Gator blades are excellent! When my old tractor was down, I borrowed my friend's old wheel horse with gator blades installed. The first time I started mowing, I thought there was a problem with his deck ...maybe it wasnt down low enough, etc. I didnt see the grass clippings coming out of the chute (relative to my mower). I then realized that the gators where chopping things up so fine, I could barely see the clippings. Very nice!! Unfortunaly I was unable to order gators for my old Ingersoll because they didnt make the right mount.
I have since replaced the Ingersoll and just aquired an old Allis Chalmers 912H. I promply removed the old blades and have ordered gators. Got a nice deal at http://www.gatorbladesforless.com/
i also agree with keeping blades sharp. A dull blade basically beats and tears the grass. A sharp blade will cut it. A gator blade will cut the clippings, lift them up and continue to cut them.
I'll report back as to how they cut
