Husqvarna 22" Painted Reaper Blade w/Notches for Lawn Mowers / HU725AWD, HU800 / 587199603, 587199601

What It Is

This is a 22-inch painted steel reaper blade with notches, designed for Husqvarna AWD mowers like the HU725AWD and HU800. It’s built for heavy mulching and bagging in thick grass, with a notched profile that improves cutting efficiency on large lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 22-inch cutting decks only. Measure your deck before ordering.
• Model compatibility: Direct replacement for Husqvarna HU725AWD and HU800. Also works on select models using OEM part numbers 587199603 or 587199601.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Husqvarna blade, not a generic. It matches factory specs for hole pattern (center hole, offset) and thickness (typically 0.1875”).
• What to check: Confirm your mower’s blade type – this is a “reaper” (not a standard mulcher or lift blade). Verify your current blade’s part number or measure the center hole diameter (usually 1” or 7/8”) and overall length (22”).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Painted finish resists rust better than bare steel. Edge holds sharpness longer than budget blades.
• Installation: Easy – just a single bolt. Use a torque wrench (approx. 40-50 ft-lbs). Mark the blade orientation before removing.
• Gotcha: This blade is not for standard Husqvarna push mowers (e.g., 7021P). It’s specific to AWD models. Also, it’s not a lift blade – don’t expect aggressive vacuum for bagging on wet grass.
• Notched design: The notches help chop clippings finer for mulching but reduce lift compared to a high-lift blade.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Husqvarna HU725AWD or HU800 and want an OEM replacement that mulches and bags well on tall, thick grass. Avoid if your mower isn’t an AWD model or if you need a high-lift blade for wet conditions. At $18.50, it’s a solid value for genuine Husqvarna quality.
