Mowing tall thick grass with Kavli Finisha X-treme blades! X blades - Awesome!! 

I haven't even used my regular Finisha blades and they are already out of date :)

There website doesn't show these types of blades

@@Boodieman72 By no means are they out of date please use them and get back to us

@@johnkavli8181 Might be a few months as it's winter here.

John, sent you a request for a quote months ago for a set for an Exmark rear-discharge and never got a reply. I mentioned rear-discharge because the right side spins the opposite direction.

Indeed it is Sean. The Cheetah by itself is quite a force to reckon with, but it's a whole new game with blades like these on it!

Oh, yes, you definitely need these. Aha, so were you the one I was mentioning, who wanted me to put the 6 Finisha blades on?

Exactly!

lol, i hate the feeling of walking outside and getting grass blown in your nose my a lawnmower.

...more coming...

Yea, I filmed a couple of vids that day. Next one will be up next week.

Oh that's a neat idea to watch while working out. I've been told that I'm popular in the bathroom as well!

@@Something2LookAt I wish I could be mowing now, but I live near Kansas City and it's about 30 degrees everyday in the winter. So this the best we can do until mid March at the earliest. 😂 All do respect you make great videos to enjoy.

Correct. That's what I was secretly thinking. :)

That will be next week. I filmed more and I'll post it next week.

Yes, sorry that the video ended. :) I did film a bit more with them that day and I'll be posting it this week. And funny you should mention the "ting" sound because that was a nice surprise. I was really enjoying that. 2 edge blades don't really do that. And when you hit these with a hammer they sound like a bell!

@@Something2LookAt I ment i could of watched hours of it mate lol keep them coming also just listened through headphones sounds awesome 👌

Thought the same thing instantly.

Of course you do see the scene where I am engaging the blades with the camera pointed up under the deck.

...and there it is. Anything else? hehe :)

Hi David I am not aware of any X blade formation able to cut tall ( at least more than 1 foot tall ) grass. The blades must expel the grass instantly in order not to clog the mower up and stall. This is what makes all our blades unique. The grass has very little time to sit under the deck it is expelled almost immediately. The sheer volume of grass that Mike is cutting and is being thrown out is staggering even to us!

Yes. Back in action!

Who needs personal protection gear except for those babies who can't dodge bullets?

Thank you Dan

Heck yea. They're crazy!

Interesting that you mention power. These blades are requiring a lot of power. I rarely throttle the Cheetah all the way up and I had to for all this footage. If it's a big mower, make sure your horsepower is 30+.

They are a mulching blade!!. All our blades mulch there is no comparison. We truly believe there is no comparison with any other blade on the market. If you have seen a better blade that is able to cut TALL grass and leave the finest mulch please show us.

@@johnkavli8181 they don’t cause extra stres, wear & tear on the engine and drive train ?

THANKS

Indeed, sadly I've hit all of the above and much more. I once hit a 6 foot snake that stopped the mower! You watch and be as careful as you can but things still happen.

Ha!, yes. The 2 masters finally reveal their 2 apprentices!

I like that.

Not really. It's still symmetrical.

You're in luck, John Kavli is in Australia. Just follow the link in the top pinned comment.

Exactly!

Oh yes, it's harder to turn these. It's like having six blades to turn and extra weight, but it does it. Takes a while to slow them down too when you disengage them.

They are not on the site yet. But you could probably have him make you a set now that they have been proven.

LOL!

Well, you know, in the current situation I find myself with masks in the truck all the time, so I have been using them for lawn care lately. :)

@@Something2LookAt wear them when it hasn't just rained in the last 48 hours. i put some of these white n95 masks on years ago before this virus stuff, just cuz guys said with the bandanas over their faces they had less problems, they were so very right, these masks come out nasty blackish by lunch time for me, and to think i was inhaling all that crud, i notice the lung and breathing improvement during the fall and spring clean ups and when it hasn't rained for more than a week as the amount of dirt clouds flying up are easier to see. i have less sinus problems when i wear the 3m painters masks that seal your mouth and nose together. before i noticed this i would always have black crud coating the inside of my nose to the point i had to clean it out while swimming or taking a shower after mowing all day.

Yea these are the best all around blades I've used, if you can get them.

@@Something2LookAt by the way, how do you properly Mount the finisha blade? Does the pointed side point up or down toward the ground?

@@user-ei9cz2uj8b It sounds crazy but the teeth do point down. They're designed to get all the tall grass that lays down as the deck passes over them.

Hi t anderson it is very hard to get a video of x-blade system cutting tall grass like Mike is . Do you have a video of you cutting tall grass?

@@johnkavli8181 Not posted yet but will soon youtube is Tackle Lawn Service

Nope. Height of cut was exactly where it was supposed to be.

@@Something2LookAt Excellent! Thank you!

Oh yea, nobody has seen these blades. They are prototypes. I think the Cheetah has about 1600 hrs.

lol, almost! It does sound like an airplane now!

Overkill id necessary to get the job done quicker. 😀

Seems that way. I was surprised to see that they were all precisely balanced. I would think that would be a trick to do. But who knows. It's a new concept. You may be right.

Hi Sara good to hear from you and that is a terrific question. As yet we have not sharpen the X-Treme blade and no one has gotten back to us with that kind of info. They seem from all our testing to wear evenly. Just wondering if Mike can enlighten us.

@@johnkavli8181 Ha, I haven't sharpened an X-treme blade yet either. I'm sure that they wear evenly though. Once the disaster areas start getting overgrown again around here I'll put the X-Treme blades back on and go brush hogging!

As far as I know there aren't any U.S. dealers.

Probably about the same. After 30 years doing this I don't really have expansion plans. It would be neat to add a mower to the fleet. Occasionally I cruise Craigslist for something unique that's in perfect shape. Who knows...

Yea, I think they'd work on just about anything!

i've been in texas, i know what that stuff is, up north we call it prairie grass. i'd like to try these in cornfields after the harvest. also that giant india and giraff grass thats invading wetland. oh and cat tails.

LOL, you're not the only one...

Actually, these are 21 inch. Stay tuned. I will be mounting 1 of these onto my 21 inch Cub Cadet. A lot of people are interested in these varieties of blades for their standard 21 inch mower so I will keep making videos utilizing mine. In the meantime, the standard Finisha blade would do quite well and that is already available. I made that video here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OkzD1L4dMxM.html

They are a little over $80 US each, so a set is about $250

I dunno? Anybody know? Are these big engines like the small ones? About 3500 rpm?

Yes. We all thought they were upside-down at first. I mean, when I shot the first video with them, I was really reluctant but when it's explained, it totally makes sense.

All good wasn’t having a dig at u buddy but my gosh those blades pushed some power

I can safely say yes. I get accused of cutting at too low a throttle all the time. :)

That's the goal with these blades.

I believe so.

I'm positive he can make them for that mower. Link to his site is the top pinned comment.

HI Roderick we manufacture these in Victoria

What would be the cost for 3 blades for a Scag Tiger Cub please? Size of a single blade is 416mm long, 62mm wide,5mm thick and a 16mm clearance hole in the guts.

@@roderickbarry2411 could you please send us your email or send us a message through our site it is much easier for us.

Yes. I mowed some with it and it cuts regular yards very nice.

@@Something2LookAt Looking at those blades working on that tall mess taking it down that quick n clean that a regular yard would chew it up. Thank you for your response n the short time to reply

They are designed to point down. As the really tall grass and brush gets pushed over by the deck, it can miss the blades all together. The teeth on these blades sticking down catch it.

I filmed it last week. I'm in Florida.

Seems like it, but no.

Stay tuned. I will be mounting one of these on my Cub Cadet 21 inch push mower and we'll see. But I think it will work fine.

@@Something2LookAt ok thanks i have a mowing business and i need a good brand and blades

Oh yea, these blades are prototypes for testing but I told them they are quite good.

These blades are expensive but nowhere near the price of a bush hog, with a much better finish.

@@johnkavli8181 How much?

Your blades have to be longer than 530mm or 20 1/2 inches
