Mowing Rotary cutter with dual blades

[Rfisher42]

What is the reason/need for dual blades, looks like a munching setup. Has anyone done this and what was your reason for doing this. Are you happy with results?
Thanks for your commits.

sorry I cant remember where I just read, but when I did a search for "blades" I read where a guy did this and it helped his discharge of the clippings.

If you are thinking of the standard single gear box rotary mower it runs two blades that attach to a center disk or stump jumper. The blades will pivot where they attach to the stump jumper so if they hit an immovable object they swing out of the way rather than break the mower. If your thinking of something else we will need more details. I have never heard of a rotary mower that had a mulching setup.

I have a JD 609, the parts catalog list a option for dual blades or the normal single blade. In both cases these are connected to the main bar.

I have attached the John deer drawing giving the dual blade option.

Dual blades are called shredding attachment. They were mainly used yrs ago before all the no-til farming practices started for the chopping up of row crop stalks such as cotton,corn & milo. Back then the operators manual stated "not to use for pasture mowing" but the shredding attachment also had a stationary blade the bolted to the outside of the cutter housing.
