MTD Mulching Blade

This blade is specifically designed for 42-inch mower decks and features a 6-point star center hole. Before purchasing, verify your current blade's length and center hole pattern to ensure compatibility with your specific MTD or compatible mower model.

The high-lift design creates stronger airflow under the mower deck. This helps lift the grass blades upright for a cleaner, more even cut and ensures clippings are effectively circulated for better mulching or discharge.

Yes, this blade functions well for standard mowing, but its notched design is optimized for mulching. If you prefer to bag your clippings, this blade will still perform, though you may find it cuts grass into smaller pieces than a standard straight-edge blade.

This package includes one individual blade. If your mower deck requires multiple blades, please ensure you order the correct quantity for your specific machine.

You should generally replace your blade once a year or whenever you notice the cutting edge becoming dull, chipped, or bent. A sharp blade is essential for a healthy lawn, as dull blades tear grass rather than cutting it, which can leave your lawn susceptible to disease.
