Unlike disposable razor brands taking a similar "the more blades the better" approach, towing three rolling blades actually allowed the mower to cover a larger area. The quality of the design is proven by the fact that similar mowers (including, in another riff on the disposable razor industry, ones with even more blades) are still in use today for the maintenence when an even cut is important like cricket grounds or golf courses. | Unlike disposable razor brands taking a similar "the more blades the better" approach, towing three rolling blades actually allowed the mower to cover a larger area.

A red triple gang mower which can attach to other Dinky farm vehicles, with three yellow rolling cylindrical blades and green wheels. This model was originally numbered 27j, and was made from 1952-58.
Unlike disposable razor brands taking a similar "the more blades the better" approach, towing three rolling blades actually allowed the mower to cover a larger area. The quality of the design is proven by the fact that similar mowers (including, in another riff on the disposable razor industry, ones with even more blades) are still in use today for the maintenence when an even cut is important like cricket grounds or golf courses.
