i followed the instructions on about.com and my tractor still isn't cutting good enough. i have to mow over the yard twice because the blade doesn't cut evenly.

whats the proper way to sharpen mower blades? i used a file the first time (a couple weeks ago). can i sharpen them with a bench grinder? do they need to be really sharp? when i bought new blades last year, they weren't really sharp, but they cut great.

can someone recommend a good set of blades? i have a 42" deck. i mow about 4 acres (4 seperate yards).
theres only one way to put the blades on my deck, so i know they are installed correctly. i would rather do the work myself since im on a tight budget.



Answer
Your first order of business should be checking to see if you might've mounted the blades on upside down. This is really easy to do, and makes cutting the lawn impossible. However, if you still can't find the problem, read the following paragraph.

I have a similar sized lawn and a similar sized mower. What we use is a bench grinder. Using the grinder allows me to get an extremely sharp, quality edge on my blades. Just be careful that you're not overzealous with the grinder, though.

john deere dealer vs. john deere home depot?

I know that the lawn tractors at Home Depot are made to compete with the lower quality tractors, but why are the horsepower rates higher than those of the x300 found at the dealer? Even the smallest L-series has more hp than the x-300. Is the Kawasaki engine that good? Just curious as I will probably be buying an x300 within the next week.

Also, has anyone done any comparisons between the JD x300 and the T-series Kubota mowers?



Answer
Buy from your local dealer. Kawasaki makes a good motor. I have a 1994 John Deere 425 with a Kawasaki and it has 1,000 hrs on it. The tractor looks like it just come off the showroom floor and it runs just as good. It burns NO oil. It is a little thirsty but it is 20hp and I have a 60" deck.
