a crisp, clean cut... every time
Each Buhler Farm King mower features three high-speed blades with
one of the highest rated tip-speeds in the industry. This creates pow-
erful suction that lifts the grass for a crisp cut. A blade overlap of 1 5/8"
to 2 5/8" prevents stripping and ensures the lawn is mowed evenly.
