Caltric 3X High Lift Blade Compatible with Snapper 560Z 360Z ZTX 350 ZTX 550 Mower 52" Deck 0.64"

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift lawn mower blades from Caltric, designed for Snapper zero-turn mowers with a 52-inch deck. High-lift blades create stronger airflow to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, especially in thick or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 52-inch deck and accepts blades with a 0.64-inch center hole. These blades are compatible with specific Snapper models: 560Z, 360Z, ZTX 350, and ZTX 550. They are an aftermarket replacement, not OEM Snapper parts. Measure your existing blade length—these are 18.5 inches long. Check that your deck uses three blades (not two or four). If your Snapper has a different deck size or center hole diameter, these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and a torque wrench to tighten blades to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always disconnect the spark plug and battery before working.
• Quality: High-lift design increases suction but may cause more vibration if blades are not perfectly balanced. Use a blade balancer after installation.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades require more engine power and can strain the mower in very tall or wet grass. They also create more noise and dust.
• Durability: Caltric blades are heat-treated steel, but they wear faster than OEM if used on gravel or sandy soil.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a compatible Snapper zero-turn with a 52-inch deck and need improved bagging or side-discharge performance, especially in heavy grass. They’re a good budget alternative to OEM blades, but skip them if you want maximum longevity or have a smaller deck.
