Timecutter 42 in Blades for Toro Timecutter Z Mowers - 2 Pack

In this review the reviewer tested the Timecutter 42 in blades sold as a 2 pack and finds they are aimed at owners of Toro Timecutter Z mowers with a 42 in deck who need a straight replacement for worn or damaged blades. The single biggest reason to consider these blades is compatibility and durability: they match the Toro 110-6568-03 center hole pattern and are manufactured and tested to withstand rough mowing conditions, making them a practical option for lawns that see heavy growth or occasional tough terrain.

Key Features

• Exact fit for Toro models: These blades replace Toro 106-2247-03, 110-1857-03 and 110-6568-03 so they fit SS4235, Z4235, Z4200, SS4260 and SS4200 models with a 42 in deck.
• Correct center hole: The blades use a Circle(5/8') center hole which ensures proper mounting on compatible Timecutter spindles and reduces wobble when installed correctly.
• Robust dimensions: At 21-5/8' long, 2-1/4' wide and 5/32' thick, the metal profile balances strength and weight for sustained cutting performance.
• Medium lift design: The 15/16' lift is intended to move clippings effectively for bagging or side discharge and to handle thicker growth without bogging the deck.
• Factory protective finish: The cutting edges are painted to prevent rust and protect hands during installation, with the paint wearing off normally after use.
• Rigorous testing: These blades undergo Rockwell Hardness, V-bend, chip, balance and field tests to help ensure consistent cutting and durability.

Who It's For

These blades are for homeowners and small property owners who run Toro Timecutter Z series mowers with a 42 in deck and a 5/8' circular spindle hole. They suit users who mow mixed lawn conditions including overgrown weeds and rough patches where a tougher blade profile and medium lift are beneficial.

They are less appropriate for riders with nonmatching spindle hole patterns or those who expect factory razor sharp edges out of the box; some customers find sharpening improves cut quality. Also, users needing low-lift mulching blades should look for a different blade profile.
