Thicker blades?

rrman61 · Feb 1, 2020

I came across a heavy duty grass/light brush cutting deck off of I?m guessing a batwing cutter.the kind made for golf courses/large lawns,etc.its just 1 wing off of whatever it was.i want to make a trail mower out of it.its belt driven and has 2 standard lawnmower blades on it now totaling a 42? inch cut.does anyone make heavier blades that would bolt right on? Something that would cut light brush without nicking/gouging the blades too much?

If you are working with something that small try these blades. I put a pair on my Husqvarna last year and was pleasantly surprised. They stay sharp much better than the regular stuff. Check out Ebay. They cost almost the same.

I use a mutt mower to cut brush.
It's a 38 inch mower with a 10 hp motor.
I put

Larger front and rear wheels to get mower deck and an its an inch higher.
It does a good job mowing small brush.

Then I made a pull behind brush hog that cuts about 5 off. That will cut up to 1 inch brush. Use this to cut over dead flower beds in fall.

Snapper deck has a single heavy blade. I use a 30 inch blade on a 33 inch deck.

The key is getting deck higher and smaller blade gives more clearance between deck and blade.

Places online selling aftermarket blades allow you to search per hole size then blade length or width or thickness.

Search just with hole size and length desired will give you a !list of all avaialble thicknesses and types etc.
