Are these the Gator Blades to get?

[JeremyBX2200]

I need to replace the blades on my bx2200 60" deck (RCK60). I have read people saying that Gator blades cut great, mulch things up more and even help keep the underside of the mower deck cleaner.

I wanted to make sure I was looking at the right ones.

G6 (if it fits your mower)... looks like you have the right ones.

Send a note to Oregon blades themselves. That is how I found the ones I use on my BX with the 54" deck.

How do you like the 54" deck? I plan on getting the Gator Blades for mine

I have no issues with the deck and the blades seem to cut better than the originals. I may look at making a block of plate to help mulching. I bought it during the height of the Covid panic and the 1880 was all that was available at the time and I have 5 acres to mow and was not using the push mower in August. Overall love the little machine, helps me work smarter not harder.

I ordered (still waiting on due to customizations) the BX2380 with the 54" deck, along with the mulch kit. After seeing how flimsy it was, I had the dealer remove it from my order. Plugging the chute is also my thought, along with the Gator Blades. Our having 6 dogs in/out their Pet Door 24/7, I'm concerned with grass being overtly brought into the house.

My moving from a Deere X739 with the mulch kit (which did great) I'm skeptical how the Kubota deck will perform.

I put #396-612 blades on my RCK60 on my BX2230. They have a 7/8" hole, the ones you posted have an 1 1/8" hole. I that what your blades have?

I would search on Amazon that part number and read reviews. I ordered G-6 blades and they were a little too long and would contact each other. I used an angle grinder to add clearance and they worked fine. The 2nd set I ordered, the blades were thinner than Kubota blades and I had to use a washer to get blade to tighten. Might be better off with Kubota blades from dealer or calling Oregon.

Thanks for pointing that out. I will have to remove my current blades and measure.

396 612 are the blades I use on my BX2360 60 inch deck also. Made the deck cut really nice but I get more clumps in wet conditions. I mow with them at 3200 rpm that helps some. Would be nice if the blades turned faster for finer clippings like my new Z726.

Thanks for the information. I have a set on my list to get soon
