Question:
I have an RZ4623. The outside of the blade(s) (where it is scooped) frequently catches on roots, etc. and bends the blade. Can I buy blades that have straight edges (i.e. no scoop on the end) or can I cut off the scooped portion of the end? I'm running the deck pretty high up but still running into this problem fairly often ... and of course once the blade is bent it tears up my lawn pretty much before I notice what's happened.

Hi George,
Sounds like you are mowing VERY low and or the tree roots stick up considerably in your yard. My mother in law has a couple of giant oak trees that have massive tree roots sticking up. My father in law mows at what I like to call "worm burner" height. I can't tell you how many blades I've changed. Oh and he has gone through four push mowers in the last sixteen years because after the umpteenth time of hitting the roots it destroys the engine.
I do wish there were additional anti-scalp wheels for our RZ4623's (Nose and right rear).
