Ok quick search on GA Spares by stepped blades, the Honda's are a tad long, but something like this might be the best idea - as essentially it's intended for the H660 and also has fluting which is handy for clearing the deck and getting a nice looking lawn:

Not sure of the effective step on it - I would imagine 5mm maximum?

Hmmm buggers to find, they'd also be the non-HD blades - so is the few mm in step worth the effort & lesser quality blades? Not sold on that.

I might have to give it a good thought as there's a significant chance that the H660, while a great machine just isn't a good fit for my needs here as she's too much of a cumbersome, hefty bugger. If it can't cut 10-20mm lower, she's also almost more of a pain than assistance - as yeah the SP is nice but I'm mowing a few days earlier due to it vs the utility & when it's a 5 day or so turnaround in peak Summer thats pretty significant.

Worst case I'll have to flog it on FB or Gumtree, but I can't say I'll be selling for as nice an offer as Norm does on his ones, ;-)

Have long thought that perhaps the hydrostatic SP on the Honda HRX217 might be a good match for the sloping terrain - but might chat about that in another thread.
