I mow about weekly from April 15th to October 15th, that's around 28 times preseason. Each mowing takes 1 1/2 hours (front and back), so I mow around 42 hours per year. I sharpen the blades at the start of the season and at mid-season or so, meaning I sharpen the blades every 21 hours, give or take.
I'd like to hear how that compares to others. I've heard that some businesses sharpen blades daily, which seems extreme. I've tried checking the blade but it never really looks sharp to me. Feedback, please. Is every 21 hours soon, late or average?
