| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests ten mower-maintenance techniques that may improve blade sharpening. States that "rotary mowing systems are the most common in the landscaping industry and have the broadest applications." Explains that "rotary mower blades can be divided into two broad categories - side- or rear-discharge and mulching. However, the primary function of most rotary decks is side discharge." States that "blade sharpness is the essential element of mower blade maintenance." Concludes that "if [one performs] regular blade sharpening [one] will keep...machines in the field every day and improve the overall look of the grass." |
