Ariens 70717600 Mower Blade

No, these blades are specifically engineered for the Ariens IKON XD and XL series zero-turn mowers equipped with a 60-inch deck. Always verify your mower's model number and deck size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The high carbon content makes the steel harder and more durable, allowing the blade to maintain a sharp cutting edge for a longer period. This results in a cleaner cut and reduces the frequency at which you need to sharpen or replace your blades.

Yes, this set includes three blades, which is the exact quantity required for a 60-inch deck on the compatible Ariens IKON series mowers.

You should consider replacing your blades if you notice the grass tips are frayed or brown after mowing, which indicates a dull blade, or if you see visible nicks, bends, or significant rust on the metal. A standard rule of thumb is to replace them if the cutting edge is rounded over or damaged beyond simple sharpening.

These are standard lift blades. They are designed for general mowing conditions where you want a clean, precise cut without the aggressive airflow required for bagging heavy, wet grass.
