482878 Mower Blades for 36" 52" Deck, High Lift Notched Blades Compatible with S-Cag Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, Wildcat, Replaces 481707, 48108, 482462, 481711, 48185, A48108, A48185, 6 Pack

What It Is

This is a 6-pack of high lift notched mower blades designed for 36" and 52" commercial zero-turn decks. They’re built for heavy-duty cutting and improved grass discharge, commonly used on Scag Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, and Wildcat models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: Only fits 36" and 52" Scag decks. Not for 48", 61", or 72" decks.
• Model check: Compatible with Scag Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, and Wildcat. Also fits some Dixon and Hustler models using the same blade pattern.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Scag part numbers 481707, 48108, 482462, 481711, 48185, A48108, and A48185. Measure your existing blade length (should be ~18.5" for 52" decks, ~16.5" for 36" decks) and center hole diameter (typically 5/8" or 7/16"). If your current blades are notched and high lift, these will match.

Key Things to Know

• High lift design increases airflow for better bagging and side discharge, but creates more dust and can bog the engine in tall, wet grass.
• Notched design helps reduce blade stress and vibration at high RPMs, common on commercial decks.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – just a single bolt per blade. Torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always use a blade removal tool or block the deck to prevent spinning.
• Common gotcha: These are aftermarket blades. They may require minor balancing before use (check with a blade balancer). Some users report slightly thinner steel than OEM Scag blades, but still durable for residential and light commercial use.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Scag 36" or 52" deck and need a cost-effective 6-pack for regular blade changes, this is a solid value. Best for homeowners or light commercial operators who prioritize price over OEM exactness. Not ideal for heavy commercial use where OEM blade thickness and balance matter more.
