Re: swing back blades on the ZTR
Gee they are hitting you hard for the bar blades. I got a couple of sets of Stens for my Gravely (same company I think) for $32 each.
Not sure how you will go with the bolts. They are designed to be used with a D plate. If you add a D plate + the thicker bar you might run out of thread?
It wouldn't work on my 44" but I think your blades would be longer than mine. Where I'd have to have the hole with those blades is right on the step down of the bar blade so the swing backs wouldn't sit level.
Re: swing back blades on the ZTR
thats the price to buy them in oz, l'm buying them from US much cheaper but am only getting 20 hrs out of them in the sand - and, yep, they're Stens, l pay $210 for 12 blades inc postage .....$40 each here so $480 + post

Re: swing back blades on the ZTR
blades cut to size, don't have any drill bits that'll go through this stuff though....might try carbide masonry bits before dishing out for cobalt or proper carbide twist bits

Re: swing back blades on the ZTR
That should work, you might need to sharpen them with a grinder first and use plenty oil when drilling
Re: swing back blades on the ZTR
bought a cobalt bit, all done......won't fit them until l've done a couple of ferals first
