Lake county hybrid pads

[dlc95]

I tried the force grey pad with the 3401 and the pad was just way too stiff. Not a good user experience at all. Won't use it again.

Good to know.

I think he prefers using a wool pad on the 3401 over the grey pad.

The Orange Hybrid and Orange Force use the same foam that does not work well at all in warmer climates.

well dernit. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case

Agreed. It's misleading when it says it's a cutting pad, because in warmer temps, it becomes a polishing pad.

Blue Hybrid or Force Grey.

I just picked up most of the BOSS pads and the heavier cut B&S Low-Pros. The white and orange BOSS ones and the green and orange Low-Pros are all very firm/stiff.

Someone said the BOSS pads soften up after use. I've only had the chance to try out the white one on my trunk and it didn't seem to soften up much in the short time I worked it.

The only time it was soft was when I was washing it with hot water afterwards.

The B&S Low Pro green and orange pads are some of the best foam pads I've used with the 3401

Yep, use it with the Flex 4 3/8 bp and you won't use the Hybrid system again.

Blue Hybrid or Force Grey.

So in the summer the blue hybrid and oramge hybrid switch spots on cutting power in the summer?

How well does that 4 3/8" backing plate work with those 5.5" pads? I was going to take my Flex 5.5" backing plate and cut it down to fit 5.5" pads as it seemed the 4 3/8" one was a bit too small.

With those specific pads it will work fine. They're pretty stiff, so the backing plate won't "sink" into the pad.

Perfectly fine.
