Do This BEFORE Using NEW Mulching Blades

I forgot to mention, a sharp mulching blade is also better for your gearbox and driveshafts etc! 👍

You did not mention about balancing the blade after sharpening which I presume should be done same as when you sharpen a push mower or lawntractor blade.

[@RJLmachinery]

Its hard to balance these as they are not symmetrical. There is a little cut out on one side of the mounting hole which will obviously hinder the results. Buy yes you can try and balance these as best you can. Not quite as important as a mower blade but you certainly wouldnt want these miles out of balance.

I tried one of these and it shook really badly, even though I checked the balance before

[@RJLmachinery]

Was it on centrally? sometimes they can slightly move when doing the nut up which will make them shake badly. What strimmer was it on?

remove the shaft from the machine let it spin freely without connection to the clutch. see if the blade settles down on same position ach time and with how much weight. This will be an indication that something wrong with your blade balance. usually its just the blade not being on center.
