RegL,

I am in the same boat as you. Small grass cutting and yard care business. I have a John Deere F525 and I cut without the guard installed. I bought the machine this way but I would not use it if it was installed. The grass throw pattern is much more dispursed and neat looking without it. With the guard installed and down, it causes the grass to be clumped up and messy looking. The Gatorblades and MegMow blades are supposed to reduce this if not eliminate it, but I am not paying their prices for blades when I have blades that get the job done with out the guard. Mind you I am VERY careful around people and cars and shut the mower down if there is a possibility of hitting anyone or a car on the road. Common sense and care must apply.
