How to Choose the Right Blade

Follow these steps to match the perfect GrassMax blade to your mowing needs

1

Identify Your Deck Type & Size

Check your mower's deck specifications. Are you using a side-discharge, rear-discharge, or mulching deck? What's the deck width?

Example: 52" side-discharge deck → Choose from 52" deck compatible blades
2

Assess Your Typical Mowing Conditions

Consider your grass type, moisture levels, and volume. Are you cutting thick/lush grass, dry conditions, or mixed seasons?

Example: Very overgrown or dense grass → Extreme High-Lift Notched
3

Match Your Collection System

If you use a PowerVac Collection System or mulching package, certain blade types are required or recommended.

Example: Using Down Discharge mulching → High-Low Mulching blade required
4

Confirm Mower Specifications

Check your mower's horsepower and engine type. Some high-lift options require more power. Review deck leveling requirements.

Example: Air-cooled engine <23 hp, dusty conditions → Medium Lift recommended
5

Select & Verify Authenticity

Choose your GrassMax blade and verify you see the Grasshopper logo stamped on the grass side. Order the correct quantity for your deck.

Example: 52" deck needs three (3) 18" High-Lift Notched blades
