Ariens Lawn Mower Blade

This type of lawnmower blade is characterized by deeper curves on the ends, which create enough suction to circulate and expel the grass clippings into a bagger. It is designed to improve the way clippings are ejected out of the discharge chute. It also has larger wind wings that increase airflow. This helps prevent clogging when mowing wet or tall grass. Without a bagger, these blades put excess load on the engine and don't expel clippings as efficiently as low lift blades.  The wear and tear on a high lift blade are considerable, so there's a risk of using a dull blade without regular replacement. Blade erosion can happen over time due to debris, and the mower may offer noticeably less efficient performance when cutting grass. It is time to replace the blade if it has nicks and dents. For the average homeowner, a good rule of thumb is to replace the mower blades annually.  This part is compatible with specific models from Ariens, Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Murray. It is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.
