Thanks for the explanation. I hope that things do pick up in the spring for you so you don't have to close.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. There are pluses and minuses to mulching vs. side discharge. I have had mowers that do not mulch well - and I agree that, with them, the clippings deposited in clumps on top of the turf can be problematic. However, it is not a problem with my current mower...

"...Honestly it is looking like I am going to close my business because of the dictator in Washington. I lost over half of my normal business because of him..." Sorry to hear you might have to close. Lost half your normal business? What in particular caused that?

The two statements in quotes in my post were originally made by churchill in his post #24. I was agreeing with what I quoted. I think your comment is not universally true and would indicate some combination of the mulching being very course (perhaps due to tall or dense grass, mower travel...

"my mowing time is therapeutic for me" "Mulching really helps the grass in the long run because you're replenishing organic matter that helps add nitrogen back to your root zone. I watch neighbors bag their clippings and haul them away or have the trash company take them. Seems they spend as...

Regarding whacking the backside of a rim with a hammer, angle iron, or whatever to break it loose from the hub, I did that one time, and instead of the rim breaking loose, the retaining ring on the tip of the axle rod in the gear inside the transmission pulled out of its groove - so the entire...

On the two comments about mowing slower when mulching, here's a tip: Having two blades on the spindles allows faster travel speed without sacrificing cut and mulching quality. I am a DIYer, so I don't have the depth of knowledge of you pros, but I know that all but the base model EGo mowers...

I'm going off topic here, but that reminded me of when I was the driver in the Navy for a captain who was over two training fields (Whiting and Ellison near Milton, FL) - one of which was for Bell helicopter pilot training at the time. One morning, got called with the captain to a crash site at...

Glue silica gel packets under your deck. 🤣

FYI - though you're correct about most electrics, including the Ego's, my Ryobi zero-turn has 3 blade speeds. But I always keep it on the highest blade speed for best quality of cut (better lift and mulching) with minor impact on battery charge run time. I also added the dual...

Does your Ego model have Ego's Select Cut™ Multi-Blade Cutting System? This is two blades on the same axis/spindle/motor (the two blades in an X pattern), which makes a much finer cut - chops (mulches) the grass blades up even shorter than with single blade. It also greatly reduces the...

Someone asked me one time if I smoked after ***. I told them "I don't know - I never looked".

soifitypelikethisthatwouldbeokbecausethis isn'tanenglishclassit'salawnmowerforum? Seriously - it makes it easier for the reader to understand what you're saying. A little extra effort on your part so 10 or 15 people don't have to spend the same extra effort each to read it. Also, there are...

A personal request: When you post, please use sentence punctuation and capitalization. Not readily knowing where sentences end and begin makes it more tedious to read and understand, and increases likelihood of confusion about what is being explained. Thanks.

On the "D5" Stihl screw thread designation, I think you're past needing the information, but I tried to find an answer out of curiosity. I couldn't find a clear definitive explanation, but it appears Stihl bolt part numbers starting with "D" are self-tapping screws typically used for...
