Hedday 742P05094 50 Inch Mower Blades, 3 Pack Replacement Blades Compatible with Cub Cadet Zero Turn Enduro XT1 LT50, Ultima ZT1 50, ZT2 50, Fit for S-Shaped Center Hole (Ultra High-Lift Bagging) | Ultra High-Lift Design

What It Is

The Hedday 742P05094 3-pack is a set of aftermarket ultra high-lift blades designed for 50-inch zero-turn mowers. They are intended for bagging applications, where strong suction and airflow are needed to lift clippings into a collection system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

1. Deck size: These are for 50-inch mower decks only. Measure your deck width or check your model’s spec sheet.
2. Center hole: These blades use an S-shaped center hole (not a standard star or round hole). Confirm your spindle matches this shape.
3. OEM cross-reference: They replace Cub Cadet OEM part 742P05094. Compatible models include Cub Cadet Enduro XT1 LT50, Ultima ZT1 50, and ZT2 50. They will not fit standard 42-inch or 54-inch decks or non-Cub Cadet spindles without checking the hole pattern.

Tip: Measure your existing blade length (end to end) and center hole shape before ordering. These are 50-inch deck blades, not blade length—each blade is approximately 16.5 inches long, but always confirm against your current set.

Key Things to Know

• Ultra high-lift design: Excellent for bagging and mulching wet or thick grass, but creates more vibration and noise than standard or low-lift blades.
• Installation: Easy if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque to 70–90 ft-lbs per your mower manual. No sharpening required out of the box.
• Aftermarket quality: Only 1 review at this time, so long-term durability is unproven. They are likely hardened steel but may wear faster than OEM blades in heavy use.
• Check spindle clearance: High-lift blades can create more downward force; ensure your mower’s spindle bearings are in good condition to avoid premature wear.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet 50-inch zero-turn and primarily bag your clippings, this 3-pack is a budget-friendly option at $34.87. It’s a good choice for homeowners who want strong bagging performance without paying OEM prices. However, if you mainly mulch or side-discharge, a standard or medium-lift blade would be quieter and more efficient.
