Like the wear on your blades, I've seen them worn completely in two in a single season. Mowing once in a sandy area is cool, because the deck gets sandblasted. More than that just eats them up! I cringe when i slide under a customers mower to do blades and every square inch is grey sandblasted bare steel...and the blade tips have a 6" gap 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back yard..its just mowing grass and sand Wow, never realized that sandy ground could be so destructive. Up in Maryland, it's only grass buildup and the deck will be fine if you take care of it. Any chance you could cut the rear lawn that's sandy with a sickle bar or older towed reel mower? Both setups could become a PITA but neither would involve lifting/throwing sand around. Good luck with a unique problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Front is easy though, back is sandy.. cant afford to water 3/4 acre back yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
