Spray Stone Chip deck of New Mower

[pidgeon1]

Taking delivery of a Hayter 48 475A, next week , is it worth spraying under the deck with Stone Chip before it gets grass/mud stuck to the sides ?

Its a arm and leg so it got to last me out. ( no comment pls)

Any under deck treatment of a steel deck can only be a good thing....I prefer a hard enamel type of paint such as Hammerite but others beg to differ.
I also like to remove the alloy boss that holds the blade and grease the crankshaft it's fixed to - makes removal much easier in the future.
Remember - if the machine has fuel and oil on board, only tip it back towards it's handles!
