why do you need the blades sharp ?? my local garden center has a box full of mountfield blades and is itching to sell them.

Well, I dont know why they need to be sharp? Just that a few folks have said to me that they need sorting. It works well enough for me with some control, I think I have answered my own question there haven't I. Maybe I will carry on with it till they fall off! Prob' could sharpen the blades myself, if I had the patience. Thanks guys.

the  ground does not mind how sharp your blades are, your engine if 3 hp or more wil cope just point it at the garden and go for it  :x

the reason you are being told you need the blades sharp is because your local garden centre has a box full of them.
if they're worn down, thats something else entirely.
the blades on a rotovator are self sharpening be default, as they are worn away by the soil
