8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade Set for Toro Time Cutter ZS 5000 115-5062-03 50 Inch Deck (Low Lift) 3 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade Set is a low-lift, aftermarket blade set designed for Toro Time Cutter ZS 5000 zero-turn mowers with a 50-inch cutting deck. It’s ideal for mulching and bagging on typical residential lawns, offering a sharp, durable edge at a lower price than OEM Toro blades.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: Fits only the 50-inch deck (model 115-5062-03). Measure your deck width—if it’s 42 or 60 inches, this set won’t fit.
• Blade dimensions: Each blade is 20.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 7-point star center hole and 1-inch diameter. Compare these to your current blades; mismatched hole shape or length will prevent installation.
• Model check: Works with Toro Time Cutter ZS 5000 (model 74799, 74800, 74801). Not compatible with other Time Cutter models (e.g., 42-inch decks).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a third-party replacement for OEM part 115-5062-03. It’s not Toro-branded but matches OEM specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report sharp, well-balanced blades that last through a season of regular mowing. Heat-treated steel holds an edge better than some budget blades.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool. No special adapters needed. Torque to 70-90 ft-lbs (check your mower manual).
• Common gotchas: Low-lift blades produce less suction than high-lift, so they won’t throw grass as far. Avoid on tall, wet, or thick grass—clumping may occur. Also, these blades are not designed for heavy commercial use; expect faster wear under daily cutting.
• Balancing: Check balance after installation—unbalanced blades cause vibration and deck damage. A simple blade balancer (under $10) is a smart add-on.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you have a Toro Time Cutter ZS 5000 with a 50-inch deck, mow a typical residential lawn, and want a reliable, affordable alternative to OEM blades. It’s a solid choice for mulching and bagging, but skip it if you need high-lift blades for wet grass or commercial-grade durability.
