Re: \"Do it all\" rotary cutter...
DarrylG, I like my finish mower, but for what they cost, I've thought sometimes maybe I should have just used the brush hog (rotary cutter). I did sharpen the blades on the last one I had considerably sharper than the original. The only problem with doing that is the fact that the sharper (or thinner) edge will get nicked or dinged (are those good words?) a lot faster, so I sharpened them frequently and even replaced them once (in only 4 years) because I had ground off better than a half pound of steel from each blade.
