This is a 3-pack of 52-inch deck mower blades designed for zero-turn mowers from Ariens (IKON X Edge, IKON XL) and Gravely (ZTX, ZT XL). They’re meant for medium-to-large residential or light commercial cutting, replacing OEM part numbers 04771200, 00450300, 04794400, and 70716200.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify these three things:
- Deck size: These blades are for a 52-inch cutting deck only. Measure your deck width if unsure—don’t assume based on model name alone.
- Model series: Confirmed fit on Ariens IKON X Edge, IKON XL, and Gravely ZTX, ZT XL. Not for older IKON or standard ZT models without “X” or “XL” in the name.
- OEM cross-reference: They replace OEM numbers listed above. If your mower uses a different OEM blade number (e.g., 04771201), measure length and center hole size to compare. These blades are aftermarket, not OEM—expect slight finish differences but same dimensions.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Made from heat-treated steel (hardness around RC 48-52). Good for grass and light debris, but not for rocky or stump-heavy areas—dull faster than premium OEM blades.
- Installation: Standard center hole and two wing holes. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 70-90 ft-lbs. Lift the deck or block it securely—zero-turn decks are heavy.
- Gotchas: These blades are not universal—even if they look similar, wrong length or offset can cause deck damage or poor cut. Also, check blade thickness (typically 0.204-0.25 inch) to ensure it matches your spindle.
- Balance: They come pre-balanced, but always check with a blade balancer before installing. An unbalanced blade vibrates and wears spindles.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you need a budget-friendly 3-pack for a 52-inch Ariens IKON X Edge/XL or Gravely ZTX/ZT XL, and you don’t mind aftermarket blades for routine grass cutting. Skip it if you mow rough terrain, want OEM fit assurance, or need a different deck size. For the price, it’s a solid value for non-commercial use.
