Are you wanting to improve your mowing performance and reduce unwanted hassles? Oregon Gator blades are a great solution for achieving this goal. These blades deliver a wide range of enhancements that will boost your performance and durability while also improving your mowing efficiency.
Gator blades shred longer grass blades before being discharged from the mower’s deck. The cleaner, more efficient cutting performance can eliminate the need to bag which saves time and hassle. Gator blades can be used all year long, but they are best in the fall and when mowing overgrown grass. One way to achieve the type of cut you want is by knowing the features of the different Gator blades (see diagram below).
High-lift lawnmower blades generate a lot of lift due to the aggressive blade angle. The exaggerated fin on the non-cutting-edge side of the blade angle increases air flow to push debris up-and-out for superior mulching, bagging, and side discharge. High-lift blades are great for cutting tall grass (over 3” tall) and flimsy grass (i.e., turf-type tall fescue). These blades should not be used in sandy soil conditions.
This enhancement delivers a superior mulching experience with a cleaner and more efficient cutting performance. It saves time and reduces hassles by eliminating the need to bag.
Blades that have x-tended cutting length have up to twice the cutting length. This optimizes the cutting efficiency with each revolution.
With the fusion technology, tungsten carbide is “fused” to the blade. This creates an ultra-hard layer at the cutting edge and increases the time between sharpening.
This enhancement delivers superior longevity. The greater width and thickness extends blade life and allows the high-lift arch to improve bagging and mulching.
The Oregon Gator G3 blade is engineered with core Gator mulching features. This blade is a great choice for normal and abrasive conditions. For those looking for a replacement blade with better mulching capabilities, the G3 Gator blade is the best option. The G3 blade is designed with advanced geometry on the cutting edge. It delivers a cleaner cut and has an aggressive blade angle to increase air flow for superior bagging or side discharge. G3 Gator blades will help you get that professional looking cut with any mower.
The Oregon Gator G5 blade is an ideal combination for a wide range of mowers. This blade features a high-lift curve as well as two additional premium features to improve performance and keep blades sharp. The G5 Gator blade is a heavier-duty version of the G3 Gator blade. The G5 stays sharper longer, increasing the time between sharpening or replacement.
The Oregon Gator G6 blade is a heavy-duty blade designed for commercial applications where extreme performance is required. It is built to withstand punishing conditions. G6 Gator blades offer the full range of features that make Gator series blades unique. The G6 Gator blade is the most heavy-duty of the Oregon mower blades.
