deck question

have a 7012 42" deck 7016 48" deck and 4040 60" deck. The 42" deck does a perfect job. The pther two decks when mowing the lawn back and forth to stipe will leave an ever so slight sreak on the discharge side. I have heard that gator blades cure this problem giving these bigger decks more suction. I did not know they made these for 48" and 60" If they do what is a good place to get them? thanks

Don't know about the 48" but there not made for the 60". I don't get steaking on any of my 60" decks with oem or oregon blades.

I got a set of 48inch gator blades for a buddy a few weeks ago from Jacks. Took two weeks cause they were sold out. I would call them I I were you. Elon

All I use anymore are the gator blades, but there is no increase in suction and there maybe even a decrease because the blade is serrated and doesnt have as much lift. Thats just my opinion. They do however stay sharper longer.

The gator blades are avaiable in a hi-lift version. I bought some for a $%^*$# (toro) mower where I worked. They did have more lift than the standard blades. Just make sure you ask for the hi-lift blade. Ken
