I'm getting ready for haying. I've been tedding and baling for a few years now. This year I also have to do the cutting. So I have a new drum mower to figure out.
I can't seem to find replacement blades that are exactly like the blades that come with the mower. The official replacement blades are out of stock. (We might be seeing a lot of that these days
)
Each drum has 4 blades, let's say North, East, South and West (N E S W). My thought is that if my replacement blades are slightly different than the original blades, if I have to replace a blade, I should also replace the opposite blade to keep the drum balanced. So if E goes bad, I should replace E and W.
Does that make sense?
Has anyone actually gone thru this?
Thanks.
