Hondo - I can understand the feeling of more power if you've got sharper blades, b/c they cut easier... problem is, I'm used to working with 20-40 HP mowers... You wouldn't notice the difference either.

We have an attachment for a mower that is just chains bolted to a bar that spins. These chains beat anything in their path into a pulp of nothing. We have another attachment that has bars rotating in a deck, rather than blades. It's meant for taking down thickets and brush. You don't do that with a 10HP home-owner mower.
