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.

Just curious where you heard this.

I checked today with with my lawn mower repair shop, a place with some
old grease monkeys who've been around awhile. They said it's not true.
Said it was an internet rumor.

Harry's mower is special, he has special permission to own a machine
that is not constrained by silly safety rules every one else needs to
deal with... It was built for him personally by NASA with the
oversight of the Husky Corp top R+D guy himself... They gave it to him
free, because he is such a great guy... Just ask him

Ummm, I was responding to Eisboch who made a statement about commercial
mowers vs. residential mowers.

While I am inclined to agree with you that in HK's world, everything he
possesses is special, better, and more liberal than yours and mine, I
truly am interested in whether commercial mowers spin their blades
faster than residential ones.
