Oregan Blades versus Kubota Blades

[Eric McCarthy]

Wont really need a grass catcher with the Gator blades. The beauty behind them is that the mulching blades chop the grass so fine that it leaves nothing behind. No mind you if your mowing on a regular basis and keep the grass short then your good to go. If it gets a little tall the Gator blades dont like it and will leave clippings behind.

I need the grass clippings for compost for my nursery. I guess what I really need is a set of high lift blades for the mower. Any direction there??

I do believe Oregon makes a set of high lift blades.

Bob, when we had the herb farm open, before the OL's bad went really south, I went and bought an old pull behind yard sweeper at a yard sale,, I would cut the clipping several times getting them really chopped up and then sweep them up, granted I didnt get all of the clipping but enough to make some pretty good piles of compost.

Thanks skeets. I've done that. But, my orange already has the grass catcher and I don't see any reason not to use it, except the hour it takes to put it on. I'm just looking for some good, long lasting, high lift blades.
