Hey folks,
I just bought a '98 Wheel Horse 520H and got the parts to hook my Cyclone Rake leaf collector to it. (The old tractor pulling the rake just wasn't up to the task) I didn't pay attention to the mower blades that the previous owner had on it and when I bought it though. Some pretty aggressive mulching blades as it turns out. Didn't pull the matted leaves off of the ground very well at all. I need some high lift bagging blades. It rains enough where I live that the leaves I'm picking up are frequently wet and matted down in the grass by the time I get a dry weekend to pick them up.
Anybody have any input on the brand of blades they use for their WH? I haven't crawled under the mower deck yet . . . is there anything unique to Wheel Horse about the mower deck that would limit the kind of mount for the blades or will any standard blade fit?
(I haven't actually purchased new blades in a couple of decades so I'm not very up on them.)
Thanks in advance!
