Medium Lift Blades for 52 in Mower Deck - 6 Pack SCBHWJ

In this review the focus is on a 6 pack of medium lift mower blades compatible with common Ariens and Gravely 52 in decks, and the bottom line is simple: these replacement blades deliver reliable cut quality and a precise fit for routine deck maintenance. The reviewer found them best for owners of Ikon XL, Ikon-XD and ZTX series decks who need OEM-length blades without paying OEM pricing. The blades match the OEM 18 in length and 5/8 in center hole, so installation is straightforward and performance closely mirrors factory parts.

Key Features

• OEM fit: Replaces Ariens/Gravely 04771200 so users can expect a direct fit and easy swap with existing hardware.
• Exact dimensions: The 18 in length and 2-1/4 in width offer the same cutting footprint as original blades for consistent deck balance.
• Proper center hole: The 5/8 in center hole aligns with standard spindles on compatible 52 in decks, simplifying installation.
• Durable thickness: At 0.165 in thick the blades strike a balance between stiffness and serviceability for normal mowing conditions.
• Wide compatibility: Works with Ariens Ikon XL 52, Ikon-XD 52, IKON X 52 CE and several Gravely ZT series decks, reducing the need to hunt for model-specific parts.

Who It's For

The blades are aimed at homeowners and small-property landscapers who maintain zero-turn or garden tractors with a 52 in deck and want an affordable replacement that performs like OEM. If you regularly replace blades and need a 6 pack for multiple spindles or as spares, these provide good value and predictable results.

They are not intended for specialty cutting tasks that require high-lift, mulching-specific, or laser-cut premium steel blades; users with heavily worn decks or nonstandard spindle hardware should verify fit before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Cut quality is reported smooth and even, delivering consistent results across a 52 in deck.
• Blade fit is described as perfect for compatible Ariens and Gravely models, making installation quick.
• Offers value for money when buying a multi-pack for regular maintenance or multi-blade decks.

Cons

• Not a specialty high-lift or mulching blade, so those seeking a different airflow or clippings handling should choose a dedicated design.
