XHT 3 USA Made Blades Snapper Simplicity 1759055 1759055YP HIGH Lift ZT2348T 48"

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift mower blades designed for Snapper and Simplicity zero-turn mowers with 48-inch decks, specifically the ZT2348T model. The high-lift design increases airflow for superior grass clipping discharge and bagging performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 48-inch cutting decks only.
• OEM part numbers: Replaces Snapper/Simplicity 1759055 and 1759055YP.
• Brand/models: Snapper ZT2348T, Simplicity ZT2348T, and other compatible zero-turn mowers using these OEM numbers.
• Measure before buying: Blade length is 18.5 inches; center hole diameter is 0.75 inches; check for a 1-inch or 2-inch offset from center to tip. Verify your current blade matches these specs.
• Aftermarket note: XHT 3 is a premium aftermarket brand, not OEM, but built to OEM specifications. Confirm your deck uses three blades (not one or two).

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy to medium. Requires a socket wrench and possibly a blade removal tool. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Sharpening: These are pre-sharpened and balanced. Re-sharpen only if necessary; avoid over-grinding the high-lift wing.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades increase power draw. Ensure your mower engine has adequate horsepower (typically 20+ HP) to avoid bogging in thick grass.
• Quality: Made in the USA from heat-treated steel. Thicker than many OEM blades, providing longer life but slightly heavier.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a direct replacement for your Snapper or Simplicity 48-inch zero-turn mower and want improved bagging or side-discharge performance. They are a solid, durable alternative to OEM blades, especially if you mow thick or tall grass. Avoid if your deck is smaller or you prefer standard (low-lift) blades for mulching.
