8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade Set for Scag Turf Tiger Cheetah 61" Deck 482881 481159 182001 (Air Lift Notched) 3 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade Set is a 3-pack of air-lift notched blades designed for Scag Turf Tiger and Cheetah mowers with a 61-inch cutting deck. These are aftermarket replacements for high-production commercial mowing, engineered to improve airflow and clipping dispersal.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your Scag model has a 61-inch deck—Turf Tiger (STT series) and Cheetah (SFC series) use these. The blades replace OEM part numbers 482881, 481159, and 182001. Each blade measures 20.5 inches long, with a 1-inch center hole and a 0.5-inch offset. Check your spindle pattern: these fit standard three-hole Scag spindles. Measure your old blade length and hole size to verify. Not for 52-inch or 72-inch decks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated boron steel; they hold an edge well but may require balancing on a balancer before install—some users report slight weight variance.
• Installation: Straightforward swap using a socket and torque wrench (45-55 ft-lbs recommended). Use thread locker on spindle bolts to prevent loosening.
• Common Gotcha: The “air lift” notch design can cause a slight vibration at high RPM if blades are not perfectly balanced. Check spindle bearings for wear before installing new blades.
• Longevity: Expect 25-50 hours of commercial use before sharpening; residential use may last longer.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Scag Turf Tiger or Cheetah with a 61-inch deck and want a cost-effective alternative to OEM blades that still delivers solid lift and cut quality, this set is a reliable choice. It’s best for operators who don’t mind balancing blades themselves and want to save 30-40% compared to factory blades. Skip it if you prefer zero-vibration, pre-balanced OEM parts or need blades for a different deck size.
