How does the hi-lift design affect cutting and bagging?

Hi-lift blades generate stronger airflow under the deck, which helps lift grass for a cleaner cut and improves material movement into the bagging system. This blade’s profile is intended to enhance discharge and collection on compatible rear-engine riders without altering deck geometry.

• Higher suction lifts grass for an even cut.
• Improved clippings ejection supports bagging or side-discharge options.
• Maintains deck balance when installed correctly.

How do I install and maintain the Stens 335-307 blade?

Installation follows standard mower blade replacement steps: disconnect spark, raise and secure the mower, remove the old blade, orient the new blade with cutting edge and holes aligned, and torque the mounting bolt to manufacturer spec. Keep the blade sharp and balanced; replace if bent or excessively worn.

• Safety first: disconnect spark and stabilize the mower before work.

• Balance and sharpen regularly for best performance.
