The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade is a mulching blade set (2-pack) designed for 46-inch deck Cub Cadet XT2-LX46 and Troy-Bilt Super Bronco 46 XP mowers. It replaces OEM part 490-110-C203 and is ideal for homeowners who want finer grass clippings for nutrient recycling without bagging.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your mower deck is exactly 46 inches (measured blade tip to tip). This blade fits Cub Cadet XT2-LX46 and Troy-Bilt Super Bronco 46 XP, plus other models using OEM 490-110-C203. Check your current blade’s center hole diameter (should be 1-inch) and overall length (should be 20.5 inches). Verify your mower’s spindle bolt size (typically 5/8-inch) and that the blade’s offset matches your deck’s design—mulching blades have more lift than standard blades. If your mower uses a different OEM number, compare dimensions and hole pattern.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: 8TEN blades are heat-treated, hardened steel with a painted finish; they’re durable but may not match OEM edge sharpness out of the box.
- Installation: Easy DIY—remove spark plug, lift deck, use a blade removal tool or block of wood. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always sharpen after 25 hours of use.
- Common gotchas: Mulching blades require a mulching plug or kit (sold separately) for best results. If your deck has a discharge chute, you’ll need to block it. These blades may produce more vibration if not balanced—check with a blade balancer after installation.
- Performance: Cuts fine clippings that decompose quickly, but they’re not for tall, wet grass—use high lift blades for that.
Should You Buy It
If you own a 46-inch Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt mower and want to switch to mulching (or replace worn OEM mulching blades), this 2-pack is a solid, affordable alternative. It’s right for homeowners who mow regularly and prefer leaving clippings on the lawn. Avoid if you need bagging or side-discharge performance.
