490-110-C187 Hi Lift Blade 05620 Compatible with Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 ZT3 Zero Turn Lawn Mower 60 inch Deck Replacement Part 742P05620 742-056202 (3 Pack)

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift blades (part 490-110-C187) designed for 60-inch cutting decks on Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 and ZT3 zero-turn mowers. The high-lift design increases airflow under the deck for superior grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, ideal for thick or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 60-inch decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model fit: Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 and ZT3 zero-turn mowers. Also fits some other Cub Cadet models with a 60-inch deck (check your owner’s manual for 742P05620 or 742-056202 OEM part numbers).
• OEM equivalent: Replaces OEM part 742P05620 and 742-056202. This is an aftermarket part, not genuine Cub Cadet, so verify blade length, center hole diameter, and offset match your original.
• Measurements: Blade length is approximately 20.5 inches, center hole 1 inch, with a 0.25-inch offset. Compare these to your current blade before installing.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – just a socket wrench and jack stands or a block to lift the deck safely. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Performance vs OEM: High-lift blades create more suction, which improves bagging and side discharge, but may slightly increase engine load and noise. Not ideal for mulching unless you have a mulch kit.
• Common gotcha: These blades are sharp and aggressive – wear heavy gloves during handling. Also, ensure the deck is level after installation to avoid scalping.
• Quality note: Aftermarket blades can vary in steel hardness. User reviews indicate decent durability for residential use, but commercial operators may prefer genuine OEM for longer life.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 or ZT3 with a 60-inch deck and need affordable replacement blades for bagging or side discharge in thick grass. Avoid if you primarily mulch or demand commercial-grade longevity – OEM blades may be a better investment.
