I am interested in this mower, will it cut St. Augstine Grass?

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.

Sorry, I can't answer your question. It I'd difficult to cut taller grass, but when you cut the grass regularly it works well. We're in Northern NJ, so we don't see a lot of St. Augustine grass.

I have no idea about St. Augustine grass, but it cuts our bermuda, blue grass, and various other grasses and weeds effortlessly (almost!) and silently (almost!). I am delighted with it!

It does seem that the motor is not a strong as it should be. It only cuts grass up to a short level. If you miss cutting for a period of time it will shut off. And this was in the first few months last year.

Not great. If it's too long it will push it down before it cuts it. If you have heavy dandelions, it doesn't do well either. I mow our lawn pretty regularly so this doesn't happen, but it is something to watch out for.

The lawnmower has difficulty mowing grass that is taller than a few inches, does not cut broad leaf weeds and it does not cut through anything fibrous like a grass seed stalk. The mower was easy enough to push around so perhaps it will go up a 30 degree slope but don't expect it to cut well.

Unfortunately I have not heard of that type of grass. I have a very small lawn with relatively thick grass. This machine did a wonderful job for me all last summer. It was extremely wet here in Ohio and rained a bunch. I chose to mow the lawn weekly at times to avoid the extra labor to get through really thick grass. I love this mower. The price was very reasonable and it does a great job.

It can and I use it to cut my fescue, but I wouldn't recommend it for that, especially if the grass is longer.

I'm sure it will, however, if this is a push mower, it may be easier to set the mower on its side and scrape with a putty knife or a mower deck scaler.

Husqvana makes Ariens and this blade states that will fit such mowers. Thank you for your question and please ask if have any other questions.

No, it probably won't sharpen lawn mower blades well. The part that does the sharpening is shaped like a "V", whereas a lawn mower blade is more blunt. However, if you were to grind a lawnmower blade down to a knife-edge, it probably would work!

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

I used my Accu Sharp 060 on my small shears, pruners, and it worked great. I did not use it on the lawnmower blade so I cannot answer your question. If there is room to move the Accu Sharp you can probably it without removing the lawnmower blades...

I love this blade, it will cut anything and everything from heavy grass to small trees. Be careful not to touch the ground, like a chainsaw, the teeth will dull instantly.

You don't have to worry about this blade cutting any type grass - I have cut 1/2" saplings with it, BUT they do say to use it horizonally only, not for use as an edging tool.

Yes, I have a quarter of an acre of St.Augustine grass in south Florida and it works fine. Dense patches and wet grass will slow it down but it manages to power through with some effort on your part. The two batteries typically last for the entire job. It is important ro keep the blade sharp over time to ensure you are getting the most out of the battery life.

I would have answered sooner but I had to find out for myself. I just finished cutting all my ornamental grasses with it. Easyest job I've ever had, smooth as silk. I will cut my grasses with the G-MAX from now on. Thanks for the idea. Don

Mine cuts thick grass without even noticing. It does fine with any height lawn, but it absolutely does not cut tall grass. For example, once your lawn starts putting up seed stalks, this mower will not cut them. It is great for keeping my lawn in shape, but I have to mow on schedule or 'sports' start sticking out of the lawn.
