The stuff I was in was very thick, emerald green grass. Imagine super thick lawn with tight clumps heavily fertilized by the animals! These spots were just so heavy and lush I had to mostly come to a stop and go at a crawl.Interesting, maybe it's more the mower itself rather than the type of blades? I mow some pretty high, thick, grass/weeds which only get cut once a year and haven't experienced any belt slipping yet, but I do run fairly slow down to allow it to clear all the material. It runs three belts which are self adjusting.
Wirlybird looking forward to pics and your impressions of the new mower, and how it compares to your other two.
