Oregon Gator Mulching Blade For 48 Inch Walk Behinds, Quick Tracks - 396-735

The Oregon Gator G6 396-735 blade is enhanced with carbide. This heavy duty blade is designed for commercial applications and built to withstand rough conditions with top performance and longevity.

Gator Mulching Blades that fit a John Deere 48-inch deck. Gator Blades feature teeth on the back side of the blade. These teeth do not cut the grass a second time, they redirect the airflow under the deck to bring the grass clippings back towards the center of the blade to be cut again. This results in shorter clippings and less windrowing (Piling up of grass) as it comes out of the deck.

Another nice feature about the Gator blades is they have less vacuum that regular mower blades. This will allow you to mow over some rocks and sticks without picking them up and launching them as far as the regular blades do.
