Hi Dougie. Tried that HRX out yet? We have used non gen blades for years wherever they are available. Can't see any difference at all.
Hi peter i havent tried it out yet i wont be using it until april time was just ordering service parts for it and the honda blades were about £90 and the after market ones were about £30 was wondering if there any difference if they might last longer
Dougie we can't tell any difference, our mowers are doing a lot of commercial work on some very rough ground and depending on how many stones they hit non gen will last the best part of a season. As non gen are relatively cheap we usually replace rather than sharpen, when they are new they obviously have gen blades and they don,'t last any longer than non gen.
....... can't you just sharpen the old blades? If sharpening, I recommend putting the "chamfer" on the bottom rather than the top of the blades. They stay sharper much longer and it doesn't appear to effect collecting/cutting performance...... give it a go
