What It Is

These are 38-inch mulching blades designed for specific Toro lawn tractors. The 2-pack replaces standard blades to cut grass into finer clippings for natural lawn feeding, reducing bagging and raking.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck is exactly 38 inches (not 42, 46, etc.). These blades fit Toro models: 14-4889, 14-7799, 79-1720, 79-3060, 79-3061, 79-3061-03, 88-5140-03, 16-38XL, 16-38HXL, 16-38HXLE, 17-38HXLE, 14-38HXLE, XL 380H, and XL 380 Yard Tractors. They are aftermarket, not OEM Toro parts. Measure your existing blade length (38 inches total) and center hole diameter (usually 1 inch) to verify. Check that the blade shape matches your deck’s spindle pattern—mulching blades have a curved, often serrated edge.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.4 rating from only 4 reviews, durability and balance may vary. Inspect blades for warping or uneven edges before installation.
• Sharpening: Mulching blades dull faster than standard blades due to finer cutting. Expect to sharpen or replace more often.
• Installation: Easy for intermediate DIYers. Use a blade removal tool and torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always disconnect the spark plug first.
• Mulching vs. bagging: These blades are for mulching only. If you switch between bagging and mulching, you may need a different blade set.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a 38-inch Toro tractor listed above, want budget-friendly mulching blades, and are comfortable with aftermarket parts. Skip them if you prefer OEM reliability, need longer blade life, or have a different deck size.
