Haven’t watched this whole video but right off the bat how the hell would a bent blade moving in circular motion gouge a straight line as you travel forward wouldn’t it gouge a circle when you first turn the blades on without moving the mower forward?

I was just going to say I've got one. They're awesome mowers And I want to add to the phone holder. I put my phone in it every time I mow. It's the only place on the mower that I know it's not going to fall out of and I mow some pretty steep hills also mow some pasture that is extremely rough and bumpy and it has never bounced out or even come close. It's the perfect size and deep enough to hold your phone without an issue, but other than that the mower is just it'll do anything you want to do
You can balance a blade on the wall with a 16 penny nail Straight into a stud or you can put a bolt thru a small square plate or wood and mount the blade to the bolt and measure the distance top and bottom to see if blade is bent 2 or 3 bucks or you can buy expensive unit as well
My riding mower is set to the highest setting yet it cuts grass too short. Any idea? Everything appears to be installed correctly, and the tires have enough pressure.
I'm getting this with my mower. I even got brand new blades and it's still doing it. I can't figure it out. Also seems like my right blade is ever so slightly lower than my center blade. They all have the same spacers.
Sharpening blades has nothing to do with a UN-even grass cut. Either your deck was plugged up with grass or your deck was not level in according to specks.
@@rickgledura3194 you don’t. A bent blade needs to be thrown away, it will become weak and brittle if you try bending it back. Just replace with a new one. I made this video quite awhile ago, I barely remember how it goes without watching it again
Having had a Craftsman 1000 kholer for many years and still running but it's time to upgrade. After lots of RU-vid and Google and physical researching I went to a FERRIS Dealership TOPS. In my area Harlingen TX according to them nobody has any 42" or 48" available not even the warehouse, they'll have to be made and it'll take around 2 to 6 months to a year. 8-5 Hrs of operation and they're always jammed with people needing service but they don't can't help anybody. TERRIBLE customer service so just imagine trying to get parts or maintenance. Stopped at a KUBOTA and customer service was fast attentive huge store and fully stocked organized plus they have many Kubota locations everywhere. 4 year warranty too. Bought the KUBOTA 42" Z232 Kawasaki zero turn with free delivery next day. Very happy with SERVICE and feel confident about continuing business with Kubota and will be buying more from them .
Purchased the kart mate pro for my Wright ZK 52. I am a professional lawn contractor hence why I purchased this piece of equipment. I have not received it yet as it is still going through customs however this is engineered and designed to spec unlike the cowboy comments above. There are so many uses this product will provide for my business. Cannot wait to get it fitted up and put to work this season. Great video mate. From Australia
@@tyronecashin4351 people on the internet are quick to to judge stuff they have zero clue about or are scared of or don’t understand. You will love it when you get it! Mine paid for itself the first day I used it.
We just got one second hand. $5500 at 180 hours on the gauge. First ever zero turn and I'm so excited for this evening. The little testing I did felt amazing. Especially considering our other mowing machine is an 05-06 Kubota garden tractor that's starting to show its age something fierce. We've had it over 10 years. The mower on it wobbles under it and the engine has to be jumped sometimes because it just doesn't even try to start.
Bolting crap on any zero turn is a losing proposition. Always gets in the way of going around and up to trees, it rusts, the bolts rattle and come loose nope.
I barely remember what I did in this video. Made it like 3 years ago and the algorithm randomly shot it up in views. I took the blade that was bent and threw it away and replaced it with a new one
You could make a shield with light gauge steel to cover up the deck rise and lower mechanism under neath. I just got one for my Mother and they told me to push the deck lift foot pedal and take some tension off the deck before adjusting the dial raise and lower knob. Maybe try that before turning the knob!
I use an All American Sharpeners Model 5005 to sharpen them, it’s a jig that holds the blade and grinder at the perfect angle to sharpen them. Then I balance with a MagnaMatic mag 1000 balancer.
It was just the one blade but wound up swapping it out for another from an older set. I’ve since replaced them all though, this was from several years ago.
I never mow when it's even a little wet. I know if you do it for a business, you need to, but for people just mowing their lawns, don't mow when it's wet? Unless you live in England, you should have plenty of dry days to mow and not worry about the deck getting gunked up.
Grass just builds up regardless if it’s wet or not. I haven’t cut this year once when it was even damp and I can tell you I need to clean up under there and put this stuff on again. Unless it hasn’t rained for 4 or 5 months on end then maybe you can get lucky and never have to do any cleaning under there.
Never sharpen your lawn mower blades razor sharp sharpen them at a 30° angle and the edge of the blade should be 25,000 radius.... The first quarter inch of your blade does most of the cutting... Make sure your deck is level from side to side in the front should dip down a quarter inch lower than the rear... That's The Sweet spot...😊
Back in the good old days on eighth of an inch run out on your mower blade was the limit of run out that was acceptable.... So don't be throwing. . away a good blades... I'd like you to know the standard of run out still applies to modern day so that way you won't misunderstand what I said... A blade can have a 1/8 inch run out..😮
