8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade for Toro Time Cutter ZS SW 5000 115-5062-03 50 Inch Deck (Toothed Mulching) 3 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade is a toothed mulching blade replacement for Toro Time Cutter ZS and SW 5000 zero-turn mowers with a 50-inch deck. It replaces OEM part 115-5062-03 and is designed for fine mulching of grass clippings.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 50-inch cutting deck only (3-blade set).
• Model fit: Toro Time Cutter ZS 5000 and SW 5000 series.
• OEM cross-reference: 115-5062-03 (OEM part number).
• Measurement check: Blade length is 18 inches, center hole diameter 1 inch, with a 5-point star center hole. Verify your deck’s spindle pattern matches before ordering.
• Aftermarket note: This is a third-party blade, not OEM Toro. Fitment is confirmed for listed models, but double-check your mower’s serial number or deck part number.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and a torque wrench (recommended 70-90 ft-lbs). Lift mower safely and block deck.
• Quality: 8TEN blades are heat-treated for durability, but some users report slight balance differences vs. OEM. Check balance before installing.
• Mulching performance: The toothed edge chops clippings finer than standard lift blades, but may clog in wet or tall grass. Keep deck clean.
• Gotcha: The star center hole design fits Toro’s spindle. If your deck uses a different pattern (e.g., round with keyway), these won’t work.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you want an affordable, direct-fit mulching upgrade for your Toro Time Cutter ZS/SW 5000 with a 50-inch deck and prefer fine clippings over bagging. The single review is perfect, but limited feedback means cautious buyers might stick with OEM. Best for homeowners who mow regularly and want a sharp, balanced blade without paying Toro’s premium.
