Husqvarna 42" ClearCut® Hi-Lift Blade (2 Pack)

What It Is

The Husqvarna 42" ClearCut® Hi-Lift Blade (2 Pack) is a high-performance mulching and bagging blade designed for 42-inch Husqvarna zero-turn and lawn tractor decks. It uses a curved, high-lift profile to create strong airflow for superior clipping discharge and bagging efficiency.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check deck size: This blade is specifically for 42-inch cutting decks—not 46", 48", or 54". Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model fit: Compatible with Husqvarna models like Z242F, Z254, TS242, TS254, and many others with 42" ClearCut® decks. Verify your owner’s manual or existing blade part number (often 532 44 58-29 or 532 44 58-30).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Husqvarna OEM blade. Aftermarket blades may have different hole patterns or thickness; stick with OEM for guaranteed fit.
• Blade dimensions: Each blade is approximately 21 inches long with a 3-inch center hole and 2 mounting holes (7/16" diameter). Measure your current blade’s length, hole pattern, and thickness (typically 0.1875") before buying.

Key Things to Know

• High lift = more power draw: Hi-lift blades increase engine load and can reduce fuel efficiency. Not ideal for thick, wet grass—use standard blades in those conditions.
• Installation is straightforward: Requires a socket wrench and torque wrench (50–60 ft-lbs). Always lift the mower deck and disconnect the spark plug before working.
• Check for balance: Even OEM blades can be slightly off. Use a blade balancer after installation to prevent vibration and deck damage.
• Sharpening life: Expect 2–3 seasons of typical residential use before replacement. Sharpen with a file or grinder, but replace if bent or cracked.

Should You Buy It

This pack is a solid choice if you own a Husqvarna 42" deck and prioritize fast, clean bagging or mulching with minimal clumping. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use or wet grass, but for residential mowing, the quality and fit are hard to beat at this price.
