Oregon Gator Mulcher 3-N-1 Hi-Lift Fusion Blade For 48-Inch V style Deck on a John Deere Lawn Mowers or Snapper Model PMA480 Pro Series O Pro 7 Series 012 4 496-308 Overview
Gator Mulcher 3-in-1 Fusion blades are the highest quality blade we offer. Fusion blades have all of the great features of the Gator Mulcher 3-in-1 blades, but they also include Fusion technology in their cutting edge. Fusion blades have an ultra-hard layer fused at the blade's cutting edge, which means that the blade remains sharp and continues to give a clean cut far longer than standard blades. Gator Mulcher 3-in-1 Fusion blades are thru-hardened to a Rockwell C-scale hardness of 50 for optimum safety and durability, then individually straightened for a precision cut. Blades can be sharpened like any standard mower blade, although they will wear wheels much quicker. Gator Mulcher Fusion blades are made in the U.S.A.What about wet grass?Gator Mulcher blades actually work better in wet grass than standard blades. This is because the turbulence created by the tips of the teeth helps to keep the grass from clumping together. The updated 3-in-1 Gator Mulcher blades work even better in wet grass than the old style because they move more air and discharge the clippings faster.Learn more about Fusion Blade Technology (934K PDF file)Blade Length 16-1/2" (41.9cm) Blade Width 2-1/2" (6.25cm)Blade Thickness .203" (5.15mm)Center Hole Diameter 5/8" (16mm)Fits the Following Machines:Bunton (3) for 48" cut, V series deckReplaces Bunton Part Number PL4205Ferris (2) for 32" Cut, (3) for 48" cutReplaces Ferris Part Number 20843SGreat Dane (3) for 48" cutReplaces Great Dane Part Number D18086AJohn Deere (3) for 48" cutReplaces John Deere Part Number AM104489Lesco (3) for 48" cutReplaces Lesco Part Numbers 5011, 21871, 50111Scag (2) for 32" cut, (3) for 48" cutReplaces Scag Part Numbers A48110, A48184, A48184HL Simplicity (3) for 48" cutReplaces Simplicity Part Numbers A48184HL, A48184Snapper (3) for 48" cutReplaces Snapper Part Number 1-7043Toro (3) for 48" cutReplaces Toro Part Numbers 107-3196-03 (Recycler Blade), 107-3192-03 (Hi-Flow Blade), 107-3195-03 (Atomic Blade)Wright StaSAVE NOW on the special offers below!
