Today we're going to talk about the types of riding mower blades and when you should use each one. Your riding mower probably came with one of these common types of blades when you bought it. Not all of the blades we’ll talk about today are compatible with every mower, so check your owner's manual for a list of optional blades to avoid problems. Here's a high-lift blade, which some manufactures call a bagging or a 2-in-1 blade. The curved tips lift the grass clippings and help blow them through the side discharge chute or into the bag if you have one attached. The second type is a mulching blade. It has a contoured shape that swirls the grass clippings around inside the deck. Long cutting edges repeatedly recut the grass clippings into mulch. To make the mulch drop rather than go through the discharge chute, you have to cover the discharge port. You can buy a kit that includes mulching blades and a plug for the discharge opening. If your mower came with blades that mulch, it probably also came with a plug. Next, we’ve got the 3-in-1 blade, which combines the features of the high-lift blade and the mulching blade. You can use it for side discharge, bagging or mulching. When you use this blade for mulching, cover the deck's discharge port with the optional plug. Some riding mowers use a Ninja blade that has 6 cutting surfaces designed to finely cut grass clippings into mulch. Ninja blades also help lift grass clippings when bagging. Although this blade looks cool, you can't use it on every mower. It's designed only for compatible Snapper Ninja mowers. Now we will talk about some specialty blades that are available for certain mowers. Some after-market manufacturers offer specialty 3-in-1 and mulching blades with slots on the side that face up, away from the ground. The slots help control airflow under the mower so grass clipping are recut more often—making finer mulch. The sand blade is for mowing lawns on sandy soil. It has low-lift fins that help move grass and sand out the side discharge chute. Sand blades help prevent mower deck wear when mowing over sandy ground. Now for some maintenance tips. Remember to keep your mower blades clean and sharp, and replace them often. To make blade replacement easier, use this universal blade removal tool that holds the blade in place when you remove and reinstall the blade bolt. Using this tool is easier and safer than using a block of wood or your hand to hold the blade. Also, keep your mower deck clean and use a deck lubricant for the best mulching and discharging.
