60 in High Lift Mower Blades 3-Pack - Clean Cut Performance

In this review of the 3-pack 490-110-C187 high lift blades, the bottom line is simple: these blades are for owners of 60 in Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt or MTD Ultima and Fab series decks who want a durable, sharp replacement that restores cutting performance. The set is notable because each blade is heat-treated steel with a six-point star center hole and dimensions matched to 60 in decks, so installation and balance are straightforward and the blades deliver a consistently clean cut across wide swaths of lawn.

Key Features

• 60 in deck fit: Each blade is sized for 60 in cutting decks so it replaces the original blade geometry and maintains deck coverage.
• Exact center hole: The six-point star center hole matches the mower spindle pattern to reduce slop and make alignment reliable.
• Durable construction: Blades are made from heat-treated steel for strength and resistance to bending under normal use.
• Sharp edge: Factory sharp edges improve cut quality and help the machine move through grass more efficiently.
• OEM compatibility: Directly replaces multiple OEM numbers so buyers can match fitment to Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and MTD models without guesswork.
• Three-pack value: Supplied as a set of three, which is convenient for decks that require multiple blades and for future spare parts.

Who It's For

This blade set is best for owners of Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 and ZT3, ZT2-60 and ZT3-60 KW or Fab series zero turn mowers who need a like-for-like replacement to restore cutting performance. It suits users who prefer a ready-matched three-pack for a 60 in deck and expect durable, heat-treated steel that holds an edge under normal residential or light commercial mowing.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of decks smaller than 60 in or mowers with different center hole patterns. Also, if a buyer requires specialized mulching geometry or counter-rotating blades not specified by the OEM match list, a model designed specifically for mulching might be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heat-treated steel construction offers strength and resistance to bending for longer service life.
• Proper six-point star center hole and OEM replacement numbers make fitment straightforward and reduce installation time.
• Sharp edges restore clean cut quality and improve grass discharge for a neater finish.

Cons

• Not intended for decks other than 60 in or for spindles with a different center hole pattern.
• Buyer must follow correct installation orientation and torque procedure; improper mounting can affect cut quality.
