Do you bother to sharpen your lawn mower blade? Why?
Frank unnecessarily full-quoted:
I took my 5 year old Honda into the shop to service mainly because (because he can't turn a wrench. Which I expect for anyone spending a fortune on a Gucci lawnmower made by Honda) Carburetor was done, oil and air filter change, lubing, steam cleaning and blade sharpening. All for less than $100. Well worth it for me. I buy sears craftsman mowers, which cost $250, never change the oil (just keep topping it up), store them with what-ever gas they had after the last cutting of the year, take the air filter off once in a while and shake it clean. But I sharpen the blades myself on my 1 hp 8" table grinder at least 4 times a year. I mow the lawn at 2 different locations, and have a mower at each place - one is self propelled 6.75 hp 22", the other is 6.5 hp 21". I bought a bunch of generic 22" universal blades at TSC last year when they landed on the discount table at $5 each. Funny thing is that I took about 1/8" off the tips of one of them and I'm using it on the mower with the 21" deck. Go figure. Some lame-ass google-groper newbie InTheSouth (stanshelton @ gmail.com - where are you Stan? In Orlando FL? What is dybh?), while replying to a 4-year-old post by full-quoting it (and not saying or adding anything?) quoted another door knob (James H) saying this: Do you bother to sharpen your lawn mower blade? Why? Of course you're supposed to sharpen your lawnmower blades. Anyone that doesn't is a dolt. Not a real man. |
