All,
My official second post!
I'm looking for a set of low-lift blades for my Land Pride FDR1660. It came with regular medium lift blades and after a few months of mowing, the blades resemble little blunt sticks of thin metal due to being sand blasted. I have very, very sandy soil on my place, and the low lift blades should allow me to cut grass...or weeds...without sucking up so much sand.
I checked with my local Land Pride dealer and they said I would have to special order the blades for $39.40 each... After I got over the shock ($40 for a mower blade???), I realized that Land Pride must make these things from titanium or some metal from space. That being the case, I rationalized that might not be a bad price.
Anyway, was wondering if any of you Land Pride owners used "non Land Pride" blades on your mowers (despite the dire warnings in the instruction manual), and if so, where did you get them from? Also, if anyone has ideas or actually knows why the Land Pride blades are so expensive, I'd appreciate being schooled.
Thanks!
