Leaf blades

[JimP2014]

Hello I wonder if anyone sells a mower deck blade which is designed for leaves.

So it would be a blade that basically starts out parallel to the ground and then rotate to 90°.. could even be made out of carbon fiber or some type of very high strength plastic snot designed to cut grass it's only designed to blow leaves through the discharge chute of a mower deck. I've seen traditional mower deck blades some are labeled ultra high lift sometimes they're mulching blades but they are essentially conventional mower deck blades so I'm thinking something completely different.

Gator blades.

Thank-you Tiger. So either mulch them up very fine or get a backpack leaf blower and move them intact to someplace else. No other choices here. I was hoping to use the power of say 19HP from the riding mower to do what a 4HP backpack leaf blower can do. I thought those were about $1000 but it seems for under $200 it is possible to get a gas powered leaf blower that is not a toy. So far in my research I think this is true.

Thanks,
Jim

Just note mulch up leaves will feed your lawn as they decay over the winter months.

I agree with you. I watch people that have to pick up the grass clippings and then wonder why even after hiring "green grass specialists" that put the nittrogen back into their lawn, they end up with a lawn that is not as green as mine. And I do nothing to it. It is funny. Not that I care about having a green lawn.

Well currently my lawn is nearly dead from the lack of rain so it is definitely not all that green. It is raining all around me but just keep skip my area. The only currently that look healthy is the weeds. All got a few drops yesterday while I was relaxing laying on the lawn under a tree. Plenty of thunder but no rain per say.

I been only cutting it every two or three weeks just to keep the seeds down to let it be a little taller to shade the roots. The next door guy cuts his every week and it is basically dormant now like the middle of the winter and huge dust clouds while he mows.

Yes same here another drought this summer. I have such a neighbor ( OCD and other oddities ) that learned last summer not a good idea to create a dust storms. Very amusing to watch.

So I wish someone would invent something like fan blades for a mower deck so it would be a typical mower deck blade but as you go out towards the ends of the blade the surface rotates so that it looks like a fan and you would set your deck to the highest setting Mount those things and then blow the leaves instead of mulching them like typical mulching blades do it probably haven't to remove some of the hardware for the chute, on my lt2000 for example a plastic chute.

If those things existed I would spend 30 bucks for pair of 42-in I leaf blowing blades.

Or the other idea I had was to keep your existing blades on the machine and then you have this two-piece fan blade system that mounts to the existing mower deck blades + basically creates a blade that looks perpendicular to the existing mower deck blade so you would retrofit each blade with this bolt-on system.
