in the blower tube when it's wet out and things are clogging up. I frankly saw no change at all. At least no change that I could measure. It wasn't like one day it was clog city, then I cleaned everything, applied FF that evening and the next day (same wet as hell conditions) and everything was perfect. That never happened at all. I was still unclogging, mower deck was dumping piles when I'd kill the blades... I tried it a number of times. Frankly I felt like I was just wasting the product. It's rather pricey. I also treat my slow blowers, snow and ice still sticks.
It's just a film, an "oily" film that does wash off/wear off in a pretty short amount of time. If it DOES help the effects wear off quickly enough that I don't even notice if it actually helped or not.
I like the product, as a lubricant for some things (get your minds out of the gutter, lol) but it's not perfect... I still prefer to use the proper lube type for the application.
i found several things to actually help, WD-40 actually wasnt too bad for about a day, day and a half.
i tried a cheap graphite paint,(maybe my friend recommended slip plate brand would be better.) those tests where on wright standers and kubota ztrs. the toro deck is known to clog way less so i am already ahead!
