Default Speaking of tractors or lawnmowers


Something I found out about commercial rated versus residential types.

A few years back I bought a Scag commercial mower. The difference is the
blade tip speed.
Residential type mowers are restricted by federal regulations to some
maximum tip speed at full throttle.

Commercial types are not, and the tip speed of the blade is typically much
higher. Makes for better cuts and smaller mulch.
