    And I can tell you either don’t mow much or your lawn looks like shit.

    Gotta thatch once spring rains stop, special blade. In the height of summer when the grass is growing inches every week, you need a high lift blade so you can attach a bagger. Fall brings & early spring brings on a mulching blade.

    If you don’t sharpen your blade you get jagged brown tops and your blade isn’t staying sharp all season long.

    Maybe get some real life experience before commenting.

      I mow plenty, everything gets mulched. I do adjust the deck height so the lawn is 4 1/4 inches tall in the summer and work it shorter by half an inch a cut until it’s under 3 inches on my last mowing. You can try gate keeping lawn mowing to be consistent with whatever fairly tail you got yourself committed to telling but that doesn’t make it real.

        Gatekeeping?

        Man I’m just here providing some insight to a culture that other people aren’t exposed to on a daily basis. I literally get paid to get people excited about mowers. You’re the one rolling up being a dick for no reason.

        All of the products exist for reasons. Features have reasons. If everyone just sat on their mower and went full send then there wouldn’t be multiple speed settings in the first place.

        If you wanna vanilla out the experience for yourself, you should very much do as you please. But don’t try to play off that any of my information was incorrect just because your mowing is basic.
