Have you taken a look at your lawn mower blades recently?

Have you taken a look at your lawn mower blades recently to make sure that they are actually cutting your grass instead of ripping or tearing it?

Sharp blades are essential both for the health of your lawn, but also for your mower. Did you know that? Grass that is torn because of a blade that is not sharp can be more vulnerable to disease. But also, a blade that is not cutting at optimal efficiency could cause your mower to work harder than it is designed.

We’ve had hot weather mixed in with good amounts of rain. This equals good growth of grasses. Frequent Cutting with thicker grass can accelerate the dulling of a blade. We’ve also had some windy weather in Atlanta recently. This means your lawn probably has more debris scattered out on the lawn. Small limbs if not removed can dull or damage a blade even faster.

Tree limbs, rocks, roots… all these are items that can cause damage to your blade and ensure that you need to sharpen them even more frequently. If the blade has too much damage, it may need to be replaced rather than sharpened. Perhaps you should have a second set of blades on hand so that you always have a blade that is sharpened. When you replace the blade, you can bring the other one in to be sharpened professionally.
No matter how you sharpen the blades (there are many ways to do this if you are a commercial landscaper or a homeowner) you need to be aware that a sharp blade is better for your mower.

How to Mow the Lawn After Winter

Instructions

http://kensmowershop.webs.com/

1. • 1
     Raise the blades on your mower. When you mow the grass after winter, the soil and roots are still moist from frost or dew. When your blades are lower, you get a smaller cut, which can tear the grass instead of cut it.
     
   • 2
     Watch weather reports. Cutting the lawn after a huge rainstorm can damage your grass. Watch the weather and never plan to mow the lawn after rain. The top grass needs to be dry before you attempt to mow the lawn after winter. The moist grass could damage the mower as well.

     Clean and maintain the mower before you cut the lawn. The blades need to be clean and dry before you start mowing. You will also need to put oil and gas in the lawn mower. Start it on pavement or concrete before putting it on the lawn. This will ensure that the mower is working properly without damaging your grass.

     Mow the grass in sections. This will keep the grass looking good in case you are in a rainstorm and must finish the lawn another day. Begin in one spot and then move to the next

Lawnmower Blades and How Often To Sharpen Them

We sell Lawnmower Blades just over wholesale price. This saves you money every time. If your lawn mower blade is dull you can bring the blade in from the machine or bring the entire machine in for blade service. You should have your blade sharpened twice each season to help maintain a green, healthy lawn. A sharp blade not only cuts grass blades clean so grass plants recover quickly, it helps reduce your lawn mowing time and in return saving you time, energy and money.

How dull does the blade in your razor have to get before you stop shaving with it? Chances are, not very. A dull blade causes nicks and skin irritation – an altogether unpleasant experience. Change to a new, sharper blade, and your skin practically throws you a party in return.

Lawns aren’t much different in that regard. Grass responds differently to a sharp, clean shave than it does to a ragged cut. A dull blade may do the job of trimming off the tops of grass leaves, but it does so by essentially chewing its way across your yard. This is why it’s good to know how to sharpen your lawn mower blade. When it comes to lawn mower maintenance, this might be the most important task of all.

You may have noticed that you’re more prone to illness when you’re stressed out. To the best of our knowledge, the emotional life of grass is pretty limited, but grass is a plant, and plants respond to physical crises in much the same way that humans and animals do – often by getting sick.

To avoid giving your lawn the sort of nervous breakdown that could make it susceptible to disease, keep an eye out for dulling mower blades. If you discover that your blade has gone dull, take the following steps to give it back its edge.

How to sharpen your lawn mower blade

Skill level: Intermediate

Time needed: 30-60 minutes

Tools needed:

• Work gloves
• Adjustable or socket wrench
• Clamp
• Vise
• Steel wool
• Metal file
• Bench grinder (optional)

If your blade is dull but in otherwise good condition, you can sharpen it using an ordinary table vice and metal file. You might want to take the mower outside to remove the blade, to avoid any spills in your garage while working on the underside of the machine. Mark the bottom side of the blade before you remove it to avoid putting it on upside down after sharpening it. An upside down blade will simply lash your grass without cutting it.

Before you perform any maintenance on your mower, be sure to disconnect the spark plug or remove the battery. It’s a good idea to clamp the blade before turning the bolt. Using the right wrench for the bolt size, remove the blade and tighten it into the vice.

Start out by using steel wool to remove any rust spots. Then run the file along the blade’s edge, matching the original bevel, until you’ve achieved the desired sharpness. A razor sharp edge will dull quickly; an edge the sharpness of a table knife will cut well without requiring you to sharpen after every cut.

When you have the edge you want, try balancing the blade from the center. If it lists to one side, sharpen the opposite side to more evenly distribute the weight. Before you reattach the blade, take this opportunity to clean out and wipe down your mower’s undercarriage. Be sure not to under tighten the bolt, as a loose blade will vibrate and may ultimately damage your mower.

For badly nicked or curled blades, or blades that have altogether lost their beveling, you may need a bit more power. If you’re not quite ready to replace the blade altogether, you may be able to sharpen it using a bench grinder. First run the blade perpendicular along the grinding wheel to smooth out the irregularities, then again at an angle to sharpen. If you’re not quite ready to invest in a grinder of your own, check your local service shop to see if they’ll sharpen the blade for you.

Performing this simple maintenance once every three or four cuttings will ensure that your lawn is getting the crispest cut possible. For more information click the link below.
