Whatever you feel like thread.

I might add that the Kubota F series diesel mower I have uses a 'normal' blade as in round mounting hole and Kubota uses a pair of Bellville washers to provide the clamping effort to the spindle with a specific torque value, in this case, 78 foot pounds. IMO, good engineering and a positive blade breakaway if you contact an object in the grass that could destroy a spindle or worse and the outboard spindles are running in grease and have Alemite fittings that are accessible without having to lift the deck at all as they are on the topside and there are cutouts provided in the top shield to easily access them. Only the center spindle runs in gear oil and has hypoid gearing.

Don't need no new thread either...lol

Something I'm not slightly interested in is a battery powered zero turn as I mow acreage anyway so no battery operated riding mower could last the entire time without going dead.

Is that a typo, or did you honestly come to a thread titled "ego zero steer mower review", just to tell everyone participating in it that you don't care about EV zero turn mowers?

I almost assume you must have misspoken, as that is a level of narcissism we don't often get to see, in regular life.

Lots of posters stop by to tell us how smart they are and dumb we are.

The Bad Boy electric looks promising but for the use of Greenworks components.

I'm going to go join a vegetarian forum, just to tell them I hate Lima beans.

No no no!

Lima beans are not Saving The Earth or Good For Your Body!

Are you aware of the environmental harm of growing lima beans? The amount of water required? The hydrocarbon based fertilizer? Child labor picking lima beans?

No telling what hazardous materials lima beans absorb from the soil! All kinds of bacteria live in the soil!

Much better one live off 100% pure and processed Sugar Frosted Flakes!

How big of an area are you mowing? What type of grass do you have?

I'm mowing bahia and bermuda grass, plus a variety of weeds. I'm mowing about two acres a week, but sometimes I don't have the time, and I might skip some areas.

I start off the year with last years blades because I'm mostly mowing weeds when Spring hits. Then I put a new set on in May that will last till July, then I'll finish off the year with those blades and use them for weeds in the Spring.

I buy two sets of blades every year.

3 blades, 61 inch cut, on a 26 HP Scag Wildcat zero turn.

The middle of the picture shows how much metal is worn away on an old blade by sitting on top of a brand new blade after a couple months of mowing.

My blades are similar on every mower I've used on our place. All sand under the grass. It takes a toll.

Sand would make sense, but my place is all red clay, with the exception of some iron ore in a few areas. I believe it's the stalks on the Bahia that cause the wear, they are very woody, and abrasive.
