Toro 22 in. High-Lift Mower Blade for Walk-Behind Mowers 1 pk

What It Is

This is an OEM Toro high-lift mower blade designed for 22-inch walk-behind mowers. Its curved wingtips create extra upward airflow to lift grass for a cleaner cut, making it ideal for bagging or tall, dense lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits only 22-inch cutting decks—measure your deck width to confirm.
• Brand/model: Designed for Toro walk-behinds (e.g., Super Recycler, Recycler, and Personal Pace models). Check your mower’s model number against Toro’s compatibility chart—blade part number often changes by year.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Toro blade, so fitment and balance are guaranteed for listed models. Aftermarket blades may be cheaper but can vary in thickness, hole pattern, and lift height.
• Measurements: Center hole diameter is typically 1-inch (round or star-shaped). Blade length is 22 inches from tip to tip. Verify your blade’s mounting pattern (oval or round hole) before purchase.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block of wood to prevent spinning). Torque to 35-45 ft-lbs.
• Sharpening: High-lift blades dull faster than standard blades due to increased air resistance. Sharpen every 10-15 hours of use or after hitting debris.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades create more vibration if unbalanced. Always check balance after sharpening or replacement to avoid spindle wear.
• Performance trade-off: Excellent for bagging and thick grass, but can reduce mulching quality and increase engine load slightly.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you primarily bag clippings or cut tall, dense grass and want a clean, lifted cut on your 22-inch Toro walk-behind. Skip it if you mostly mulch or have a smaller deck—standard or low-lift blades will work better and last longer.
