52'' Deck Mower High-Lift Blades (04771200) Fits ZT XL, ZT X, IK ON XL ARI ENS IKO N X, Zero Turn Mower (3 PCS)

What It Is

These are three high-lift blades designed for 52-inch zero-turn mower decks. The high-lift profile increases airflow under the deck, improving grass discharge and bagging performance, making them ideal for thick or wet grass conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your blade length (must be 52-inch deck blades, typically 18-20 inches long). Check that your mower model is from the ZT XL, ZT X, or IKON X series by Ariens, Gravely, or Ikon. OEM part number 04771200 is the direct reference; these are aftermarket replacements. Verify the center hole diameter (usually 1 inch) and blade offset (often 0.5-0.75 inches) match your spindle. Cross-reference with your owner’s manual or existing blade part number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: High-lift blades are more aggressive; they may wear faster on sandy or rocky terrain but cut cleaner in dense grass.
• Installation: Easy to swap with basic tools—use a socket wrench and torque to manufacturer spec (typically 70-90 ft-lbs). Always lift the deck and block it safely.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades create more debris throw; avoid using without a mulching plug or bagger if you want a clean finish.
• Fitment: Not compatible with 52-inch decks from other brands (e.g., John Deere, Husqvarna) unless you verify exact dimensions.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Ariens, Gravely, or Ikon zero-turn with a 52-inch deck and need to handle thick or wet grass with better discharge, these blades offer a solid upgrade without OEM markup. Skip them if you mostly mulch or mow dry, fine turf.
