re: Zero Turn Maintenance?

I mow 1.5 acres and rotate 2 sets of blades sharpened annually. I sharpen the blades with an 60 grit flap disc attached to an angle grinder. It takes a couple minutes to sharpen all 3 blades on my mower.

To change the blades, I use a pair of aluminum ramps similar to these that I use to load a 4 wheeler in the back of my truck. I setup the ramps on my tailgate and drive the mower just onto the ramps just far enough to lift the front end so I can easily access the blades.
