Hipa 48-inch High-Lift Mower Blades for John Deere — 3-Pack, 7-Point Star OEM Fit

These Hipa blades are engineered as high-lift replacements compatible with many John Deere 48" decks, including D140, D150, D155, D160 and E140 series models. Each blade is manufactured to the dimensions and mounting profile that match the 7-point star center found on the original equipment, providing fitment that’s ready to bolt on and resume efficient mowing.

Will these blades fit my John Deere 48-inch deck?

Yes — the blades are designed to match the common 7-point star center used on many John Deere 48" mower decks. They are sized to the OEM dimensions so they seat and secure the same way as the factory blades.

• Center hole: 7-point star pattern compatible with listed John Deere models
• Length: 17-1/8" (435 mm); Width: 2-3/4" (70 mm)
• Thickness: 5/32" (4 mm) with 1-3/16" (30 mm) air lift
• Sold as a pack of three blades for a 48" deck

How do these high-lift blades change cutting and collection?

High-lift geometry increases airflow under the deck so clippings are pulled upward and out through the chute or into the bagger more consistently. That suction helps with bagging, side discharge, and handling taller or damper grass compared with standard blades.

• High-lift edge profile produces stronger deck airflow for better collection
• Works for both bagging and side-discharge applications
• Improves mulch and cut quality when used on compatible decks

Are these blades ready to install and durable for regular use?

Hipa ships the blades with painted cutting edges to prevent corrosion and to protect hands during handling; the protective coating wears off naturally after mowing. The blades meet the OEM dimensions and are made from hardened steel suitable for routine lawn care, though normal wear and occasional sharpening will be required.

• Protective paint on edges for rust prevention and safer handling
• Made to OEM-style thickness and profile for strength and longevity
• Routine sharpening recommended for best cutting performance

How many blades do I get, and what maintenance should I expect?

This package contains three identical high-lift blades — the quantity needed for a 48" deck. Expect to inspect blades after strikes or seasonal use and replace or resharpen when dents, nicks, or excessive wear degrade cutting quality.

• Package includes 3 Hipa high-lift blades designed for a 48" mower deck
• Inspect after impacts; replace if bent or badly nicked
• Keep blades balanced when sharpening to avoid vibration

Who is this for: Homeowners and groundskeepers with John Deere 48" decks who want a direct-fit high-lift replacement for better bagging and efficient side discharge. These blades suit users who need OEM-style dimensions, strong airflow for collection, and a ready-to-install 3-pack to service a full 48" cutting deck.
