Review: Son extremadamente buenas he usados otras marcas en mi cortacésped y estás a pesar de los excesos de monte muy grande se mantienen filosas e impecables les dejo un vídeo de mis excesos
Review: Bought these Tuesday, Got them Wednesday, Installed and mowed the yard with them. My old blades were Dull, were broken some on 1 end, tried sharpening and just wrote them off as a Hazard as they were unbalanced being broken on 1 side. They work GREAT. Nice smooth cut, seems to mulch up the grass pretty good, little flakes of grass blows out instead of long blades of grass cutting taller grass with it. So it's doing it's job as a mulching blade. So not, just to wait and see how well my grass looks after a few mows and rain fall to see if it makes my grass look more full. Great price for duel blades, was easy to install, I used my Car ramps and drove my mower up on them because I don't have a mower jack to raise it up so it was little more difficult for me to install because of cramped space but fit snug and works great. Highly recommend, I have a Poulan Pro and this blade will Fit on a Craftsman mower too 42" cut with the Star pattern.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I just got these blades for my craftsman LT2000 but I don’t know which side face down or how to install them in which side up or down?it matters**
A: Put the 3 pointed sides facing upwards towards the lawnmower that's what makes the grass fly up and get cut again when the blades are spinning

**Q: Do these work I have bags on my mower?**
A: The answer is a 100% no, anyone else saying yes doesn't know what their talking about, these mulching blades have Low/ Almost Zero  Lift on the blades so theirs no throwing power, to bag you need medium or high lift blades, these are. I have both a standard 3 system bagger and a yard vacuum we use in the fall for acorn/leaf pickup that sucks and mulches inside or simply sucks up stuff (acorns).

Bought the 42" set and tried them out on leaves, they pulverized as advertised much better then the yard vacuum grinds them up but their is no way to pick them up without actually powered suction. A bagger will get clogged halfway up the tube before it reaches the bagger. Again no lift blades = no bagger abilities.

**Q: Can you use these with a side discharge or do you 'have' to have the cover?**
A: My mower has side discharge and no cover and work just fine   these are good blades I have a Poulan 42" cut

**Q: The blades arrived but the center mounting holes are diffent on each blade. One has the star center hole and the other blade has a round hole.**
A: Sounds like they sent the wrong one they should both have the star center hole. Get replacements I love these blades have had them on for a year and still cut and mulch great.

Diese Messer halfen mir bei dem Umrüsten meines seitenauswurf-Mähtrakors zu einem Mulchgerät. Eine Abdeckung der Auswurföffnung war auch nötig. Ich würde die Messer weiterempfehlen.
