Anyone had a mulching blade snap?

They are cheaper at £10-£12 vs £23 for the stihl ones but the stihl ones only come with a 20mm centre hole so they are no use whatsoever to me. Unless Stihl start making these blades with the more common 25.4mm centre holes then I can't switch brands.

 

 

Stihl do 2 sizes 👍🏼

And where have you found the stihl ones for 23? There even £33 on ebay

FR Jones do them just over £18 with VAT included then delivery on but if you order few bits then should save on delivery charge

I normally use fr Jones, but after I bent my Oregon one the other day I needed one that day, was £33 at my local 😳.

Local dealer, but a quick search online shows FR Jones, Radmore Tucker & L&S engineers are all cheaper still, probably more places too if I looked harder.

 

I have only ever seen 2 different Stihl branded mulching blades neither has a 25.4mm centre hole.

4000-713-3903 270mm length with 20mm centre hole

4000 713 3902 320mm length with 20mm centre hole

Yep Local dealers always charge more as they Know you want it there and then, i always keep a spare new one i know it means spending more in short term , but in long term saves you money and most importantly keeps you working to get the job Finished

Just ordered 4 2 tooth Oregon mulching blades (25.4mm centre hole with reducer bushings to take them down to 20mm as required for certain Stihl & Makita machines) from Amazon for £30 they were £10 each with free delivery but also had a cheapest item free offer when buying 4 or more items from amazons home & garden section (offer ends at 23:59 on Sunday, December 20, 2015). That works out at £7.50 each.

They also stock the Oregon 3 tooth mulching blades at £16.67 each which is a better price than my local dealer offers.
