BTW a 3 blade mower seems a bit overkill for the less than 1/4 acre you
have to mow.

For $12?

Four bucks a piece?

BBBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHAAAAA!!!!!

That's really amusing.


True... you couldn't get them sharpened for 12 bucks!


Honest to pete - Huskie doesn't make a three blade deck under 48" and
never has. To get a 48" deck, it has to be a minimum 25hp - mine's a
25 horse, 48" deck, hydro drive and it's just barely sufficient for
the three acres of lawn I have to mow - it ain't no "small" lawn
tractor either.

I get dealer cost on my blades and they are $36 a three pack from
Huskie.

There isn't a farm dealer in the world who's going to make that kind
of mistake selling mower blades.


It's a damn shame that a person can't make a list of tasks related to
a lawnmower and not be questioned about whether or not he actually did
them.

It's a 'Peter and the Wolf' story if one ever existed.
