    I was sharpening my blade wrong thanks! I was doing one sharpen pass on the backside. Cuts much better without doing that. I lift my discharge chute a bit to allow easier discharge. Thoughts? (I never lift discharge if near road, windows or people). I dislike the pileup when it is so low.

    I sure do like that grasshopper... Over here in Clay county, I'm mowing some very sandy areas and go thru blades like crazy. I noticed years ago that the less "lift" the blades have, the longer they last. I haven't noticed a difference in the "peace sign stalks" being cut better or worse with lift blades. Blade sharpness is what seems to matter the most with them, so I get the flatest, less lift blades I can find now, and keep them sharp.

    Very interesting test and very interesting results as well! I’m like you with the results, totally opposite of what I thought. How does that new mower ride compared to a conventional zero turn? I’ve owned two zero turns, but they ride so rough they make me almost throw up. Even had a Dixie Chopper with the springer forks an it had a better ride, but I still had the same problem.

    • @TKCL
      @TKCL  9 місяців тому

      Absolutely no comparison on ride this is buttery smooth. I've owned two other commercial zero turns and they beat us to death. I can't even begin to explain how enjoyable this grasshopper is to drive. I'd highly recommend you take a test drive at a dealer.

At the moment, I still love the contour blades. But I need to run today's full test to know if I am going to prefer another type. Stay tuned!

    Most perplexing thing to me is why the high lifts arent cutting at the tips of the blades. Is the actual length (diameter) of the countour vs high lift the same. If they had to shorten the blade so the high lift didnt crash into the mower deck at minimum setting. That crown is definitely due to fluid dynamic issues. Gap between blade or the lift wings causing super strange swirl. I'd call the Redbull F1 team. They seem to have aero figured out pretty well and just came into some extra cash.
