I noticed that after I cut my grass last week my lawn had a brown
sunburned tint to it. Upon closer inspection the very top of many of
the individual blades turned brown where they were cut. Just wondering
if that means my blade is not making a clean enough cut.

Possibly, if the ends are "ragged".

Hi,
Either grass was wet? You can feel it when blade is dull.

If you didnt sharpen it in a year it should be, was it real tall, that
will burn it, did the grass get sun all day after you cut it, best
time is is later in the day but its probably alot to do with the blade
and grass height.

yes the grass was a little wet when I last mowed it and it was in the
morning. How do you sharpen a lawn mower blade, is this something I
can do myself of do I need to bring it to a sharperner?
