490-110-C187 High Lift Blade Fit for 60 inch Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2-60 ZT3-60 ZTS2-60 Zero Turn Mower Replace 742-05620 742P05620 742-05620-X, 2-in-1 Lawn Mower Blade (3 Pack)

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift 2-in-1 blades designed for 60-inch Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2-60, ZT3-60, and ZTS2-60 zero-turn mowers. The high-lift design increases airflow under the deck for superior grass clipping discharge, making it ideal for tall or wet grass where standard blades struggle.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 60-inch decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Models confirmed: Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2-60, ZT3-60, ZTS2-60. Not compatible with 54-inch or 72-inch decks.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Cub Cadet OEM part numbers 742-05620, 742P05620, and 742-05620-X. Check your current blade for these numbers.
• Physical specs: Blade length ~20.5 inches, center hole 5/8-inch hex, and 2.5-inch diameter center disc. Measure your old blade’s length, hole shape, and disc size to confirm.
• Aftermarket note: This is an aftermarket replacement, not genuine Cub Cadet. It fits the same, but may have slight differences in thickness or balance.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Straightforward if you’ve changed blades before. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 70-90 ft-lbs. Left-hand threads on some spindles—turn clockwise to loosen.
• Balance: High-lift blades can be slightly heavier than OEM. After installing, run the mower at full throttle for 30 seconds and listen for vibration. If present, remove and re-balance.
• Performance: Expect better bagging and discharge in thick grass, but increased power draw. You may need to slow ground speed in heavy conditions to avoid bogging.
• Durability: Heat-treated steel holds an edge well, but high-lift blades wear faster in sandy or rocky soil. Sharpen every 8-10 hours of use.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 60-inch Cub Cadet Ultima zero-turn and regularly mow tall, damp, or thick grass that leaves clumps or trails, this three-pack of high-lift blades is a solid upgrade. It’s a cost-effective alternative to OEM that delivers noticeably better discharge and bagging performance. Skip it if you mow dry, short grass—standard blades will work fine and last longer.
