Top 10+ Signs You Need to Check Your Lawn Mower Blade Sharpness
Mowing Areas Multiple Times
A dull mower blade can force you to make several passes in the same area. If this happens routinely, that's an obvious sign to sharpen or replace the blade.
The Blade is Dented or Bent
Sometimes the easiest way to tell if there's a mower blade issue is looking at the blade itself. Blades can get damaged over time. If there are any sizable dents or if the blade is bent, it needs to be sharpened or completely replaced.
Blade Pulls Up Chucks of Grass or Dirt
Rather than cleanly slicing through grass, a dull blade can not only pull clumps of grass from your lawn, but some dirt as well. The blade should always slice the grass, not pull.
