New Oregon Gator Blades

[BravoXray]

Installed a set of Oregon Gator blades on my BX. I also leveled the deck, it was 1/2" high on the right side, greased all the spindles, idler pulley, center pivot, gauge wheels, and checked the oil in the gearbox. It's good to go for the rest of the season, if we get enough rain to make the grass grow. After an unusually wet spring, it's been almost two weeks with no rain, and looks like it might be a couple more before we get any decent amount.

I run those blades on my ZTR and they have worked really, really well. Very stout.

I also put Oregon Gator blades on my 6' finish mower:

Agri Supply has the best prices on blades I've found.

Yeh nice! I got those gators on my bradley stander. Awesome blades year round other than early spring...they tend to make a mess of the clipping then. In the fall, they'll mulch leaves well enough w/o even having to block the chute.

I run them on my ZTR...great blades and they last a LONG time.

I am thinking of something that will help on my X738 mower and mulching blades might help my build up of clippings, I'd think. Are these resharpenable or require anything too funky to sharpen?

The leading (cutting) edge is a normal blade and can be sharpened like any other. The mulching fins (the trailing edge) don't get sharpened. These have a lot of uplift. If you have sandy soil, the mulching edge can get eroded fairly quickly. I've been using them for years. I like them for the uplift and leaf mulching. I have some reservations about how much they really mulch the grass, but I do like the blades.

They make different versions, I got the G5, for my mother who is a fanatic about grass clippings, she said they make a difference
