8TEN LawnRAZOR Mower Blade Set for Toro Time Cutter Z 38 inch Deck 14-4889 14-7799 79-1720 79-3060 (High Lift)

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift replacement blades for Toro TimeCutter Z zero-turn mowers with a 38-inch cutting deck. Designed for heavy lifting and bagging performance, they’re ideal for thick or wet grass where standard blades leave clumps.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck size is exactly 38 inches – this set won’t fit 42-inch or 50-inch decks. Compatible with Toro TimeCutter Z models (e.g., SS4225, Z4200, Z4800) that use OEM part numbers 14-4889, 14-7799, 79-1720, or 79-3060. Each blade measures 13.75 inches long, 2.25 inches wide, with a 0.203-inch thickness and a 0.625-inch center hole. Check your current blade’s part number or measure length and hole diameter to avoid mismatch. These are aftermarket, not OEM Toro, but meet OEM specs.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is straightforward – use a torque wrench set to 70-90 ft-lbs and a blade removal tool. No special adapters needed.
• High-lift design increases suction, which improves bagging but slightly reduces engine power and fuel efficiency. Not ideal for dusty or sandy conditions (more wear on deck).
• Balance is decent out of the box, but check each blade with a balancer – a few reports of minor imbalance that can cause vibration.
• Sharpness is good but not premium – expect to sharpen after 8-10 hours of heavy use. They’re made of hardened steel, not boron.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro TimeCutter Z with a 38-inch deck and need better bagging or grass dispersal, this is a solid value at ~$32. It’s a direct fit, easy to install, and outperforms standard blades in thick grass. Skip it if you want OEM longevity or cut in extremely dusty conditions.
