What It Is

This is a set of three mulching blades designed for 50-inch zero-turn mowers like the Toro TimeCutter SS5000 and MX5000. They replace OEM parts 112-9759-03 and 115-5059-03, and are meant to chop clippings finely for nutrient recycling.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits only 50-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Models: Toro TimeCutter SS5000, MX5000, and compatible 50-inch commercial or residential zero-turns. Check your owner’s manual for deck model number.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements for Toro OEM blades. They may differ slightly in thickness, balance, or cutting angle.
• Measurements: Each blade is approximately 20.5 inches long, with a 1-inch center hole and 5-point star pattern. Verify your spindle’s hole pattern and blade length against your current blades.

Key Things to Know

• Material: Made from alloy steel, which is durable but may dull faster than heat-treated OEM blades under heavy use.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a socket wrench and a blade removal tool. Torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use thread locker if your spindles are aluminum.
• Gotchas: Some users report blades are slightly thinner than OEM, which can cause vibration or poor balance. Always balance new blades before mounting.
• Mulching performance: Works well for fine mulching in dry grass, but may clog in wet or thick conditions. Avoid using for bagging or side discharge.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 50-inch Toro TimeCutter or MX5000 and need a budget-friendly mulching blade set for occasional use on dry lawns, this is a decent value. For heavy commercial use or wet conditions, spend more on OEM or thicker aftermarket blades to avoid vibration and frequent replacements.
