Having a sharp blade on your mower is very important. Dull blades do not cut cleanly,but rather shred the ends of the leaf blades. The shredded ends dry out,giving the lawn a whitish look. Under normal use,mower blades should be sharpened about every 10 hours of use or generally between 10 or 20 lawn mowings. Repeated mowing with a dull mower blade increases disease problems in turf. Sharp mower blades use 22% less fuel because of the decreased resistance when cutting. So keep your blades sharp to help keep your lawn looking good and reduce the use of fuel.
