Something I found out about commercial rated versus residential types.

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.

Yes, indeed, and the commercial cutters will slice through longer,
wetter grass, too, thanks to that tip speed, and also resist bogging down..
