I just picked up my new mower. In spite of all the documentation warning against cutting yourself on the rotor blade I was surprised by how dull the cutting edge really was. The unit works great but it seems to me that the blade is more like breaking off the growth rather than cutting it. The stock blade has about a 45° bevel on the outer ends of the blade. The bevel doesn't come to a point on the leading edge but rather leaves about a 1/16th of an inch blunt surface on the leading edge? I guess my question is will the blade perform better if I file the leading edge to a nice crisp pointed edge? Or is there some reason not to put a sharper edge on the blade?

Tree). I trim once a year and the branches are typically in the 1" or less range. I don't want to strip the leaves and smaller branches from the larger branches and feed seperately into two seperate hoppers! If I feed the 1" branches complete with smaller green branches and leaves, into the chipper hopper, will the material also automatically be fed through the swinging hammers of the shreader and be shreaded?

I would like to put three or four of these hooked to a 3/4 inch garden hose being supplied from a 1 1/2 hourse power submersible pump pumping 15 gallons a minute so that I can water two rows of orchard trees and grass. covering 100 to 200 lineal feet of area. Also what is the diameter of the sprinkler water circle?

Whether the grass is short or long the two circular blades will not continue to rotate. With short grass I cut but 3 small trees and the blades are frozen. I am driving 5 - 9 miles an hour in second gear in 4 wheel drive with a 2013 Honda Forman 500. The trees are about the size of my thumb and the grass has just started to grow on land that was pastured last year till fall. The circular blades are set to pass a single sheet of paper without cutting it but does have drag. The head is lowered with a winch and does float on the ground. What am I missing?
