Interesting comment about 3 to 5 blade recommendation. Correct me if I’m wrong. 1 blade's serviceable life is Y hours, which is in accordance with the amount of grass 1 blade can cut. Therefore wouldn’t the service time of the blades be increased? 3 x Y=3Y vs 5 x Y=5Y
Depends on the type of grass and the conditions. In our area blades don't last as long in the spring because the grass is thicker and usually wetter due to all the rain. In the summer it gets dryer and we can have a few weeks without a decent rain. During the dry time the blades last longer.
Hi, thanks for this information, I can't nuy them from you though as I am in the UK and shipping etc, can you give part numbers so I know I have the upgraded discs for the 430X please. Bob UK
The smaller skid plate flexes less than a large one. So with longer blades and the original larger skid plate there's more tendency for the skid plate to flex and rub the blade screw heads.
Installed these on my 430XH today. Will see how much improvement with the cutting that I see
Thanks, good tip, my 430x will be getting the upgrade.
Glad we could help!
Can you tell me what size the new screws are? I’m not in the US and so sadly can’t buy from you! Thanks 🙏
Hello will the No2 fit the 2017 - 105 ?
Do we need to use the Endurance blades with this upgrade? And what are endurance blades anyway? I presume they last longer somehow.
No, you can use the standard blades if you want. Here's some info about the Endurance blades: th-cam.com/video/6XESi9zF7UQ/w-d-xo.html
What measurements in milimeters of new one and old cutting disc and plate? What is the difference ?

Good video Dwight!! I will contact you about getting one for mine.
Will this work (and fit) on a 315?
No, this is only for the 430, 450, 520, and 550 variations of Automowers
how much is a cutting motor?
Here is a direct link to the cutting motor for a 430, 450, 520, 550. www.roboticmowerservices.com/product-page/motor-assy
I'm kind of pissed. Bought a 450x in may 2023, finding out now it's a 2019 model.
How do you get the automower so clean?
How often do you have to replace the blades? I imagine conditions or grass type makes a difference?
3 times a season or when the blades show wear is what i practice
weekly. bad grass
Why not just get someone to make longer blades
