This is a 3-pack of 60-inch hi-lift mower blades designed specifically for Cub Cadet ZT2, ZT3, Ultima, and other 60-inch KW FAB zero-turn mowers. The hi-lift design increases airflow under the deck for superior grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making it ideal for thick, tall, or wet grass.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your mower has a 60-inch fabricated (FAB) deck—this set will not fit stamped decks. Measure your current blade length (center hole to tip) to verify it matches 60-inch deck specs. Check your model against these compatible Cub Cadet models: 05620, ZT2 60, ZT3 60, Ultima ZT2 60, Ultima ZT3 60, and any 60-inch KW FAB zero-turn. The OEM part numbers this replaces are 742P05620 and 742-05620. If your mower uses a different OEM blade number (e.g., 942-xxxxx), these are not compatible. Also confirm your spindle bolt size—most Cub Cadet 60-inch FAB decks use a 5/8-inch center hole, but measure yours to be safe.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Aftermarket blades at a lower price than OEM. Users report good sharpness out of the box, but edge retention is average—expect to sharpen or replace more frequently than premium brands.
- Installation: Straightforward swap. Use a torque wrench; tighten spindle bolts to 70-80 ft-lbs. Lift the deck or remove blades safely with a blade lock tool.
- Gotcha: Hi-lift blades increase lift and discharge, but they create more drag on the engine and can throw debris farther. Avoid using them on dry, dusty lawns or near gravel—they’ll kick up rocks.
- Balance: Check blade balance after installation. Some users report minor imbalance out of the box; a quick bench grind can fix it.
Should You Buy It
Buy these if you own a Cub Cadet 60-inch FAB deck zero-turn and need a cost-effective replacement for daily residential mowing with occasional bagging. They’re not for heavy commercial use or if you demand long-lasting edge life—opt for OEM or a premium aftermarket brand instead.
