Lawn mower blades...

[Squirrel]

So my grandparents have a troy bilt tuff cut 220, ive always kept up on the maintenance, making sure it always has good oil, filters, plugs etc.. it has one of those 3 in 1 blades, even after a real nice sharpening and tune up its been having some problems keeping up with the grass (clumping and not mulching right) because it slows down, especially after a request to lower the cut... so i was thinking, besides raising the governor, are there any 'bad-ass' blades out there? as in lighter or somehow better?... i was thinking about drilling a bunch of speed holes in the blade lol, but was worried about the integrity of it afterward... any suggestions out there?

im sure can find better mower blades,,, as for drilling holes... not a good idea,, if it weakens the intricate of the steel , it may snap or break apart

I wouldn't go drilling holes in the blades. They have to remain somewhat balanced or you'll toast the spindles they attach to.

Speed holes? Watching the simpsons? Lol

Blades are hardened and you will have a tough time drilling one.

The only way you will get a better cut is to buy a good mower.

i agree with elle the blades are a b to drill threw cut the grass with the wheels set higher and then cut the grass with the wheels lower it sucks you have to cut the grass twice if the yards big get yourself a nice 36 or 48 lawnmower with alot of power

If the grass is high or wet and you go to cut it low it will bog regardless of what you do to the blade.

Oh, and if you are trying to use a mulching feature, try not doing that and going with a side exit.
