8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade Set for Scag Advantage 72" Deck 481709 48112 (Notched High Lift) 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of notched high-lift blades designed for Scag 72-inch mower decks. The notched design increases airflow for superior grass lift and discharge, making it ideal for commercial or large residential properties with tall, thick, or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits Scag 72" decks only (not 61", 52", or other sizes).
• Model check: Compatible with Scag models using OEM part numbers 481709 and 48112. Common on Scag Wildcat, Cheetah, and Turf Tiger with 72" decks.
• Measurements: Blade length is 24.5 inches; center hole diameter is 5/8 inch; thickness is 0.204 inch. Verify your existing blade dimensions match.
• Aftermarket note: This is a direct replacement for OEM Scag blades. No adapter or modification needed if your deck uses these OEM numbers.

Key Things to Know

• High lift = more power draw. Notched high-lift blades require more engine horsepower than standard blades. If your Scag struggles on slopes or in heavy grass, consider standard lift blades instead.
• Installation is straightforward. Uses a 15/16" socket or wrench on the blade bolt. Torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always lift the deck and disconnect the spark plug before working.
• Check for bent spindles. If your old blades were unbalanced, inspect spindle shafts for runout before installing new blades. A bent spindle will quickly ruin these.
• Sharpness out of box. These blades come sharp but not razor-edged. They cut well immediately but benefit from a light touch-up with a file if you want a cleaner finish on the first pass.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Scag with a 72" deck and need a cost-effective 3-pack of high-lift blades for tough cutting conditions, this is a solid value at $42.95. It’s best for operators who already know they want notched high-lift performance and don’t mind the extra engine load. Skip it if you need standard-lift blades or have a smaller deck.
