Then in the spring I just bag the first couple mows and voila! My lawn is better homes and gardens lush! i have a bunch of maples if it was only a few i would do just that but the whole back property line is trees plus 2 big ones in the front. .

If the leaves are dried out,the 4 blades turns them into powder. https://powerequipment.honda.com/lawnmowers/quadra-cut. 75 foot tall silver maple in the back yard. Cleaning up the leaves sucked before I got this mower. I didn't know a 4 blade mower existed. I have a Honda mulching mower with a mulching blade, obviously, and although it does a decent job, when the leaves are thick, many hardly get mulched up at all. Just yesterday I was mowing leaves but with a bag on the mower. I could still see some of the finer stuff getting laid back down on the lawn but the majority of the leaves ended up in the bag. This was the second time I did this in the last week and with the trees still half full of leaves, it won't be the last. You have me wondering now if a better blade can be purchased for this mower?

Not sure if you can add the four blade to a standard blade Honda? I live in a old area with massive trees. A lot of my neighbors have the quad cut Honda because of the fall clean up. My yard isn’t big enough for a rider. I’ve been looking at the toro 32” walk behind to speed up grass cutting. I will keep the Honda for chopping leafs in the fall. They must have a tight patent on the two blades stacked on top of each other? It’s been out for years and none of their competition has come out with anything close to it?

I would assume, or hope, that something improved is available to do a better job? The amount of leaf dust I seen in the mower bag the last 2 times tells me it is mulching decently but it seems like quite a few leaves are getting past. I'm mowing slow but in places the leaves are pretty thick/deep so maybe even an improved blade wouldn't do much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need to manually sharpen the raised cutting edges on each side. Heard good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't necessarily hace to be made specifically for your mower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 We used to rake and load the fukkin' leaves onto the trailer and haul them up back to a compost pile . Load after load, many loads. FUCK THAT!!! Now, I just keep running over the bastards with the mowers, and break them up. It's still a pain in the ass, but better than raking, shoveling, hauling, and shoveling them off the trailer......again. I had two sets of ear protectors on today, and my fukkin' ears are still ringin'. It was cold and misting, but I chopped up a ton of leaves. Will wait about another week, and everything should be down...……...then I'll do a final clean-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 30, 2019 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 30, 2019 They don't need to be completely broken down. Broken up some will allow them to biodegrade over the next 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Ya' have to mulch the leaves every week. You can't wait for them to all fall down, too difficult for the mower to mulch massive amounts. Do them every week, and one last time, and your place will look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
