XHT 3 USA HD Blades for TIMECUTTER SS5060, SS5000, MX5060 ZTR Lawn Mower 79016

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift (XHT) blades designed for 50-inch Zero-Turn mowers, specifically the TIMECUTTER SS5060, SS5000, and MX5060 models. They’re built for aggressive grass discharge and mulching performance on residential or light commercial properties.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 50-inch deck (not 48" or 54"). These blades are a direct replacement for OEM part 79016. Measure your current blade length (should be ~18.5 inches), center hole diameter (1 inch), and number of holes (3). They fit TIMECUTTER SS5060 (2021+), SS5000 (pre-2021), and MX5060 models. Does not fit other Toro, Husqvarna, or SCAG 50-inch decks without verifying OEM cross-reference.

Key Things to Know

• Material: Hardened steel with a thicker cross-section than stock blades—lasts longer but may require a sharpening pass after first few cuts.
• Installation: Easy swap—use a 15/16" socket, torque to 70-80 ft-lbs. Retorque after 1 hour of use.
• Lift: High-lift design improves bagging and side-discharge but creates more dust in dry conditions. Not ideal for wet grass or mulching-only setups.
• Balance: Pre-balanced out of box, but check with a blade balancer after sharpening to avoid vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own a TIMECUTTER SS5060, SS5000, or MX5060 and want a tougher, longer-lasting blade with better lift for bagging or side-discharge, this is a solid upgrade over OEM. Skip it if you only mulch in dry grass—a standard or mulching blade will perform better.
