Another Gator Blade Question....

[onelegjohn]

Gator Blades. What are they for? How do they work? Do they actually work? And are they worth the extra money?

They reduce the size of clippings by re-cutting them using sharp edges on the sail of the blade. Yes they work and yes they are worth the extra money.

Answer is yes and no. The problem with them is they dont have enough suction or lift to cut very well. Also I didnt notice any real mulching ability to them on an open discharge.

My opinion is they are not worth a hoot. I don't think they really chop stuff up more, and I think the air flow is inferior causing poor discharge with more clumps and windrows. But whatever works, to each his own.

That is exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks.

They are useful as the top blade in running doubles to limit excessive blowout.
