Stock blades and a rubber flap behind deck for striping kit. I do have the modified blade bosses and Oregon g6 waiting to go on

VERY NICE Job AND pic.

Is that a chicken, turkey or hog house in the background ?

Nice lawn!
Can you post a pick of the striping flap? I assume this is a custom job.
I have been tempted to add something to my primary mower.

It’s actually a cow barn. We raise a bunch of beef cows and bale hay .... after my regular 40 hour job. So my zd mows some nice grass then some not so nice grass around the farm. By the time I get to it all it’s about a foot tall and takes twice as long to mow as it should, hence why I really wanted the 1511 model

It’s actually a kit from tractor bracket. You could make one easily. I’ve just been working so much I just bought it. It’s definitely a more noticeable stripe and once you make all your different direction patterns in spring it’s gets to be a deeper stripe after 3rd or 4th mow in that direction

I also spray my hay fields and go over my lawn as well with sprayer. So it’s got a lot of fertilizer on it and makes a better stripe Some of the farm yard weedy grass doesn’t make this nice of a stripe

I was so used to how well my diesel scag striped the lawn with no stripe kit I was kind of disappointed in Kubota cut. Hence why I put on stripe kit and the 1 1/8 blades

I have a SD 1211 and hate the blades. I am considering machining the spindles but I wondered could one not just buy the Oregon 396-814 blades and drill the center hole out to 1-5/16? We are only talking 3/16” difference in diameter should be fairly easy to do unless the blades are just super hard.

Blades are Hardened like pocket knives & Leaf Springs.

High Quality Drill Bits ran extremely slow in oil will not touch them & remember the Gator G6 Blades are 1/4 Thick.

MUCH easier to buy 3 new boss holders & have machined down : thanks again to gonnasellit.

Then you can run 1-1/8 OR stock 1-5/16 center hole Blades.

I finally installed my Oregon 396-814 G6 Gator Mulching Blades with machined down blade boss holders on my 72” SD deck.

They stripe the yard a lot better.
They cut the clippings MUCH FINER now :thumbsup: :D

I didn’t have any complaints with cut from stock 3” wide blades.

I’m cutting at 2-3/4 on the Dial which measures 3.5” blade height off concrete floor.

I like my ZD1211 72” RD but this ZD1511 72” SD takes mowing grass to another level

What do you find are the big differences between your 1211 and 1511 .. so far.

I was originally going to buy a ZD1511 RD but .. dealer couldn't find one. I'm happy with my ZD1211 RD after 370 hours.
