Couple small rust holes. Not enough to bother with the welder yet. Just touched up with Rustoleum. Sharpened and balanced the blades. Will put it back on the mower tomorrow. Gonna get ready for work early and make a few store stops on the way.
Really making me want to move there........NOT!!!
Good stay on your side of the track then!
I was going to sharpen the blades on my mower, went to take them off, there were hardly anything there!!!! Hit so many rocks they scraped almost away....

It aint that bad... we did get a good soaker yesterday and have some standing water. It all goes back to normal pretty quick. No earthquakes or mud slides in the forecast.Really making me want to move there........NOT!!!
Just got a new set of them for mine also. Man the old ones are short! Love my mower but man the blades are 100 and that's cheap for them!
I only replaced my blades on my John Deere twice in 26 years....I sharpen them every spring....

My blades are still good. I fixed up the deck last fall,only mowed a couple times after that.

Mines 50” wide. I see 3 blade set is $30-40 on ebag. Don’t recall when I got new last, but should be good for a few years yet
That is a yuppy mower and a half.
Where do you even buy something like that. Definitely not the average Jane places I shop like Lowe's, home depot, and tractor supply.
That looks like something you can get through sky mall or duty free shopping network.

A lot of that is in how you sharpen them. Some people take a ton of metal off trying to get it straight every time you get a ding on the edge. The grass dont care what it looks like. Lol
I've been going through blades now that I've doubled my acreage.
I don't think it's all hitting rocks, but friction from the weeds themselves and hitting small twigs at high speed will wear the blade away

When I bought my house a mower in the shed came with the deal.
It needs a little work though

I buy the “Gator” blades. Seem to last and are tougher.
If you have sandy soil it will wear them out fast too.
And they need to be sharp but not thin and like a razor.

I built a 4 footer, commercial deck and 18 hp. Pulls easy and cuts down on mowing time.
