What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift mower blades (part #482877) designed for 48-inch cutting decks, primarily used on zero-turn mowers from Scag, Snapper, Lesco, Hustler, and compatible models like the CZT19480KWV and CZT19481KWV. The high-lift design increases airflow for superior grass clipping discharge in bagging or side-discharge setups, making it ideal for taller, thicker grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your deck is exactly 48 inches—measure blade tip to tip (not deck housing). These blades replace OEM part numbers: Scag 48110, 481706, 482461, 483316; Snapper 7075771, 7075771BZYP; Lesco 21871, 50111; Hustler 601123. They fit Snapper CZT19480KWV and CZT19481KWV zero-turn models with 48" decks. Measure your existing blade length (should be ~20.5 inches), center hole diameter (typically 1 inch), and spindle mounting pattern (usually 5-point star or 4-point). Not compatible with 42" or 52" decks, or most push mowers.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Easy swap—use a socket wrench to remove the blade bolt (left-hand thread on some models). Torque to 70-80 ft-lbs. Wear gloves; blades are sharp.
• High-lift tradeoff: Better suction and bagging but more engine load and faster wear in sandy or dry conditions. Not ideal for mulching without a kit.
• Quality check: Aftermarket set is steel with a painted finish—sharper out of box than some OEMs, but may require balancing if not perfectly centered. Use a blade balancer.
• Common gotcha: Ensure blade orientation—curved edge points upward toward deck. Reverse install kills performance and risks damage.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a 48" zero-turn deck used for bagging or side-discharge in thick grass. Avoid if you primarily mulch—high-lift blades can leave clumps without a mulching plug. At $32.99 for three, it’s a solid value for Scag, Snapper, Lesco, or Hustler owners who want OEM-like performance without the premium price.
