Landscaper's Edge has designed a patent-pending, new concept in mower blades - one that would enable
owner/operators to quickly and easily change just the cutting edges. The base of this new blade
will remain on the mower permanently, saving hours and hours of labor annually! 

Another key benefit is that the removable cutting edges can be resharpened many times, 
or simply replaced with new ones as needed!  


In prototype testing, our innovative blade reduces blade-changing time 
by more than 50% over conventional methods!


If our product saves as much time as we say it will, would you be interested in purchasing them?  

          Yes             No    
  
 If yes, how much would you be willing to pay for a blade that saves you 50% 

of your labor costs every time you change it? 
  $60.00        $50.00            $45.00          $40.00        $35.00

 Like most landscapers, we're sure you've invested alot of money in your mowers. 
To reduce wear and tear and extend the life of expensive mower deck drive components,
we've also designed a blade that includes an impact-absorbing component.
This feature may also reduce blade damage when encountering those unseen obstacles.


Would you have an interest in purchasing an impact-absorbing mower blade? 

 Yes    I'm not sure    No, its not important to me

Would you like to add any thoughts about this feature?




For those that don't mind replacing a conventional blade, but would like an easier way to sharpen it,
 we're in development of what we feel to be an excellent on-the-mower blade sharpener. 
Our patent-pending design is simple, robust, portable, and rechargeable, and can be used on-site if desired.

A key feature of our sharpener is that it will sharpen each end of the blade equally, 
helping to maintain a balanced condition at all times (unless the blade is bent, of course).

NOTE: Our unique sharpener can only be used with blades designed to accept it.
When converting, our blades will cost about the same as comparable high-quality replacement blades.


Would you be interested in a mower blade sharpener as described above? Yes    No
