Any thoughts on the 5 blade cutting disc for the Husqvarna 430X? Does the extra two blades plus the larger size of the disc make a difference in the cutting? I’m using the mower on Tifway 419. I’ve had issues with the mower pulling or ripping the grass rather than cutting it. The mower also doesn’t cut the seedhead stems very well.
The five blade will not help the grab and pull problem with the cut is much better. Did you take the skid plate off and put the low cut kit own to mow lower? That is the usual problem with the tearing of grass.
I did run the fairway kit for a while but I’m back to the original cutting disc but without the skid plate. I have the skid plate off because it was hitting the blade screws when it was spinning. I need to replace the cutting disc and skid plate so I thought as long as I’m replacing it, I might as well try the 5 blade disc. I have moved up to 4 on the HOC which I think is 35mm or 1.378 inches and there is very little pulling.
Definitely go with the five blade then for sure. My opinion. I would be interested to hear your opinion moving forward on which is better at the current setting – skid plate or no skid plate.
