WoW Patrick :shocked: Does someone else get on your mower when you are gone and trim down the rock garden? I've never seen a blade damaged in that way with so little use. Well there was that one time I ran over the anchor from my Jon boat.
Listen, it can't hurt to rule out other possible problems. Your machine has a 3 year warrantee and I understand the blades do not fall under that but if it were mine I would take it too the dealer and have the machine checked for possible engine overspeed. I dunno, just tell them you think it is surging or something. If it came from a box store you will have to call them first and they likely have a local mower shop do their work. If you get that through, have them open full throttle and do a RPM check. If they find no problem, then take your $800 worth of wasted blades with you and show that. Is there a metallic sound coming from the deck when you mow?
