Whats your most workable, and most productive combination of doubles that doesnt leave mounds of grass and picks up leaves very well?
Good post I was wondering the same thing. Right now I use the origonal high lifts the mulch blades that came with my Metro HP but after yesterday I noticed a few stringers only on one pass though. They have not left but one small clump in some real thick grass (going to fast)but they don't do much but push the leaves.
Reverse gator (like J-Thomas has) over a reguler lift blade. Double high lifts are good for striping but I do not like them because they suck a LOT of power and really slow you down in tall/wet grass unless you have a lot of power for your deck.The Gator/Regular combo works well for me, the 17hp/52" is enough power, yesterday I mowed real tall sopping wet grass with it no problem at about 4.5mph. If it's dry I can go about full speed in most conditions. I am sure double high lifts are good in other conditions than mine, and with more power. But my all around favorite is gator over regular.
Gator over regular lift. With no anti-blowout baffle on my Surfer the high lift under gator is too much. BTW what is an einstein blade? First I've heard of them.
Einstein and Raptor blades are like a reverse Gator (wings point out not in like on a genuine Gator) as sold in J-thomas. They are maybe alittle different, not sure, but perhaps the biggest difference is just that they are sold by different companies.
Oh, gotcha' I have some Raptors and didn't really like them as much as Gators; they didn't seem to mulch as well or discharge as well. Who sells the Einsteins?
Rotary and PrimeLine sell these types of blades, but I don't remember which ones sell which. I think PrimeLine sells Razorback blades which are also another name for these things.
