I use the stacked gator blades setup, I haven't tried any other combination yet.
Generates tremendous air flow! That you can hear. In the semi drought conditions here, no rain for a while, running doubles produce impressive dust clouds. Stripes well, with the increased volume of air present.
The stacked gator blades, [6] of them, are sharpened and then balanced using a Magna Matic blade balancer. Thats a lot of metal spinning, and I think all that weight needs to be balanced, to achieve maximum blade tip speed. When properly balanced, the spin down time for the blades after you disengage the clutch, is way longer. The engine handles the extra load, mulching tall grass well. I have the 52" deck with the 23hp Kawasaki, using a Qwikchute.
I am going to install the factory blow out kit for use with the Qwikchute to improve grass blow out.
The results, to me, are impressive. Cutting results on wet grass is improved. I am satisfied with the arrangement, but would like to hear more from other concerning their experiences running doubles on the Hustler.
