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.

Despite your shade tree mechanics opinions, I can assure you that they do.
I have a friend who has a similar designed residential rated mower.
(these are the type
that you operate like a Bobcat. Your sit on it and drive it with two
levers that control hydraulic motors).

His doesn't come close to the Scag. You can tell just by the sound and
by how finely it chops up the clippings. Plus, I can go through foot
high grass and the mower doesn't miss a beat. His would stall.

Thanks. This sockpuppet appreciates the advice.

In my other post I noted that it would seem that residential mowers are
not constrained to a lower blade tip speed. Perhaps the manufacturers
build the residential ones with a lower tip speed.

Also, my sense is that the commercial mowers are probably designed to
cut better, and they do run near the maximum allowed tip speed.
