These Hipa replacement blades match the 6-star mounting pattern used on many Cub Cadet ZT1, ZT2, XT1 and XT2 54\" decks and are made from alloy steel for improved wear resistance and corrosion protection. The set includes three identical high-lift blades to replace the complete blade set on a 54-inch deck and is supplied with a painted edge to limit surface rust prior to first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will these blades affect cut quality and collection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-lift blades create a concentrated upward airflow that lifts grass before slicing, which improves bagging and gives a more even finish.
