The ripper blades are designed for mulching. You should use the High Lift for mowing.

[@markmiles9581]

So these blades will last 15 mowing days at most? Not a very good return on you're money.

[@Orefamilylawncare]

So basically the gold blades have too much lift and are being sand blasted it sounds like.

[@tankslawnmaintenance5230]

I had the same happen with a set of ballard hi rise(high lift) blades. The lasted 20 hours, and they were shot. This year.

test steel hardness rockwell. marbarin are hardest

[@christopher_001]

My gold set only has about 25 lawn cuts(some lawns 10min up to 50min) on them so far with 1 time sharpening in-between so their pretty new, they seem pretty good so far. Time will tell for me how long they last. The razor blades I put over 150 lawn cuts on and I could still use them and have them as a backup. I would definitely buy the razor blades again.

[@glennanderson5335]

I have the Ripper blades on my mower now and I like them. I will be using them in the fall with the X-Blade system on my mower. I normally use the Razor blades for grass cutting. Good video

[@rooster3019]

WOW! I have yet to wear out the lift portion of a blade. I am in fescue country and probably gut a lot higher than you and folks cutting urban lawns. Our soil is clay with shale and iron ore and some sand, but I cut well above ground level. Now, I do hit a rock or two on occasion. Ventrac commercial blades have long life.

[@user-ks2jt4fp8p]

I use the gold ones. The give the best cuts especially in wet grass.

[@dustinsaraharnold9489]

I wonder if using these blades with the x blade adapter would yield better results in terms of cut quality and longevity?

[@barnyard27]

Just ordered the gold hybrid blades for my Hustler Xd 54". Thanks for the video!

[@ross8425]

Awesome to hear these are good for bermuda. Thanks for the vid

[@user-ei9cz2uj8b]

Which Ballard blade do you feel decimates the grass clippings more, the Gold hybrid or the Ripper blade? I'm in Rhode Island and like you, I'm also running the Green Guard Chute blocker. My goal is to create the smallest grass clippings possible and minimize any amount of double cutting. Would you recommend X blading the Gold hybrid blade?

[@mrme9517]

Nice review however they claim these gold blades were supposed to be tough yet they lasted the least but i will try the x blade setup with their standard razor blades I'll see how they work thanks that kept me from getting the gold and wasting the money 🎉🎉

[@JohnMurrayOP]

RUclips recommended this video to me, and I am curious about why the blade is designed this way and what mower you are using it on.

nine months later what are your thoughts?
