8TEN LawnRAZOR Mower Blade for Cub Cadet CC30 Mini Riders 30 Inch Cut Deck 942-04385 490-110-M135 (Mulching) 2 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Mower Blade is a mulching blade designed for Cub Cadet CC30 Mini Rider mowers with a 30-inch cutting deck. It replaces OEM part numbers 942-04385 and 490-110-M135, and is sold as a 2-pack for simultaneous replacement.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 30-inch deck and is a Cub Cadet CC30 Mini Rider (or compatible model using OEM 942-04385 or 490-110-M135). Measure your existing blade: this blade is 17.25 inches long, with a 1-inch center hole and a 0.25-inch thickness. Check that your spindle assembly matches these dimensions—most CC30 models do, but verify by comparing the center hole and overall length. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Cub Cadet, so it’s not guaranteed for non-CC30 decks or other brands.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & Material: Made from heat-treated boron steel for durability, but some users report slightly thinner material than OEM blades—acceptable for residential use, not heavy commercial.
• Installation Difficulty: Easy; requires a socket wrench and torque to 70-80 ft-lbs. No special tools needed, but ensure blades are installed with the cutting edge facing upward (toward the deck).
• Common Gotchas: The mulching design may clog in wet grass—use at lower cutting heights or avoid damp conditions. Also, check blade balance after installation; a small percentage of users report imbalance out of the box.
• Performance: Produces finer clippings for mulching but may not lift as aggressively as standard blades in tall grass.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet CC30 Mini Rider with a 30-inch deck and want a budget-friendly mulching upgrade for typical residential lawns, this 2-pack is a solid choice at $32.95. It’s not for heavy-duty or wet-mowing conditions, but for regular dry grass cutting, it offers good value over OEM replacements.
