Lawn mower blades are key components that are responsible for effective and precise cutting of grass. Choosing the right blades and maintaining them regularly are essential to keeping your lawn in great condition and ensuring the longevity of your equipment.

Types of blades for tractor-lawn mowers:

Standard cutting knives:

Mulching knives:

• Function: They chop the grass into small pieces that remain on the lawn as a natural fertilizer.

Maintenance and replacement of knives:

• Regularly Sharpening: Lawnmower blades should be sharpened regularly to ensure a clean cut. Dull knives can tear the grass, which can lead to damage and disease. Sharpening can be done with a file, angle grinder or special knife sharpening tools.
• Inspection of knife condition: Regularly check knives for damage such as cracks, bends or significant wear. Damaged blades should be replaced immediately to avoid damage to the mower and ensure safe use.
• Replacing the blades: Blades should be replaced when they are too worn to ensure effective mowing. Knives should be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the new blades are appropriate for the model of your lawn mower.
• Cleaning: Clean your knives regularly after each use to remove any remaining grass and dirt. This prevents corrosion and ensures better mowing performance.
