The high lift on the Gator Mulcher draws the grass up, giving it a clean, even cut Other mulching blades push grass down, often resulting in an uneven, ragged cut. The high lift also makes using the Gator Mulcher in bagging operations an excellent choice. You get the look of a bagged lawn while reducing clippings by up to 5O%.
How do the teeth work?
While it may appear that the raised teeth are for cutting, they don't cut the grass at all. It is the angle of the tooth that produces the excellent mulching results. The teeth angle toward the center of the blade to redirect the airflow and push the grass clippings back over the cutting edge of the mower blade again and again. At a maximum blade tip speed of 19,000 FPM the same grass clipping moves across the cutting edge an average of 4 times, resulting in a superior mulch. The teeth on other mulching blades angle out-from the blade, directing the clippings away from the blade's cutting edge, resulting in much larger clippings.
Is the Gator Mulcher right for my mower?
On standard mowers, the Gator Mulcher works best on multi-blade decks, particularly when mowing into the discharge. Mulching adapter kits are not required. For single blade applications we recommend installing a mulching kit for best results, but you will see significant mulching action even without an adapter. Gator Mulcher blades will enhance the performance of any mulching mower, single or multi-blade.
Under what conditions will the Gator Mulcher perform best?
The Gator Mulcher works best when removing about an 1 1/2 in. of grass, however many cutters have had success in much longer grass. The Gator Mulcher also performs extremely well in sandy conditions. For fall leaf cleanup, nothing works better. Leaves are reduced to a powder, so bagging or vacuuming is not required.
How do I sharpen a Gator Mulcher blade?
The teeth on the Gator Mulcher do not cut the grass, so sharpening them isn't required. Simply sharpen your GatorMulcher as you would any standard mower blade.
Is there a Gator Mulcher blade for my mower?
We offer Gator Mulchers for both residential and commercial mowers specifically designed for the most popular mower applications.
What about blade quality?
Gator Mulcher blades are made in the U.S. from the finest American made high carbon 10B38 steels. The cutting edges are carbide milled for a super sharp edge. Every blade is fully heat-treated to a Rockwell C-scale hardness of 50 for optimum safety and durability, then straightened for a precision cut.
A blog consists of frequently, new posts or sometimes called articles, in reverse chronological order. So basically, the latest post appears first on a page. Plus, a blog allows for reader engagement. There’s usually a section at the bottom of the blog post for readers to comment and have further discussions with other readers.
Here are some tips for you to help you maintain an interesting, relevant and reader-friendly blog that adds real value to your websites.
1. DESCRIBE THE BLOG RIGHT, RIGHT FROM THE START
Think about what you’re going to blog about and write it down in a few short sentences. This description will help you stay aligned when you write posts and let your readers know what they to expect.
2. CREATE A SCHEDULE
Schedules work. They keep you on track and focused. They give you structure and goals. If you’ve ever run a race, you know that having a training schedule (and sticking to it) is critical to success. So set a schedule that works for you (publish a new post once a week, twice a week, once every two weeks) and stick to it.
3. OPTIMIZE YOUR BLOG FOR SEO
A huge incentive for adding a blog to your site is to have organic content that brings visitors to the site (without paying for them). When you add a blog to your site, you’re adding fresh content that can bring organic traffic, but only if search engines notice the content.
To ensure that your blog is optimized for search engines (SEO), add metadata to individual posts, alt text to post images, use keywords in the post title, and more. Take the time to fill in post descriptions (you’re automatically prompted to do) and make sure that all the new content you’re adding is put to good use.
4. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
Like many things in life, the more you do it, the better you’ll be. The best way of writing well is writing regularly. But this doesn’t mean you should start by writing for several hours every day. (That’s a sure recipe for burnout.)
Again, think about sport. If you start training for a marathon by running for 3 hours on your first day out, you’ll burn out quickly (and probably injure yourself). So practice moderation and set reasonable goals (for example, start by writing 500 words a day).
5. READ BLOGS TO WRITE BETTER BLOGS
There are hundreds of blogs that are all about blogging. Subscribe to a couple and read them on a regular basis. This can be part of the schedule mentioned in #2. Reading about writing is a great way to improve the quality of what you write.
6. WRITE FOR YOUR AUDIENCE
It may sound obvious, but it’s super important. Think about the people you want to reach and write specifically to them. If you have a website for a flower store, think about topics that visitors will be interested in. For example:
- This Month's Hottest Blooms
- What These 6 Flowers Mean
- Caring for Cut Flowers
- Tired of Roses? Consider These Alternatives
7. GIVE VALUE IN EVERY POST
People who read your posts deserve to get something out of them. Whether it’s tips, advice, case studies or personal stories, readers want to get something in return for the time they invest in reading. So choose topics that are relevant and write good stuff.
8. EDIT WHAT YOU WRITE (OR HAVE SOMEONE DO IT FOR YOU)
Though you may find it easy to write a blog post, that doesn’t mean you don’t need to review and revise it. Have a colleague or friend review every post before publishing. If you’re a one-person show or don’t know anyone who can look over your work, do it yourself a day or two after you finish writing. Don’t publish anything without reviewing it at least once.
9. PUT YOURSELF IN YOUR AUDIENCE’S SHOES
Think about the type of experience you want when you read a blog. Do you want a great title and fluff for content? Do you want a popup to appear as soon as you open the blog? Do you want to see the same blog content week after week, just with a different title?
Think about the things you like in your favorite blogs and try to emulate them in what you produce.
10. DON’T APPROACH YOUR BLOG LIKE A CRASH DIET
Crash diets are notorious for being unsustainable in the long term. Don’t let your blog be a crash diet. Think of it as a way of life, something you’re going to pursue for a long time. Something that’s fun and worth the investment.
If you stick to a healthy blogging approach, you’ll be able to look back on your posts after 6 months, 12 months and more and feel good about what you’ve written.
