🛒 See Price on AmazonWhat It Is
This is a mulching blade (part #580244002) designed for 22-inch walk-behind mowers, including Husqvarna HU700H and Craftsman models like HU700F, HU700AWD, HU725F, HU775H, and HU800AWD. It replaces OEM part 580244001 and is intended to finely chop grass clippings for nutrient recycling, not for bagging or side discharge.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your mower deck is exactly 22 inches—this blade won’t fit 21-inch or 24-inch decks. Check your mower model number (e.g., HU700H, HU700AWD) against the list above; other HU-series models may use a different blade. Measure the blade length (should be ~22 inches overall), center hole diameter (typically 1 inch), and spindle hole pattern (usually a 5-point star or 6-point). If your mower has a different hole pattern or offset, this blade won’t mount. It’s an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 580244001, so verify your original blade’s part number matches.
Key Things to Know
- Installation difficulty: Easy—just a wrench and a socket. But you must torque the blade bolt to 35–45 ft-lbs (check your manual) to prevent loosening.
- Mulching performance: Works best with a mulching plug installed and dry grass. Wet or tall grass will clog and leave clumps.
- Common gotcha: This is a mulching blade, not a standard lift blade. If you need to bag or side-discharge, it’ll leave longer clippings and may not lift debris into the chute.
- Quality note: At 4.2 stars from 74 reviews, it’s decent for the price, but some users report it dulls faster than OEM—sharpen it every 10–15 hours of use.
Should You Buy It
If you have a compatible 22-inch HU-series Husqvarna or Craftsman mower and primarily want to mulch (not bag or discharge), this blade is a budget-friendly replacement. It’s fine for average lawns, but for heavy use or demanding conditions, consider a higher-end aftermarket or OEM blade for longer edge life.
