These blades tend to be less likely to gather dust than other types.      A blade with a low lift is suitable for sandy soil because it demands the least amount of power to operate. This type of blade doesn't cause a lot of dust to blow in the air and can last longer than other types of blades.      Blades for mulching and Gator possess more suction than normal blades, allowing them to cut grass clippings into smaller chunks that can be released or weighed. These blades are useful for lawn care companies that have customers who have different requests regarding handling the grass clippings. These blades are versatile but aren't as robust or durable as steel or carbide blades. They might require more maintenance including cleaning, balancing and sharpening.      They Mulch      A standard lawn mower blade creates a powerful suction across the ground that pulls up grass to cut it precisely. The suction can also draw up and circulates dust in the deck. This can result in an excessive wear and tear on the mower.      High lift blades, on the contrary, suckers up grass, accelerating it so that it can be easily discharged into a side discharge bag or chute. The blades are generally curved and have additional cutting surfaces along the edge for better mulching.      Selecting the right blade for your mower is essential for the best outcomes.

The suction generated by the blades lifts up the grass clippings and propels them into an auxiliary discharge chute to make it easy to dispose of them.      Low-lift blades are better suited to sandy soils, since they do not produce enough suction to lift grass. They're also more vulnerable to damage caused by rocks and other particles that can enter the mower when cutting.      All-purpose blades, or 2-in-1 standard blades are commonly found on lawn mowers with regular blades and also on those with rear bagging attachments.
