Mower Cutting Blades - Cub Cadet SurePath Pro Z Serie Manual Del Operador

Mower Cutting Blades

The blades normally factory installed on
a mower afford the best grass cutting
performance on the majority of grasses
and mowing conditions; however,
there will be occasions whereby the
grass type, stage of grass growth, soil
conditions and weather conditions will
require different cutting blade types.
Since the mower decks are designed
so that over-lap of the cutting blades
generally exceed 1.5", there is no need
for orientation of one cutting blade to
an adjacent blade (i.e., the blades do not
need to be "timed" nor synchronized).
Hi-lift — These are generally the best
cutting blades for most grasses and
mowing conditions. The Hi-Lift blades
are the factory installed blades on these
Standard set-up
Stems (Dandelion,
Bahia, Buckhorn, etc.)
Very lush &/or tall grass
Low cut height (1 to 2")
Mulch
Material collection
Abrasive (sandy), dry
Wet
Table Notes: This table is a general outline of suggested settings, mowing conditions may vary.
Inner Baffle: The inner baffle regulates grass discharge. Remove the inner baffle for high-volume grass and install the inner baffle for
precision cutting.
Discharge Baffle: The discharge baffle enhances the grass discharge pattern. The discharge baffle reduces clumping and should be
removed for mulching.
Cutting Blades: The cutting blades cut grass, create grass lift and discharge grass through the discharge chute.
Gauge Wheels: The gauge wheels reduce scalping, help with precision cutting and reduce turf defacement during turns.
Front Roller: The front roller reduces scalping, helps with precision cutting and reduces turf defacement during turns.
Rear Rollers: The rear rollers reduce scalping and gives grass a striped appearance.
NOTE: To avoid damaging grass, no more than 1/3 of the grass height should be removed during a single cutting (i.e. if the grass is 6"
tall, cut it to 4").

mowers. These blades will provide extra
"lift" for the thinner leaf grasses, will
handle lush grasses and will provide
maximum grass and debris discharge.
These blades are generally required
for material collection systems. More
horsepower is required for these
blades when compared to others, and
they generally produce the highest
noise levels.
Medium-lift — These blades require less
horsepower than the Hi-lift, and they
generally work well in wider leaf grasses
and some mulch applications.
Low-lift — These blades require less
horsepower than Hi-lift and Medium-lift
blades, and they generally work best
with wide leaf grasses, sparse grass
growth and sandy soil conditions.

They produce the lowest noise levels.
Low-lift blades are configured without
offset, and with a maximum amount of
sharpened cutting edge.
Mulch — These blades are generally
designed for use in cutting decks
equipped with mulch baffles. The
shape of the blade generally produces
higher turbulence in order that the grass
can be repeatedly cut and re-cut into
smaller pieces. These blades generally
require more horsepower than other
blades. Mulch blades work best when
the grasses are cut at the highest levels,
minimal lengths of grasses are removed
and grass conditions are generally dry.
