71-103 Servis/Rhino Blade Pair

What It Is

The 71-103 Servis/Rhino Blade Pair is a set of two heavy-duty, heat-treated steel blades designed for Servis and Rhino brand rotary cutters (brush hogs) used on tractors or zero-turn mowers for clearing heavy grass, brush, and light saplings.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Deck size: This pair fits decks with a 60-inch cutting width. Confirm your mower’s deck is exactly 60 inches.
• Model fit: Designed for Servis models (e.g., 60, 60C, 60S) and Rhino models (e.g., 60, 60C, 60S, TW60). Check your owner’s manual or existing blade part number.
• Measurements: Each blade is 30 inches long, 3 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and 0.5-inch bolt hole spacing. Measure your old blade or spindle pattern to confirm.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM-equivalent replacement, not a universal fit. It matches Servis/Rhino factory specs for bolt pattern and thickness.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate – you’ll need a torque wrench (recommended 70-90 ft-lbs) and a blade removal tool. Lift the deck safely and block it.
• Common gotcha: These blades are heavy (about 8 lbs each). Use a helper to align them on the spindle – mismatched bolt holes can strip threads.
• Quality: Heat-treated, high-carbon steel holds an edge longer than standard blades but can chip if you hit rocks repeatedly.
• Balance: They’re precision-balanced out of the box. Still, check balance after sharpening – an unbalance can vibrate your spindle bearings loose.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 60-inch Servis or Rhino rotary cutter and need a durable, direct-fit replacement for rough brush clearing. The high price reflects heavy-duty construction that outlasts cheap universal blades. Skip if your deck is a different size or brand – fitment is specific. For light lawn mowing, consider a thinner, cheaper blade.
