Stens Hi-Lift Blade

A high-lift blade features a more aggressive wing or 'sail' at the end of the blade. This design creates increased airflow under the mower deck, which lifts the grass blades upright before they are cut and helps propel the clippings out of the discharge chute more efficiently.

Replacing all three blades simultaneously ensures your mower deck remains balanced. Using a mix of old and new blades can cause uneven cutting patterns and create unnecessary vibration, which may lead to premature wear on your mower's spindle bearings.

You should verify your mower's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part number against the MPN 335059. Additionally, confirm that your current blades match the 30-inch length, 2.75-inch width, and 2.75-inch center hole diameter specifications.

While these blades are excellent for side discharge and bagging, they are generally not recommended for mulching. The high-lift design is engineered to throw grass out of the deck, whereas mulching blades are designed to keep clippings suspended under the deck for finer cutting.

These blades are 0.149 inches thick. This thickness is standard for heavy-duty residential and light commercial use, providing a good balance between durability and the weight required to maintain momentum during the cut.
