116-6358-03 Mower Blades for Toro TimeMaster 30 in - Durable Cut

In this review of the 116-6358-03 mower blades, the bottom line is simple: these blades are aimed at homeowners and small property owners who need a reliable replacement for a 30 in deck that balances sharpness and fit. The reviewer found the blades to be well made and precise in dimensions, so they bolt on easily to compatible Toro and Exmark decks and deliver consistently clean cuts. If you want a straightforward replacement that matches OEM hole patterns and offers decent edge retention, this review shows why these blades are worth considering.

Key Features

• Exact fit dimensions: The blade uses a diagonal length of 15-3/8 in and the specified hole pattern so it mounts on compatible 30 in decks without modification.
• Solid construction: At 0.138 in thickness the steel feels robust and resists bending under normal homeowner use.
• Pre-sharpened edge: The cutting edge ships pre-sharpened and painted for safety, so it cuts cleanly after initial operation when the protective paint wears off.
• Compatibility: Replaces multiple OEM part numbers for Toro and Exmark, which simplifies finding the correct blade for a range of TimeMaster and TurfMaster models.
• Mulching capability: The cutting edge length and air lift geometry support mulching on many yards, giving fine clippings when conditions and mower setup allow.

Who It's For

This blade is best for owners of Toro TimeMaster 30 in or related models and Exmark decks that require the 15-3/8 in diagonal blade with a 5/8 in center hole and 5/16 in side hole pattern. It suits homeowners who mow typical suburban lawns and want a durable, OEM-compatible replacement that installs easily.

It is less appropriate for heavy commercial use or users seeking specialty high-lift or scalloped mulching blades; professionals with high-hour schedules should consider purpose-built commercial blades designed for frequent sharpening and extreme wear.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Mulching effectiveness is mixed across users, so results depend on mower setup and grass conditions.
• Not marketed as a commercial heavy-duty blade, so very high-use applications may require a different option.
