I'm not sure what a splined blade is but have always had good success with the nail trick. Thanks for the comments. Yes, the cone balencers are not expensive at all.

A sharp blade does keep the grass looking nicer. What did you think of my DIY technique of balancing the blade using a nail? Its always worked well for me. People can also buy commercially made balancing tools. I have an old tractor I use at a campground. Some years I replace those blades more than once a season because of hitting rocks, stumps, roots or other debris. I'm going to give the Deere a workout over the Independence Day weekend and see how it does at the Campground. John, Thanks for the tips. A sharp blade does keep the grass looking nicer.

I recommend sharpening blades once a month. I find it easier to remember sharpening as a part of a regular maintenance program than to let the grass tell me if it's time to sharpen my blades. One word of caution to your readers. You mentioned, in passing, that if you don't balance your mower blades they can damage your mower. You really should think of replacing your mower blades at least every three seasons. Every other season would be better. Great post as usual guys.
