FAQ:

Q: Are mulching blades better than regular blades?

A: There are some drawbacks of using mulching blades as well. If your lawn is full of overgrown grasses, the regular blades are better because a mulching blade would block the lawnmower. The discharge rate is pretty low due to the curved angle. The grass clippings get discharged fully into the bag as they are lifted upward in terms of regular blades.

Q: Are Gator blades better than mulching blades?

A: Yes, they are better and although gator blades are similar to mulching blades, they’re specially designed with uniquely angled teeth that continually push the grass towards the sharp cutting edge to cut the grass into smaller pieces over and over again.

Q: What company makes the best mower blades?

A: gene gls. We build many blades with air lifts 1″ or higher. … MONTE. Just put a 1/2″ spacer on the spindle and run a flat blade! … mdvaden. Our division that builds the blades is in Kansas City MO. … Oregon OEP. … tinman Pennington Lawncare. … Oregon OEP. … RDA. … balreadysaid. … balreadysaid. …

Q: Do mulching blades really work?

A: Mulching blades are commonly known as the 3-in-1 blade, and these are very good in discharging, bagging and even mulching grass clippings. Before you start mowing the grass, we highly recommend that you gather general information first about the blades so that you don’t face any problems afterward.
