What It Is

This is a set of six high-lift mower blades designed for 60-inch Exmark Zero Turn mowers. High-lift blades generate greater airflow to lift grass upright before cutting, making them ideal for bagging or discharging thick, tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

  • Deck size: Must be a 60-inch Exmark deck (not 48", 52", or 72").
  • Center hole: 5/8-inch diameter (common on Exmark, but check yours).
  • OEM number: Replaces Exmark part 103-2530-S. This is a direct aftermarket replacement, but fitment may vary slightly on older decks or aftermarket spindles.

Also confirm your deck uses six blades (most 60" Exmark Lazer Z or Quest models do). Measure your current blade length (should be ~18.5 inches) and width (2.5 inches) to match.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality: These are aftermarket, not OEM. Expect good lift but slightly less balanced than factory blades. Check balance before installing.
  • Installation difficulty: Easy—use a socket wrench and block the blade to prevent spinning. Torque to 70-90 ft-lbs.
  • Common gotcha: High-lift blades require more engine power and can throw debris. Avoid using them in dry, dusty conditions or near gravel.
  • Lift height: They lift grass higher than standard or low-lift blades, which helps in wet or overgrown grass but can scalp bumps if your deck isn’t level.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you bag or discharge heavy, thick grass and want better cut quality without paying OEM prices. Skip them if you mostly mulch or mow a dry, manicured lawn—standard or mulching blades will work better and use less power.
