Put gators on my 42" deck this spring and can't say they do any better than original equipment. I don't think I would spend the extra $$ again. However, I have not had them off to sharpen so maybe if they are holding a better edge they will be worth the $$ but, for performance in cutting and mulching I see no difference???? Dan

They stay sharper than OEM and seem quiter than OEM, but won`t make a bit of difference mulching if the discharge side is not blocked off.

The ones on my 48" deck cut the clippings finer than the standard blades -- this is especially noticeable the grass is tall when you're cutting 2" - 3" or more off the top of the grass... Haven't tried them on a 42" deck. I bought them primarily to use when picking up leaves with the vac and they do a great job there -- if the leaves are dry, they get pulverized...

I would stick to stock blades. I am very displeased with the gators on my 42" deck. Somehow my clippings are larger than with factory blades, cuts more like a sickle mower. I have trouble with the deck clogging in 3-4 inch deep grass.
