Replacement Land Pride Rotary Cutter Blades, 820-198C Lawn Mower Blades and Compatible Rotary Replacement Blades for Brush Mowers (2 Blade Set)

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement rotary cutter blades designed for heavy-duty brush mowing and large-area grass cutting. They are compatible with Land Pride rotary cutters and other brush mowers that use the 820-198C OEM blade pattern, intended for tractors, zero-turns, or pull-behind mowers in rough, overgrown terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things: blade length, center hole diameter, and bolt pattern. These blades are 26.5 inches long with a 1-inch center hole and a 5-point star center drive pattern. They fit Land Pride models that originally use OEM part 820-198C—common on RCR series rotary cutters (e.g., RCR1860, RCR1872, RCR1884) and some brush mowers. They also work with many aftermarket rotary cutters using the same spec. Cross-check your deck model and OEM part number against the listing; do not rely solely on brand name. Measure your old blade length and center hole to verify, as deck size alone (e.g., 60-inch) does not guarantee blade fitment.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & Material: These are heat-treated, tempered steel blades, typically thicker than standard lawn blades, rated for heavy brush and saplings up to 1-2 inches. Expect a longer service life than thin stamped blades but not as durable as high-end carbide-tipped options.
• Installation Difficulty: Moderate. Requires a torque wrench (recommended 200-250 ft-lbs) and a breaker bar; blade bolts are often seized. Use anti-seize compound on threads to prevent future corrosion. Always replace both blades as a set.
• Common Gotcha: The star drive pattern can be tight on some spindles—lightly file or deburr if it doesn’t slide on. Do not overtighten; star pattern can crack if excess torque is applied. Check blade balance after install; a wobble indicates a bent blade or debris.
• Safety Note: Disconnect spark plug and block blades before working. Wear heavy gloves—edges are sharp.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Land Pride rotary cutter or a compatible brush mower and need a reliable, affordable replacement that handles heavy grass, briars, and small brush. It’s a solid mid-range choice for property owners who mow rough fields or trails but don’t need premium, commercial-grade blades. Avoid if you have a different blade pattern (e.g., oval hole or shorter length) or need blades for fine-finish lawn mowing.
