Re: Brown tips even with a sharp blade? Updated 8/17 w/pic!
That looks like some flavor of super-high lift discharge blade rather than a "Mulching" design.... That is the sort of design you need with a Bagger to make sure you had enough "OOmph" to blow all the clippings up into the bag....
I am guessing it excels at that function.....
But.. You may want a proper "Mulching" blade if you intend to Mulch mow....
Thanks

It was labeled as a mulching blade, should be labeled as a piece of crap blade.

I can just imagine the conversation at the blade company:tiemco wrote:It was labeled as a mulching blade, should be labeled as a piece of crap blade.
Engineering person: "Our tests show that this blade is a piece of crap."
Marketing person: "Thats ok. We'll say it's great and then we'll sell lots of them."
Engineering person: [Sadly shakes head.]

I think I worked there more than once. Like, every place with a marketing department that doesn't understand engineering or programming.
