No, I haven't, but most people say their chainsaw chains are very good.

My guess is they'd have no problem making mower blades.

I use Oregon bars and chains on my chainsaws and find them to be every bit as good as anything else. For that kind of money I'd be willing to take a chance.

I use Oregon blades on my SCAG zero turn mower.

Not running them currently because I haven’t had to replace the blades that came on my T. Have used them in the past on previous mowers. Seemed to be of good quality and held up well.

I've had super good luck with their chains for my saw.

Great quality.

Been using G6 Gator mulching blades for several years. Very happy with them and IMO they're better than Kubota blades. Also use their chainsaw blades and very happy with them, too, but I don't cut anywhere near as much wood as I do grass.

They make excellent saw chain and weed wacker lines. I’m sure their blades are good too.

Skeets - like @DustyRusty asked…mower blades?

I’ve used the Oregon Gator G6 mower blades for a while.

Not a huge fan, but like them. Cheaper than OEM as I recall.

Also really stout and hold an edge better than OEM in MHO.

I also use a couple different Oregon chainsaw blades and chains…. Don’t think that’s what you were after…..;)

Oregon makes one hell of a good blade balancer, and you can't beat the quality of its blade sharpener equipment. The only negative thing you can say about either is that the prices are extremely expensive. Did I mention that I have an Oregon helmet for when I cut tree limbs? I don't think so, but it is extremely comfortable and it will save your eyes when the chips start flying. I am not certain how well it will protect my head if the tree falls on it, but at least they can say that he died wearing an Oregon helmet.

Yep, use the same on my Zero Turn and LandPride Finish Mower.

They are good quality blades.

I have been using Oregon blades on all of my mowers for many years and I have never had a problem with any of them. They are high quality steel and are better than the Kubota OEM blades that came on my RCK54 mower.

When I say I’m not a huge fan of the G6 blades, it’s more about mulching grass.

They do a very good job on leaves.

They are more stout and hold an edge better than OEM IMO. I don’t see myself using anything else.

Not sure, but think they’re cheaper than OEM also.

Thanks guys,, but I dug a bit deeper and found out that the BX blades and the b blades are not the same... The BX blade have a 7/8 hole and the blades for the B have 1 1/8 hole in the blade sooo that sucks

Have been using the G6 fusion blades on my BX for years. Better cut then Kubota blades and the fused carbide makes them go a season without sharpening on 7 1/2 acres I mow.
