For starters, I have never, ever, commented on any KZbin video and I think that KZbin is one of the greatest educational tools ever. What I want to tell you is not so much about the content although it was very good. But that I admire or have more respect for someone who tells it like it is, gives his reasons and bias' of their process and gives an honest personal opinion. Thank You.

[@jeffvanrobertson2970]

Thanks for the in-depth video. I have a 61" Skag and mow my 30-acre horse property. In the late summer - the pastures get really thick and the Dallisgrass seed heads are like cutting straw! the Skag is a beast, but when cutting at 5-6" (can't cut grazing pastures down lower if active) - i lose the lift and have to mow over sections twice - like you said. If I cut at 4" or lower - the 1st cut is muck cleaner. It doesn't worry me too much as I always like to go over twice to really mulch up the clippings so the dry quicker and disappear. Keep up the vids!

I own a Cub Cadet ZTX4 zero turn, one great mower with a serious chute & hose clogging problem when the grass is damp from dew or a little over 4.5" I keep my grass higher due to high heat during the day and attempt to save water. It's driving me crazy. I also own and love my John Deere 4310 Compact Tractor that is not set up to mow our sod lawn with beds & trees. Can't wait to search your videos for some ideas.

After having used these for a season and a half, I have to agree with everything you said. I love the bush hog concept and the toughness of the blades, but I'm having to go over the yard 2, maybe even 3 times because they leave ridges of half cut grass. Take that $300 and buy a few sets of good quality blades.

[@ronh9384]

Good video. I ordered a set of the Meg-Mo blades a few days after your original video about them. I installed them on my Ferris IS600Z and they are working great! The blades that came with my Ferris are great and discharged grass about 8 feet. The Meg-Mo blades are discharging about 10-11 feet. I am very happy with my Meg-Mo set and would buy them again. You mentioned other blades you wanted to try…. My favorite blades, after the Meg-Mo blades are the Fisher Barton “Marbain” blades which are excellent. The various Ballard blades are really good too! Ballard has a “low lift”, a “high lift”, and a “ripper” style blade. They also have an X-blade that combines a “ripper” blade with another blade in a “X” pattern that give excellent results. Especially in spring and fall with wet grass or leaves, but I have also used the X-Blade year around with good results. Hope that helps.

I replaced my factory blades with the Meg Mo blades on a 60" Z960 and have had very good results. I am using it at a rural property with lots of uneven terrain and unpredictable obstacles (rocks, ant piles, tree limbs, etc.) and the blades have performed very well so far whereas my factory blades were destroyed relatively quickly.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

[@alphaforce6998]

I had a Snapper Pro S150XT zero turn that came with marbain steel blades, and these were already very good. Then I later added the mulch kit to it, which included high lift blades. It cut very well, and the reason is the design and aerodynamics of the deck. That plays a far bigger role in the quality of cut than most people realize, and I think Snapper Pro mowers are consistently underrated because they're associated with "consumer" grade mowers. The thing is, even their consumer-grade mowers were as good as or better than many "commercial" mowers. If you get high-lift blades you need an engine that can turn them at the proper RPM, and yeah, that can easily mean 25-30 HP because if your engine is underpowered your blade speed will drop drastically with high-lift blades and the cut quality will drop. My snapper pro had the Briggs vanguard v-twin rated around 27 HP. It as such a nice mower.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Lift is definitely important.

[@lawrencedelong9748]

My blades for my eXmark 52" Vantage arrived on Saturday ( 09April2022 ). My current blades by Rotary ( part# 11421 ) after 15 hours in Florida ( are always worn out ).Then, I installed the Meg-Mo blades at 318.1 hours on my mower; and started to mow my property 5 acres. Currently, I have mowed 2.6 hours with the Meg-Mo blades ( hour meter is 320.7 hrs ) and my lawn looks great and a much faster cutting time with these blades. OH YEA

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for sharing

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

On the Meg Mos I’ve read on multiple forums that they don’t cut well, but some guys with lawn services will use them only for doing leaves. I tried the X blades on the 52” deck on my Toro 522xi with the adapter plates. I didn’t notice much of a difference in cut but it was more difficult starting the mower deck because of the flywheel effect. I had to release the tensioner arm on the mule drive, turn on the electric PTO and then get off the seat and re engage the tensioner arm on the mule drive. I returned to just using one Oregon high lift blade per spindle which is a good match for the long thick farm lawn I mow twice a month.

[@daddio7249]

I have a John Deere 130E riding mower. What I do is have my discharge open and make concentric circles always blowing the grass to the inside. That way I re-cut the grass from the previous pass. In heavy grass I just over lap a bit to get any windrow.

[@bigsway4414]

I have a John Deere commercial zero turn mower. If you do the hard work of finding the best blades I will go buy a set and tell you how they compare to my factory blades. Keep these great videos coming....

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks What model and deck size do you have

[@km066]

Another possible explanation is the time of year you are using the mower. I have fixed blade mowers that don’t mow as well in the summer as the woody stems of the weeds are harder and don’t lend themselves to being cut as easily. Keep that in mind as you evaluate your results during the course of the year.

[@bsjcook]

I have been running the meg-mo on a riding lawn mover with a 52 in deck (3 spindles )in Colorado with an almost pasture like field with many types of weeds. It works very well especially with all the small rocks that get hit. The only way I can get a smooth lawn look is to steer so that the middle of the mower is on the edge of the uncut grass (in other words half the cut width). That way all the uncut weeds are cut, and it just takes longer. Also the 20hp mower is almost not enough power with the meg-mo. And finally I have hit enough stuff that the set of blades needs replacing. I will now read more reviews on different blade types. Mostly I really liked the Meg-mo blades.

[@markpuls3340]

I got the Meg Mo blades for my new Zero Turn Cub Cadet and the vibration was from them was so bad that I couldn’t use them anymore plus, I had to cut most of the grass a second time due to unevenly mowed patches

[@mvblitzyo]

great information thanks ..

[@stwings98]

What I took away from this video is that the Meg-Mo blades are more suited for mowing larger unimproved areas that do not require a “manicured” cut. Say, an open field that you simply don’t want overgrown but isn’t part of a “yard”.

[@medjoolmaker]

thanks for keeping it real

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I really wanted to love these but They just aren’t cutting well enough Thanks for watching

[@MrBobWingard]

Just a thought … I am considering making a set of “x-blades” by simply drawing them tightly together, cutting them to proper length, mounting the sling type blades onto them using proper dimensions and hardware. That way I can run any combination of tips that I have available to me. I have already run the x-blades all summer by just crossing two blades at a 90, and have experienced no slippage. If necessary, I could just permanently pin the blades together. This configuration would give me the function of the Meg-Mo coupled with the 1/4” offset of every other cutting tip, which, so far has worked very well. Still plotting/planning just how to I want to proceed.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’d like to see that. I really think the swivel design has merit please just don’t seem to have enough left in my opinion Good luck with your project

[@brianmiller1098]

Make absolutely 💯 percent those blades STAY at 90°

[@williamrunyon7335]

Have you tried Gator blades these things are great. they are thicker than regular blades and the a up sweep on the back of the blade that have teeth cut in them. I live in northern ohio and early in the year the rain makes it hard to cut the lawn every week my grass got so thick and tall that when i did get it cut with the gator blades that the grass was white underneath

[@snunya9399]

Doing the math, I just couldn't get over the swivel of the blades, considering that the purpose of a blade is to cut through grass, which when dense, could clearly cause the blades to swivel. Considering the longevity and cost of standard blades, I just couldn't see purchasing something that cost's 10 times as much. Is it 10 times better? No. Honestly, the only thing I can see good about them is the lower damage risk, but as anyone who has sharpened blades can tell you....15 minutes and your blade is good as new after sharpening. Thanks for your review!

[@altestic9436]

Just got mine recently. Doesn't seem to cut all the grass completely. Kind of disappointing but I am going to make sure my mower deck is a little lower in the front. But I'm pretty sure it already is. I think my old wore out blades cut just as well.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I bought a set of meg-mo blades for my mowers from your recommendation,I fell in love with the idea of the swing away blades. I am not a commercial mower but i do mow about an acre and a half twice a week during the grow season. So far they are flippin awesome. No more wind row and I never have to go over twice. My heart dropped when i watched this megmo video😔😔

Just curious, I know they make this for push mowers but how does this blade system work in terms on uneven terrain? I look for blades that give the most cleanest and straightest cut. Also is the price worth it? I believe a push mower blade is close to $70.00 off their site, I generally don't go over $30.00.

[@Rob-sr9rj]

I have a cub cadet zr1. It's a 50" mower. It's a beast and I love it. The blades dull as quick as any other. I don't mind sharpening them. It doesn't take long. Manufacturers don't just put on any old blade. They spend millions designing and testing deck designs with blade designs. Use the oem blades and you'll get the best results. Maintain your machine and it'll last. Sometimes in the thick tall stuff you might just need to slow down. Bummer.... cheers.😂

[@Brough1111]

My neighbor had one of these and run over a bull frog several times with out hurting it, he finally drove over and stoped on top the frog while I looked under the mower the frog would jump into the air as the blade come around no matter how fast the throttle setting the frog would dodge the blade.

[@stevenrheeter6005]

I've been using the megmo blades for years... I think they are the best blades on the market

[@smoothz0657]

Most fabricated decks sacrifice air flow for longevity. A stamped deck will more cleanly move air, grass..and have a more powerful suction. Some manufacturers installed stamped baffles to try to better control this..but its a bandaid fix. These megmow blades definitely lack lift and the design itself seems to not take this into consideration...id assume because the mounting disc would distort if the 4 blade ends were "high lift"...and were acting as wings pushing down on the disc.

[@ritterjon]

💥 Interesting that they are very popular in Australia. Do you know if there are other companies that offer them there? *Keep on tractoring!*

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I have run high lift, gator, xblade, etc. I currently have a set of meg mo on order. Really curious to try them out. I look at my blade selection as a situational decision. In the summer when I need a good stripe and I’m cutting frequently I will go with a sharp high lift blade. In the fall when I need to deal with leaves I will go to a gator or xblade. The big issue I have had with xblade is the strain it puts on the mower and the fuel consumption. Hoping the meg mo will give me the benefits of the xblade while being a bit lighter and easier on the mower.

[@joad47]

Meg-Mo blades are really good, but the cost of the setup is expensive and the cost to replace the 4 knives on each spindle gets up there in cost. A single knife runs about $8-9/each or $35/spindle. With 3 spindles that's $100+ to replace the knives. You can buy almost 3 sets of Oregon Gator Blades for that price. If you have the money to spend on the Meg_Mo system, it's really great.

When I was younger I was a big John Deere fan for tractors , and other brand names for different products , cars and trucks , tools , appliances etc. And I believe that at that time my beliefs were justified. Nowadays , however , things have changed. For one thing very few products are manufactured in the USA anymore. Even if they claim they are 'manufactured' here , when you dig into it you find that many or even most of the components are manufactured in other countries , especially electronics. And they are only 'assembled' in the USA. And there is good and bad with that. Another thing you find is that multiple brand names are manufactured by the same companies , and/or share many of the same components. Everything is outsourced these days , so there isn't much of an argument anymore for being brand-loyal. Don't get too hung up on being brand-specific in your purchasing habits , unless of course if you can find products that are genuinely manufactured in the USA.

From your first video to this video. You went from talking about how clean the cut was to now its not so clean. It's been 5 weeks and everyday use. You went from saying your gonna put them on every mowing deck you've got to now your taking them off. I think you have just dulled them out from use. Just lift the mower with your tractor and take a fine file easily across all the edges, just brush the edges back up and then see if your cut gets cleaner. I honestly think you will get back to the same clean cut in your first video. And you won't have to re balance them because you said they still have a pretty good edge, so you wouldn't be taking out alot of material with the file. You would just be fine tuning the edges back up to the same condition as new. I would try that before I stopped use of the product, 5 weeks everyday use all types of grass is more use than some blades see all season. I am in no way being disrespectful or rude, this is just my opinion, Thank you for your videos and I respect and appreciate what you do.

I just ordered a set for my cub cadet zero turn 50 Inch deck and they manufacture the center hole without the star design, the tolerances are very tight that they hold tight on the spindle and with less torque and the way the blades swing away they don't damage the spindle according to the manufacturer with the mounting bolts tight

Any update video on the Meg mo blades?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I did a final review that was kind of long-winded. Bottom line I decided they weren’t worth it for me, but that might be because my stand on mowers are a little bit under powered. Feels like these blades don’t get enough lift

[@garymclemore1128]

where can i get the bush hog blades

[@genemetz1945]

Help! I want a better blade to replace the blade on my new 2021 80v 21" Kobalt mower. Can you advise me?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I don’t have any advice. I’ve been doing some test with this brand and I think I like them but I want to try a few more things before the final verdict. But I’m also going to demo other brands. Until I do that it’s not an educated opinion

[@genemetz1945]

@@RockhillfarmYT - Thanks . Looking forward to your results.

[@travisc3571]

I have X blades on my mower and it’s not much difference. I was hoping to get a better cut from them but it is no different. I put new blades on my machine as recommended when I got the adapters. It’s all about the technology of the deck engineering.

[@anvilsvs]

I built X blades myself and noticed no difference.

[@AMO248]

I finally got my Meg MO blades and I can't use them! Waited almost 8 weeks for them to get here. I opened the box and right on top is an additional instruction diagram attached to the installation instructions. It shows and says that the center hole fits around the star... Nope! The hole is way to small. That's 2 strikes for Meg MO, customer service was not good and they apparently sent the wrong blades or have the wrong data for my John Deere.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That sucks

[@jeffsteelman8036]

After using these blades for a season, on a commercial toro 54”. There is no doubt they cut far better than the factory blades. I will definitely recommend them. Yes I have used several different types for 10 seasons on a 3 acre property,this is a far better product…slow to get but worth the wait and price 👍

[@connorsisson814]

Hey There! I am the oldest son of the owners of the company. please reach out to me, I would like to connect with you on the minor concern you have. lets have a conversation. we appreciate the honest reviews. thanks!

[@akbychoice]

For walk behind mowers, I haven’t found anything better than my Honda blades.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for sharing

[@bruiserdickerson4039]

Love how he gives honest opinion on this

[@davidhiggs5670]

How do they run on a good zero turn???

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I never found out. I’ve got the hustler X one now but it’s a different blade size with a 72 inch deck

[@ivanpeachey6997]

did you try the cutlass blades

[@jeramiebentley4054]

If a company has been around for 30 years and you can get the owner on the phone that should tell you something.

[@smoak666]

Great idea. Doesn't warrant the cost.

[@jenniferj7588]

The better the vaccume on the blades the better the cut .. Look for blades with better suction ..

[@timrasmussen5473]

They don’t clean the deck out well so the deck gets stuffed full and then it wind rows. Not best for wife mowers.

[@decimatorx8083]

If you mow deck is dirty and full of crap underneath no blade will lift the grass to cut ....you need speed and must be clean

[@eagerlawncare3700]

I only buy hi-lift blades I'm very pessimistic about everyone I do apologize for the "nit wit" coment

[@pattersonlandscaping5621]

How about on a Scag...

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I have never personally ran a scag. I know they sell them for scag mower’s My plan is to demo several different mowers on the channel in the spring Thanks for watching

[@TraceElements-ti5ke]

I cannot imagine the huge lawsuit that will come down on you when one blade (2500 RPM/219 MPH tip speed) wears through the high strength bolt and kills your neighbors dog or worse. The discharge chute is on the deck for a reason, foreign object knock down.. I say good luck for those users who don't watch bold wear for (thin sections) in the high strength bolts.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

As mentioned in the video, I don’t use them The mower has electronic mulch on demand that doesn’t open 100% when open so there’s still a metal deflector to knock debris down

[@hammer1bad]

I have had the KAVLI BLADE. I’m not very impressed with them.

[@franciskersher8576]

$300 shipped is a bit too pricey for what they are.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I was really excited by the design but I pretty much agree with you

[@codyprice5662]

I couldn't help myself you say you like John Deere I'm a farmer and I hate to say this it breaks my heart John Deere is not a good company anymore you buy $500,000 combine or tractor and they will not give you the codes to work on it

[@mogeking56]

Are you looking at me or the donkey 🫏 eating 🍽️ the pie 🥧 sitting on the tractor 🚜🧌😬🙄🫣

[@garynickel648]

A DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER of the meg mo, my 52 inch deck standard blades are 18 inches, they sent blades 17 3/4 inches they leave streak in semi heavy grass, DRY, we have not had any rain for 5 weeks. Probably usless in wet grass. Recontacted them all I get is ALL SALES FINAL.

[@charlesstewart8129]

I have to agree with you. I am very Dissatisfied with my Meg-Mo Blades, I cut 12 acres and these blades are dull and the lift wings are almost worn into, after just one cutting. I complained and was sent a list of things to try and make them last longer but as of right now the Meg-Mo Blades last half as long as my standard high lift blades that I get 2 to 3 cuttings before sharpening. These were a complete waste of time and money. No way possible to recommend these to anybody, there junk!
