MowerPartsGroup (3) Reaper Blades Compatible with Ariens Gravely 52" ZTX ZTXL Ikon X Ikon XL 04771200 09659100

What It Is

This is a set of three aftermarket “reaper” or high-lift blades designed to replace the stock blades on Ariens and Gravely 52-inch zero-turn mowers, including the ZTX, ZTXL, Ikon X, and Ikon XL series. The high-lift profile improves grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making them best for heavy or tall grass conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 52-inch decks. Do not use on 48-inch or 60-inch decks.
• Models: Ariens ZTX, ZTXL, Ikon X, Ikon XL; Gravely ZTX, ZTXL, Ikon X, Ikon XL with 52-inch decks. Not for standard Ikon or non-XL models without verifying deck size.
• OEM part numbers: Replaces Ariens/Gravely 04771200 and 09659100.
• Measurements: Each blade is approximately 20.5 inches long with a 1-inch center hole and 7-gauge thickness. Measure your existing blade length and center hole diameter before ordering.
• Aftermarket note: These are not OEM Ariens/Gravely blades. They are aftermarket replacements from MowerPartsGroup. Quality and balance may vary slightly from originals.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy. Requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block of wood to prevent blade spin). Torque bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs.
• Balance check recommended: Aftermarket blades can be slightly out of balance. Use a blade balancer or spin test before mounting. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and spindle wear.
• Sharpness out of box: They come sharp but not razor-edged. Light touch-up with a file is fine for most users.
• Durability: Heat-treated steel, but may dull faster than OEM in sandy or rocky soil. Inspect for nicks after each season.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 52-inch Ariens or Gravely ZTX/ZTXL/Ikon X/XL and want an affordable, high-lift blade upgrade for better discharge and bagging in tall or thick grass. Avoid if you need OEM-matched balance or run in extremely rocky terrain where blade durability is critical.
