I’m not sure how many hours on these blades, maybe 300 to 400. The left blade of the three was worn the most, I’m not sure why?

I tend to cut close to objects with the left side of the deck, and that's the blade that I occasionally hit stuff with.

If you are right handed you probably turn right the most, making a longer turning radius for the left side. Fact or fiction, I don’t really know but it does add up

I'm right handed but turn mostly left 🤔

Too much NASCAR in my youth?

Discharge is on the right turning left avoids blowing the cuttings into the next path. I'm sure that will get me a lot of corrections, but that is my method :cool:

There is only one correct way; getter done.
Which way I turn my ZTR depends upon wind direction.
Dodge man, I don't need a mulcher or bagger. I use Gator Blades, they chop up everything small enough it disappears quickly, kinda spendy though @ $60 for a set of three blades, but they do last 4-5 years.

Good reminder @dodge man

My rear finish mower has been leaving a less than perfect cut in some conditions it should have no problem with. Need to crawl under there and check out the blades.

You got a mower on the excavator now?
