You cant go by hours for blade maintenance..too many things come into play and vary from application to application and location,unless you are doing the same lawn every week in the same condition,in that case I would say every 10-15 hours lol
You are spot on. However, amassing data under all conditions, etc should yield values that make up a normal distribution (bell curve). With that data one can make predictions that occasionally may be useful to an individual or a population. For example, you buy a mower and the manual states to change the oil at x number of hours. That recommendation was based on data collected and statistically examined. The value they report in the manual is targeted to give the engine (I assume) optimal life. However, they almost always state something to the effect that if working under dusty conditions, etc. change the oil sooner, change the filter sooner, blah, blah, blah.
In my mind there is value to the data. Hence my reason for starting the thread.
I thank everyone for their thoughtful post so far. Very interesting.
