482878 Fit for Scag Ex Mark 52 inch Mower Blades Scag Tiger Cub Wildcat Turf Tiger Deck Mower Replaces 48108 481707 481711 1-633482 Blades Medium Lift 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of three medium-lift mower blades designed for 52-inch Scag commercial zero-turn mowers, specifically the Tiger Cub, Wildcat, and Turf Tiger decks. They’re meant for general-purpose cutting—good for regular residential or commercial mowing where you need a balance of lift and cut quality.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 52-inch Scag decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model fit: Direct replacement for Scag Tiger Cub, Wildcat, and Turf Tiger models with 52-inch decks. Also fits some older Scag models that use OEM part numbers 48108, 481707, 481711, or 1-633482.
• Blade dimensions: Check length, center hole size, and thickness against your old blade. These are listed as medium-lift—so if your deck uses high-lift or low-lift blades, this may change cut or discharge performance.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket blade from the “Fit” brand. It’s not OEM Scag, but it’s designed to match OEM specs. Check that the blade’s center hole and offset match your spindle.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.6/5 stars from 311 reviews suggests consistent sharpness and durability for the price. Expect good steel, but not as hard as some premium OEM blades.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a socket wrench and a blade removal tool. Torque the bolt to 70-90 ft-lbs. No special adapters needed.
• Gotcha: “Medium lift” means less vacuum than high-lift blades—so if you mow wet grass or bag often, you might get clumping. Also, check the blade’s airfoil direction before installing; the lift edge should face up.
• Pack: Comes as a 3-pack, so you replace all blades at once—good for balanced cut.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 52-inch Scag commercial mower and want a cost-effective, solid replacement that matches OEM fit without paying OEM prices. It’s ideal for general mowing on flat to moderate terrain where you don’t need maximum lift for wet or tall grass. Skip it if you bag frequently or need high-lift blades.
