Rear Back Blades...

[heehaw]

youse guys are really tellin your age, i wonder how many that have read this, don't have a clue who your talking about??
why did you go with the rear discharge on the finish mower?
i have a wheel horse with a rear discharge, an it sure leaves a wind row behind...sometimes i end up taking an oldddddd 22inch cut snapper rider and runnin back over a small area right in front of the house to spread the wind row out..

I would highly recommend the Landpride blade. I have really abused mine and it just keeps on working.

heehaw, my rear discharge Bush Hog will do a little windrowing in tall grass all right, but not nearly the windrowing that my side discharge Cub Cadet used to do. And if I mow it when it ought to be mowed, you won't see any windrowing at all./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif That's one of the features I like about mine, but I'm not familiar with your Wheel Horse; the only Wheel Horse mower I've used was a side discharge.

And yep, I guess we're giving away our age; like you're giving away your location (since it ain't in your profile)./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Our daughters, who were 3 and 6 at the time, picked up that "youse guys" phrase the winter we spent in Illinois while I was attending the Traffic Institute at Northwestern University. Had to teach 'em before we got back to Texas that the correct wording is "ya'll"./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Not sure how old you have to be to remember ol' Lonesome George, but I seem to recall watching him and Perry Como on the same evening.

Always wondered why I never saw anybody else with the same haircut George wore, and I was curious as to what he'd look like in color. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

As for rear back blades -- I, uhhhh... have nothing to add. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Wow -- you're triggering some pretty old memories here. Are we talking about Crazy Googenheim -- the same guy who played the drunk on, I think, the Jackie Gleason Show, who always worked in a song (and yes, that boy could sing)?

heehaw,
There are couple of things I do to void the wind rows of grass.
I adjust the shield discharge about 45 degrees which feathers the cut grass,and if I still get wind rows I only take 2/3 of the mowing deck and lower traveling speed.
Not much anyone can do if the grass wet or thick and juice,other than mowe more often. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

My reason for a discharge rear mower...great deal.

Gentlman only use it one season on his B7100 and didn't like it,for it was hard to mowe around his house and trees and wanted a belly mower.
For $200.oo plus a case of Molson Gold he was /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif and so weren't I.

I've been using a 7ft woods med duty blade with good results so far (100 inches of snow rcvd to date). I looked at the cheaper ones and it was definitley a case of getting what you pay for. So far moved a LOT of snow, pushed soe big banks back and no breakage bending so far. Glad I got the skid shoes though - great for pushing onto the grass and gravel without digging things up.

LandPride it is! Best I've ever abused!
Welded a hook on the lower middle of the blade to hook my chain drag to. Reverse the blade, slip on the drag bar ring to ye ol' hook, lower the blade to "just B-4 touching," and you've got a sweet perfect tracking site-groomer/leveller. Unlike anything I've ever used to drag-groom a horse arena or comb out a newly brushed-out lot, the LandPride has really shown durability. Lots of adjustments on the blade geometry; easy on/off;
great wear-characteristics on the blade edger;
hell-for-stout all around.
