Anyone run the x blade adapters from Ballard Equipment out of Iowa? If so, what are you thoughts, pros and cons? [Linked Image]

I’m afraid it would cause to much stress in parts like spindle, belts and pulleys. I try and only run equipment that is under warranty so I’d also be afraid it would void any warranty as well

I run high lifts for just cutting grass but change out to a combination high lift/fader blade for mulching leaves in the fall. Never heard of anyone around here ever having a problem with spindles.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I wish I could trade in every 2 years or so so I'd be under warranty for most everything. But, my machine ( 60in. Exmark diesel) is a little too expensive for me to pay off in 2 years or pay down extremely low. I only have a part time business with 21 yards currently and have done another 6 or 7 besides my regulars.
