482878 High Lift Mower Blades Set Replaces Ferris 21227S 5021227 Scag 482462 48108 Encore 481707, Compatible with Scag Tiger Cub Wildcat Turf Tiger John Deere Walk-behinds Mower 36'' 52'' Deck (3PACK)

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift mower blades designed to replace OEM parts on commercial zero-turn and walk-behind mowers. High-lift blades create stronger airflow to lift grass for a cleaner cut and better bagging, making them ideal for tall or wet grass and frequent bagging use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: Fits 36" and 52" decks only. Not for 48", 54", 61", or other sizes.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Ferris 21227S, 5021227; Scag 482462, 48108, 481708; and Encore 481707. Not listed for all Scag or Ferris models—check your model number.
• Measurements: Each blade is roughly 18" long, 2.5" wide, with a 5/8" center hole and 4" spaced pin holes. Measure your existing blade center hole and pin spacing to confirm.
• Compatible mowers: Scag Tiger Cub, Wildcat, Turf Tiger; John Deere walk-behinds; certain Ferris and Encore models. Not for most residential tractors or zero-turns without a 36" or 52" deck.

Key Things to Know

• Cut quality: High-lift design improves bagging and discharge but increases power draw—may slow mower in thick grass on smaller engines.
• Installation: Straightforward swap with basic tools. Torque blade bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs; use a blade removal tool for safety.
• Durability: Aftermarket blades may dull faster than OEM (Scag/Ferris). Inspect after heavy use; sharpen or replace as needed.
• Noise: Higher lift creates more wind noise and may throw debris farther—use caution near gravel or loose surfaces.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly replacement for bagging or cutting tall grass on a compatible 36" or 52" deck, this set delivers solid performance for the price. It’s not for mulching or fine-cut lawns—stick with OEM if you demand maximum longevity or have a non-compatible deck size.
