Are there any issues with Gator Blades on a BX1500 with a 54" deck ?

[dex3361]

I have read about the Gator Blades and I wonder if they rob any of the power. I have a BX1500 and a 54" deck and it does good on the factory blades. Has anybody used them on the BX1500 with a 54" deck and if so what are your thoughts? Thanks

That BX1500 you own has power that has never been tapped! It's a monster in disguise as a "Baby Bota".

Hey John, the BX1500 has 160 plus hours and is running great. I do think it is still breaking in when I first got it I could not mow my whole yard in High because of a few steep banks(to steep for high range) but I changed the engine oil and the SUDT and I could not believe the difference it made. I switched to synthetic engine oil and I know the SUDT was a little milky looking(indicates moisture) and I didn't want to take a chance. Glad I didn't.
