What It Is

This is a 3-pack of 60-inch high-lift mower blades designed for heavy-duty grass cutting, mulching, and bagging on zero-turn and riding mowers with 60-inch decks. The high-lift profile creates stronger airflow to lift grass for a cleaner cut and better discharge, ideal for tall or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower has a 60-inch cut deck and matches one of these Cub Cadet models: Tank S60, Tank 60, DS60, M60-CT, M60-KH, M60-KHEFI, M60-KW, M60-KW ROPS, or Recon 60. These blades replace OEM part numbers 942-04415, 01005338, 01005338P, and 02005019. Measure your current blades: they should be 60 inches total length (not the blade itself—the deck cut width), with a 1-inch center hole and a 5-point star drive pattern. Check that the blade thickness is 0.203 inches (OEM spec) and the blade length is approximately 20.5 inches each (three blades per set). If your deck uses a different drive pattern or center hole size, these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket blades made from heat-treated steel, comparable to OEM in durability. Some users note they may be slightly thinner than original Cub Cadet blades, so check thickness before installing.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on if you have a socket and torque wrench. Tighten to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use thread locker on bolts to prevent loosening during use.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades increase deck vibration if not balanced—always balance after installation. Also, they require more engine power; if your mower bogs in thick grass, switch to standard-lift blades.
• Performance: Excellent for bagging and side-discharge, but less ideal for mulching compared to dedicated mulching blades.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you have a compatible Cub Cadet 60-inch deck and need a cost-effective replacement for OEM blades that maintains strong lift for bagging or discharge. It’s a solid value at $36.89 for three blades, but skip it if you primarily mulch or want OEM exact thickness.
