My 9 y.o. MTD walk behind mower just will not mulch at all and leaves lines
of clumped clippings everywhere I mow, for any cutting length greater than,
oh, maybe an inch or two.

Is this possibly remedied by getting a new blade and not simply sharpening
my old one over and over? I'm suspicious that my dremel tool sharpening of
the old blade is not maintaining the precise curve it once had. Does that
matter?

I may be getting a new mower---hence my companion post in this ng.

Very old classic: Three men check into a hotel: the
room is $25 for the night. They each hand the bellhop
$10 and ask him to bring back the change. When the
bellhop returns with the $5 change, the men figure it's
easiest math to give $1 back to each of them and leave
$2 to the bellhop as a tip. Now each man paid $9 for
a total of $27. The bellhop got $2, that makes $29.
What happened to the last $1?

sharp blades are a very important part of maintaining healthy lawns.

Snapper 21 inch self propelled. converts between side discharge,
mulcher or rear bagger. I've been running the Snapper now for 4
years in my lawn care business and the Snapper performs very very
well. they are expensive. like $579.00 and you can't buy one at
those crap stores like home depot or lowes.
