What have you done to your Branson today?

My new blades...

They have 3 mows on them now, around 30 acres. They still have most of the paint left on them. Sigh. Probably going to order another set. Last set lasted 8 years.

Oh, and here's my new front chain guard...

Yeah, it's coming off.

Yup. That's why people over here stopped bothering with blades and went with chains like 40+ years ago. These days, unless they're strictly mowing pastures, they just stick to the chains.

I like the chain guard. Nice and tight between each section. IMO, it's about the only guard that actually works and lasts. I've seen some mowers with those sections so spaced apart that might as well just not have any guards.
