482879 High Lift Blades Set Replaces Scag 48111 481708 481712 482787 Ferris 1520842 Husqvarna 539101733, Compatible with IS1500ZX IS2000Z IS2500Z 61" Deck (3PACK)

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift mower blades designed for commercial-grade 61-inch cutting decks. The high-lift profile increases airflow for superior grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making it ideal for heavy-duty mowing on large properties or commercial use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck measures exactly 61 inches. These blades replace OEM part numbers Scag 48111, 481708, 481712, 482787; Ferris 1520842; and Husqvarna 539101733. They are compatible with Husqvarna IS1500ZX, IS2000Z, and IS2500Z zero-turn models with a 61-inch deck. Measure your existing blade’s length, width, center hole diameter, and thickness to confirm match—these are aftermarket replacements, so slight dimensional differences may occur. Cross-check your mower’s make, model, and deck size with the compatibility list before ordering.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design: Increases air suction for better discharge and bagging, but may create more dust or wear faster in sandy soil.
• Installation: Standard bolt-on—no special tools needed, but you’ll need a torque wrench to tighten to manufacturer specs (usually 70-90 ft-lbs). Use thread locker if recommended.
• Sharpness: These blades come sharpened but may need a quick touch-up after first use to ensure even cutting.
• Performance: Users report noticeable improvement in cut quality and discharge compared to stock low-lift blades, especially in thick grass.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Husqvarna IS1500ZX, IS2000Z, or IS2500Z with a 61-inch deck and want to maximize bagging or side discharge performance, this is a solid, cost-effective upgrade over OEM blades. It’s less suitable for mulching or if you mow in very dusty conditions.
