09081200 Lawn Mower High Lift Blade for Ariens Max-Zoom 2560 Gravely Pro-Master 260Z 60" Mower Decks - Heavy Duty Blade Replaces 03253900 09246600 09246600CKT - 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift blades designed for 60-inch Ariens Max-Zoom 2560 and Gravely Pro-Master 260Z commercial zero-turn mowers. The high-lift profile increases airflow under the deck for better grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making it ideal for tall or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck is exactly 60 inches (three blades, each roughly 20-21 inches). These replace OEM part numbers 03253900, 09246600, and 09246600CKT. They fit Ariens Max-Zoom 2560 (60" deck) and Gravely Pro-Master 260Z (60" deck). Also compatible with some Pro-Turn and other Gravely/Ariens 60" models—check your owner’s manual or measure your existing blade length, center hole diameter (typically 5/8" or 7/8"), and offset. Aftermarket, so verify bolt pattern matches your spindle.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Always disconnect the spark plug and tip the mower with the carburetor side up to avoid oil leaks.
• Quality: Heavy-duty 3/16" steel, but some users report balancing issues. Check balance before installing; if off, a $10 blade balancer is worth it.
• Lift vs. OEM: More aggressive lift than standard blades—great for bagging but may increase engine load and wear belts faster on dry, short grass.
• Common gotcha: These are not for mulching. If you want finer clippings left on the lawn, look for a low-lift or mulching blade instead.

Should You Buy It

If you run a 60" Ariens or Gravely zero-turn and primarily bag or discharge tall, thick grass, this 3-pack offers solid value at $42.99. Skip it if you mulch or mow dry, short lawns—the high lift will just waste power and wear parts faster.
