This is a set of three 48-inch deck mower blades designed for heavy-duty cutting on Exmark and Toro zero-turn mowers. They’re built for commercial or residential users who need a durable, high-lift blade for thick grass and rough terrain.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size is exactly 48 inches—these won’t fit smaller or larger decks. Compatible with Exmark Lazer Z S, E-Series, AS, CT, HP, Quest, Vantage, Pioneer, Turf Tracer AS, CT, Metro, and Toro Titan Z4800 models. They replace OEM part numbers 103-6396-S and 116-5177-S (Gator style). Measure your current blade length, width, and center hole diameter (typically 1 inch or 7/16 inch) to confirm match. These are aftermarket blades, so check for any deck-specific offset or thickness requirements your manual may list.
Key Things to Know
- Material & Durability: Made from hardened steel with a heat-treated edge; resists bending and dulling in rocky or sandy soil.
- Installation: Straightforward—use a blade removal tool or impact wrench. Torque bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs per manufacturer specs.
- Lift & Discharge: High-lift design improves bagging and side discharge but may create more dust and noise in dry conditions.
- Balance: Each blade is balanced from the factory, but always check balance after sharpening to prevent vibration and spindle wear.
Should You Buy It
Buy these if you own a listed Exmark or Toro 48-inch deck zero-turn and want a tough, affordable alternative to OEM blades. They’re ideal for frequent mowing of thick grass and mixed terrain, but skip them if you need a low-lift blade for fine turf or mulching—this set is optimized for high lift and heavy use.
