One of the First Mowers Produced With The Meg-Mo Blades. |
Ok so I've had
them on my 72" Iron JD for about 3 weeks and I like them. My
operator tells me that the clippings are much smaller than with the
mulching blades I had on there. So I immediately ordered a set for
my Toro 580D(16 feet) ... that's eleven blades, quite a bit more $$
than standard but worth every penny. The wind from under the decks
is unreal, clippings are ejected quicker & yet 1/4 of the size than
with the older blades. They have no nicks or gouges out of them
after hitting all kinds of rocks and seem to stay sharper longer and
faster to sharpen when they do need it. I also got a set for the
Walker 42" with much the same results there. I'll be taking delivery
of a JD WAM 1600 (11 ft) soon & will be ordering a set for it as
well. Roy was able to get my order out quick even though he was out
of some disks so I was pleased with the service. In the end they are
3 times as much as a mulching or high lift blade but in my opinion
well worth the added $$ for all the above reasons. So there's my
long winded observations ....
Cheers .... Geo |

Ok Roy; This
is the second cutting on my 6hp Deere rider and I only needed half
throttle once the little engine got the Meg-mo up to speed. After
that it was Katy bar the door. My only complaint is when I left the
blade engaged, lowered the throttle to idle and got off the mower to
open the garden gate, it looked like the mower was doing a belly
dance. So I won't keep doing that. The extra blades arrived ok. Also
the Meg Mo doesn't kick up as much dust as the regular Deere blades
do.
Thanks again,

Hi Roy -
I need blades for Toro 580 D and also my Walker 42 in GHS. The ones
you sent me last week for my 72 in John Deere work great.
Cheers,

Good evening
Roy,
I am one of your past satisfied costumers. I last ordered about 2 or
so years ago.
I own and run a CIC/resort in northern Minnesota and these blades
work great for the often long wet grass we are faced with around the
lake. My blade speeds stay more consistent and do not get any
windrowed clumps of grass compared to when I use standard John Deere
blades. The clippings just BLOOOOWWWWWW away!
Thank you and have
a good weekend.

| Roy, The
season is off to a great start with no need to double cut lawns,
these blades deliver a uniform cut every time. Bottom line they are
saving me gas and time! Thanks!

| I had an 84
inch rear discharge Woods mower I had bought in 2002. I spend the
next 3 to 4 years very disappointed with the mowing performance of
this mower. I saw your display at the Louisville, KY farm show and
instantly thought this product could help with the performance of
this mower. I installed these a year ago to mow my 5 acre property
and the difference was more than I could have asked for. I would
recommend this product to anyone. I ordered another set this year
for my other mower a Kubota. Thanks again! |

Roy,
I received my meg-mo blades Monday, put them on that night. It was
raining yesterday morning, when I got off work I put them to the
test. A++. My 50" dixie chopper has never cut so good so fast
and ran so smooth. NO build up under the deck with semi-wet grass
and it cut so easy that it seemed the motor was under no load
at all. I will never put a regular set of blades back on my
mower!
Thank you

| Good Morning
Roy,
I can't begin
to tell you how nice it's been talking with you over the past 10
years. I consider you not only a client but a close friend as well.
I was emailing to let you know that I received the blades, and as
you know this is my second set in the past 5 years. I have to
sharpen the first set and don't want to be without the blades on the
mower while I'm trying to find time to do it. These blades are truly
the best. They mulch so well that I can fit so much more in my
baggers, which in turn is less trips to the mulching pile. This is
so true in the fall with all those leaves. I can't thank you enough
for turning me onto your product. I think every lawn care business
should have these on every mower, even better every mower
manufacture. Except reel mowers of course. The blades are so easy to
take on and off, which is great for everyone. You have a great
product Roy, I'm glad that I can be apart of spreading the news.

| Meg-Mo
Blades... So far so good...
I bought a set of Meg-Mo's
to go with my new mower, a Redhawk 36" cut dual hydro. I got them a
couple of weeks ago (which was ~3 weeks after I ordered them).
When I tried to
install them I found that my bolts would not fit through the hole,
Roy offered to take them back and drill bigger holes but I found a
metal worker friend to do it using an end mill.
I typically
need to cut every 3~4 days this time of the year but I've been very
busy this spring and have been cutting every 6~7 days. So I've been
cutting some heavy growth. With mower set at ~3 1/4" cut and I have
been taking 3~4" off in many spots. The last time I cut was exactly
1 week ago. A great test for the Meg-Mos... I installed them last
night and tried them today.
First, with the
regular high lift blades + side discharge shield on, I had been
getting quite bit of clumping is spots cutting every 6~7 days.
So off I go
with the Meg-Mo's today... First, when the blades are engaged with
the throttle low, there is a bit of a metal banging sound as the
blades come up to speed (should I be concerned about this?), as the
throttle is moved to high, the blades speed up and start making a
helicopter/vacuum sound. The mower vibrates slightly more (vs High
Lifts).
I'm happy to
report that with the Meg-Mo's there is virtually no clumping (just a
little bit in the really heavy areas). With the discharge shield
down, the clippings still disperse quite well (2~3 rows over).
Overall a much cleaner cut with the Meg-Mo's. The grass was for the
most part dry but high in moisture content as it rained quite a bit
last night here.
I did notice
that some clippings were longer than what I've seen other members
report (posted pics), but there were clippings left on the lawn from
the last time I cut that I didn't completely disperse with the
blower. I'm wondering if it's not these that the Meg-Mo's are
throwing around...
After I cut, I
jacked up the deck and checked it out. There was little/no build up
under the deck. So overall, the first cut went well.
Keep in mind
that I'm a homeowner and I can cut pretty much under favorable
conditions (not while it's raining or when the grass is excessively
wet). For me the Meg-Mo's seem to be operating as advertised. The
next several cuts should tell for sure. |
Hey Roy,
I appreciate the email. I found the problem to the rooster tail. I
did my routine mower deck belt inspection last night, and saw that
it was cracked. It was just a coincidence that as soon as I put your
blades on, the belt started skipping a bit. I replaced the belt last
night and the cut is now perfect. In fact, I mowed my biggest
account that I usually have to mow on 3.5" so I don't have to
double-cut due to it's thickness, but I was able to get it down to
3" with no clumps or anything. Great product. I will be recommending
to all of my friends with lawn care companies and even my relatives
who only mow their own houses. Thanks again.

| I have your
blades on my Simplicity 42" triple-spindle deck. They are awesome.
The results and time-savings are great. Highly recommended!
Randy Tracy |
| Got the blades
shortly before mowing season and have now cut four times. I am
pleased to say you represented your product accurately. My 618
Grasshopper mows better than before the blade switch. I took the
Grasshopper to my dealer last week for a minor repair and he loved
the blades. I suspect he may contact you in effort to establish a
local distribution agreement (Busenbark Lawn Equipment in
Brownsburg, IN). I will enjoy spreading the word. Thanks for a good
product.

Hey Roy . . .
.
Yesterday the temperature here reached the high 70's! I got the new
blades installed with two spacers and new thin lock-nuts. So . . . I
cranked up the mower and cut the yard!
You can certainly tell a difference when you put the blades in
motion. I start them at an idle and they did some clinking until I
got the speed up. The sound of the blades at operational speed is
more of a "hum" rather than a "roar". The real difference was in the
actual cutting. Even though my Fescue grass wasn't very tall, I was
able to cut about a half to one inch in most places. WOW! It
pulverized the cuttings! I had some small pine cones that had laid
out all winter and it cut them into dust! Also, there were some oak
tree leaves drifted up near my back fence. One swipe and nothing but
dust!
I could not tell if the "wheel track" issue has been affected or not
. . . I'll need to wait until the grass is taller and more even to
tell. But for the time being . . . I'm happy with what I see!
One question . . . If is increased the engine "high idle" (operating
RPM) a bit . . . would that be beneficial? I don't know what normal
operating RPM is on that engine and blade system but it doesn't seem
to be too fast. What do you think?
THANKS!

your blades for a few years now. They do an excellent job. The

Hi Roy,
This the first of 2 emails
My application is on an Excel Hustler model 305 0 turn with a 72 in
cut right side discharge. All blades rotating the same direction. I
cut both finish lawn and fields. This machine cuts about 18 acres
each complete cut. Since this unit works so hard it has been
repowered with a 4 cyl. Kubota diesel of about 40 hp. Using this new
blade system the engine load has been reduced by almost half. The
cut is very clean on the grass and I am able to let the grass grow
longer between cuts with no sacrifice in quality of cut. When I cut
the fields short with johnson and saw, and nut grass mixed in with
the normal field grass I always left trails of the tall grasses
standing up. It looked very sloppy and either I had to cut more
often before the fields grew high, or I had to make a 2nd pass going
slow.
NOW, I make one pass at the same speed and get a clean cut with a
lot less load on the engine. We have 2 more hustlers of the same
type and size which I plan to change over this winter when we
rebuild the mower decks.

Mr. Megli
I saw your video and thought “You can only kick a dead horse for so
long.” So I got a set of your blades and I admit, I had my
reservations, but with your guarantee I thought I couldn’t lose,
especially with my 8hp cub cadet rider. Your blades arrived in
a timely manner and were very easy to install. The first thing
I noticed was that the meg-mo blades were quieter. I usually
wait till late morning to cut the grass, when the dew burns off a
bit, that way I don’t clog up the grass catcher or leave big clumps
in the yard. Well I headed out at 7:30 am…….Full speed ahead
in dew wet 6 inch grass. All I really need to say is WOW! I
have never seen my lawn cut so well EVER…Period!I’ll let the
pictures speak for themselves. My mower did not bog once. Your
blades pulverized (Mulched) the grass on the first pass. No Lumps No
Clump and No Clogs like with the regular blades. The even, clean cut
was amazing. I believe I have made my neighbor jealous. He’s out
there now looking over the fence quack’n about my yard. He doesn’t
know I have your blades on…Yet.
Thank you and have a Great Day!

Mr. Megli,
Please feel free to post my testimonial.
And for those who read this….
You are really not cutting your grass unless you have a set of
Meg-Mo Blades on your mower.

| Roy,
We currently own
two John Deere 1600T mowers which we use to mow our rough and other
areas around the course. We have been unhappy with the quality of
the cut using our standard blades. We decided to give the Meg MO
System blades a try. The very first morning we put them on, the turf
was wet and long due to recent rains. We immediately realized that
the Meg MO blades left very little clumps from the wet turf compared
to our other mower which mower which we left our standard blades on
for comparison. We also noticed a cleaner, smoother cut. The other
immediate result we found was that the clippings were pulverized
much finer than our regular blades.
We were so
happy with the results of the Meg Mo blades that we just ordered a
second set for our other mower. We would highly recommend the Meg MO
blade system to anyone that desires a quality cut turf that reduces
clippings and at the same time produces a superior looking finished
product.

Dear Roy,
Just a note to
let you know how happy I am that I decided to give Meg-Mo™
Systems a try. It
is a pleasure to mow our lawn and it is a good-sized one, and to
know when the job is finished, the lawn looks great. My wife always
told me she didn't think the lawn had a nice clean-cut look to it,
when I was using our other blades, but with the Meg-Mo™
Systems, I hear no
complaints, only compliments on how nice our lawn looks. Thanks
again for a super product.
Yours truly,
Dale E. Grainger

just finishing up my third season with the Meg-mos. I love 'em. I run
them on my 28 year old Simplicity riding tractor, and the results are
beautiful. Everyone needs a set.

| Roy,
Your product is amazing! I have a new property which was cut out of a
dense woods. I destroyed a new John Deere 62" deck in one year. It
couldn't be straightened anymore. I have since bought a Skag 61" and put
a set of your blades on it. I have hit many stumps with them with very
little alteration of the cutting edges. Your blades stay sharp, don't
bend, and don't transfer impact energy to the deck with deck damage. I
am ordering a set for my replacement deck for the John Deere. Hopefully,
I will be able to keep its lighter weight deck flat with your blades.
Another amazing feature is the near total lack of grass debris. There is
no need to bag, and the clippings do not build up from week to week.
Thank you for marketing this wonderful product.

Your blades
get an A+++++ on annual ryegrass. I grow a lot of it in
Pinehurst during the cool season and it's never looked better
than it has since I started using your blades. One of the
biggest advantages to using your blades on annual ryegrass is
the fact that the clippings don't seem to stick as much to the
blade and the deck. Saves lots of time! I haven't used a
better mowing blade.
Thanks

I feel
the Meg-Mo blades are a good investment for several reasons.
-
I am getting a superior cut,
especially in tall or wet grass, and my cut is our first priority.
Before I stocked 2 sets of mulching
blades and 2 or 3 sets of hi-lift blades for both my 48" Hustler and
my 52" 23 hp Scag. Because the difference is in the disc and not
the knives, I now stock only 4 Meg-Mo knives for spares at only
$3.95 per knife.
I changed and sharpened my blades
every day or two before. I sharpened the Meg-Mo blades after 2 1/2
weeks and we mow about 110 properties a week.
These three reasons
are giving us better customer service and substantial savings in time
and money.

Roy,
I have two C AC tractors, both have been overhauled standard bore.
One has a Artsway 72 inch mower with a Meg-Mo System, the other one
has a 60 inch Woods without the Meg-Mo System . I can mow much
taller grass with the 72 Meg-Mo System, in fact I took both of them
to my crown vetch this morning, 4-22-01. the 72 inch Meg-Mo worked,
the 60 inch woods, with-out the system was a problem to say the
least, It just would not cut! That's why I sent you an e-mail prior
to this message to get a price and how to order the system for the
woods cutter. Any company that at least does not offer your system
as an accessory package with each mower they sell, just do not know
about these systems or are just plain missing the boat. I would not
have a mower without it . Roy, This is the best system I have seen.
Thank you.

I just mowed for
the first time with your blade system, & I still find it hard to
believe a set of blades could improve a mower so much! These blades
work GREAT. I will be ordering at least one & probably several more
sets soon.
Thanks for a
fantastic product. Frank

Folks,
Just a note to
let you know the disks I ordered earlier in the summer have been
serving me fine. They've proven to be far superior to the Sears
Craftsman blades even though they are installed on one of the worst
mower deck designs I've seen.
The disks cut
wet or dry grass however, the deck does plug up pretty bad with wet
grass (obviously). The blades do a fantastic job of pulverizing the
cut grass stems. My 2 acre lawn grows very fast due to a high water
table. It cannot be bagged unless conditions are very dry. When I am
able to collect the clippings and haul them to the woods, I am
amazed at how well the blades pick up the old clippings along with
the new ones. The system was well worth the bucks! Thanks for
designing Meg-Mo.
Sincerely,
Mike

| Roy,
I received your
blades today and immediately installed them on my
Snapper 42" Yard Cruiser. This is indeed an astonishing product and
lives up to everything your testimonials claim. It is wonderful to see
that fine spray of clippings
floating out of
the discharge chute and melting invisibly down into the turf. You
may
use this quote
if you wish.

Hi Roy,
Received my blades
yesterday and put them to the test today. Normally I have to wait
until the grass dries to start mowing. This morning I got up, put
the blades on, and cut before the dew was gone. I was amazed at how
the blades worked. The cut is so good even in the wet grass that I
mowed several yards before 10:00 which is my normal starting time.
Even though the tires on the tractor showed plenty of moisture in
the grass, my deck stayed spotless. You definitely have developed a
product that I wish I would have found years ago. I will be telling
all of the people I know about meg mow. My dad will be calling you
for a set of blades too. Fantastic product!!
Thanks Again,
Mark Molleck

Roy,
I got your mower conversion on Friday the 23rd of march. The
installation went very well and the mowing went GREAT!! Usually the
first mowing of the season is quite a challenge here in the Pacific
Northwest. We have lots of winter growth and heavy moss. The normal
procedure is to mow than mow again to sort of windrow the grass-moss
and then rake with a small wheel yard rake. Then I have to pick up
the grass and haul it off. With your Meg-mo setup all I did is mow
once. The clippings were cut much finer and spread out clump free.
Easy and a very nice job of cutting! I was so impressed I took the
mower out into a pasture that was not grazed for the last half of
last year. The thing still worked great. The dead grass was more
than a foot tall and laid down flat, in one pass it cut and mulched.
Wow! All this and less vibration and noise.
Thank you for the
great product.

I first saw
your cutting system at the 1998 Southern Illinois Grounds Maintenance
Conference and was, to be honest, a little skeptical. I decided on
trying your blades after reviewing your literature, the product claims
and doing a cost comparison of your product versus my traditional
replacement blades. I want to thank you for coming up with an excellent
and innovative cutting system.
My staff and I are responsible for maintaining approximately 4.5
acres of grass and woodland areas. With "seasonal or part-time"
employees that are extremely hard on the mowing equipment, causing a lot
of down-time and maintenance, I am always looking for ways to reduce the
need for repairs and increase productivity.
I found both when I bought your Meg-Mo System in August of 1998 for
the Yardman tractor that we operate. Since that time we have
accumulated approximately 200 hours of operation and there has been no
need to sharpen the [knives] nor have I had any blade or deck related
down time. Your Meg-Mo System does everything that you advertise it to
do.
Over the next several years I will be replacing all of my lawn
mowing equipment and intend to order the Meg-Mo System for each mower as
they are purchased. Again, thanks for a great product.

I do custom mowing and ordered a pair of discs last year for my
John Deere STX-38 mower, which I received in either Sept. or Oct. of
1998. I only had a chance to use the blades a short time but so far I'm
very impressed, especially because they don't clump or windrow, even in
wet grass, which I often mow. |

me from having to buy a new spindle after hitting a 10" diameter rock
which was hidden in tall weeds along some piles of fill dirt. The four
knives were demolished along with some minor damage to the disc. I am
convinced that had I been using the OEM blades, it would have bent the
spindle. Thanks for the great product!" |

which it could cut the grass. The next day my wife couldn't wait to try
the cutting discs out on some thick leaves in our front yard. We were
again amazed at the job it did and the speed at which she traveled. It
look like a yard that had been raked! We have ordered a second set of
cutting discs for our Homelite mower. We believe these discs will cut
our mowing time in half. We are satisfied customers!" |

"I use the (Meg-Mo™ System) on my 48" walker bagging mower. I
started to use the system for my fall clean-ups and have continued to
use it in my spring clean-ups. In the state of Wisconsin we can get
some really wet conditions. In the past, I have had trouble with the
wet, damp leaves, but not this year. I was able to go through 8" to 9"
grass and leaves and not have to worry about any type of clogging or
bogging down of my machine. By using this system, I was able to cut
down my clippings by 15 to 1. I've tried a lot of other systems out on
the market but none have been able to do for me what the Meg-Mo™ System
can do. If you need something to speed up your productivity especially
if you are dealing with wet, rainy conditions, I believe there is not a
better system on the market. It's the best investment I've made." |

Dear Mr. Megli,
Everyone knows where the lawn
mower works harder when mowing their lawns, so we were surprised to
notice any need for increased power in those heavy grass areas since
installing the Meg-Mo blades. The mower works easier and, since we use
the mulching kit, the clippings are cut so fine that there is no trace
of a residual trail of clippings. The long and short of it is that we
have been able to increase our ground speed, our cutting RPM's, getting
a clean mulching cut and allowing the engine to work easier, even in
deep grass, since installing the Meg-Mo system.
Thank you for a top
notch product.
Sincerely,
Robert Like |
