MowerPartsGroup (6) USA Made Reaper Blades for 61" Bad Boy Scag Ferris 038-6080-00 482879 15208425

What It Is

A set of three heavy-duty, USA-made Reaper blades designed for 61" zero-turn mowers from Bad Boy, Scag, and Ferris. These are premium mulching or high-lift cutting blades, ideal for commercial or large residential use where durability and clean cuts are required.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 61" deck. These blades replace OEM part numbers 038-6080-00 (Bad Boy), 482879 (Scag), and 15208425 (Ferris). Check your existing blade length (should be ~20.5") and center hole size (typically 1" or 5/8" with a pin). Measure your blade thickness—these are 0.250" thick, so ensure your spindle can accept that. These are aftermarket, not OEM, so verify they match your exact model (e.g., Bad Boy Maverick, Scag Turf Tiger, Ferris IS3100Z). If your deck uses a different blade pattern or offset, they won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made in the USA from heat-treated steel, these blades typically outlast cheaper imports and resist bending or chipping on rocky terrain.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on swap if you have a torque wrench—tighten to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use thread locker if your mower vibrates heavily.
• Gotcha: These are Reaper (aggressive mulching) blades, not standard lift blades. They’ll produce finer clippings but may reduce bagging efficiency on some Scag models.
• Gotcha: Check blade balance out of the box—some users report slight imbalance, so a bench balancer is recommended.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a 61" Bad Boy, Scag, or Ferris zero-turn and want tough, USA-made blades for heavy mulching or frequent mowing on rough ground. They’re a solid value vs. OEM replacements, but skip them if you need standard lift blades for bagging or if your deck uses a different bolt pattern.
