Bularie 04965000 High Lift Blades – 60-inch Deck (3 Pack) for Ikon XL/XD and Gravely ZT XL 60

Overview

The Bularie 04965000 High Lift Blades come as a three-pack, designed for 60-inch mower decks. They replace 04965000 and S-tens 310-042, offering broad compatibility with Ariens Ikon XL 60, Ikon XD 60, Gravely ZT XL 60, ZT XL 60 CARB, and ZTX 60. Built to support dependable mowing, these blades emphasize airflow and a crisp finish without promising guaranteed results.

Engineered for a balanced cut, the high lift profile channels air across the cut zone. The result can be a cleaner finish with less effort from the mower, while maintaining blade durability across typical lawn conditions. In real-world use, you may notice smoother clipping distribution and improved clearance when mowing damp or taller grass, helping the mower deck maintain consistent performance over time.

The blades arrive painted at the edge to indicate wear; as the paint wears away during initial use, the edge becomes sharp again. The 3-pack ensures you have spares on hand for routine maintenance, keeping your mower ready for regular yard tasks without frequent trips to the parts store.

Why high lift blades matter

High lift blades move more air than standard designs, promoting lift and dispersion of clippings for a cleaner, more uniform cut. This airflow can help the mower deck handle damp or tall grass more smoothly, reducing the chance of leaves or debris clogging the deck during mowing sessions.

In everyday use, you may experience a more even turf appearance and easier mowing through mixed grass heights, thanks to the blades’ distinct lift capability and robust construction.
