Do you need the John Deere z445 BM20827 mulching kit, or will these blades work well without the kit?

Mulching kit not needed, blade does the job. This is my second set of Gator blades, this set has a special (diamond?) coating on the cutting edges. I mowed most of last summer and mulched the fall leaves. I took the blades off this Spring to sharpen and found that sharpening was not needed. I'll keep an eye on them but I think I'll get another without sharpening them.

We just bought the blades without a kit, and they work so much better than the regular blades

They do not require the mulching kit. I got Gerber gators when I originally purchased my Z445 and these work just as well, although they are heavier (thicker and wider)

Yes the blades can be used. I have them on my mower. There is no difference as far as performance and they fill my bagger with no problems. My manual gives this blade as the current blade available. If you still have your manual, cross check the numbers and you will find that these are just fine.

Hello Chris,Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your mower needs.Just researched by your model # and the blade # is the GX22250 you mentioned.These blades do not replace that blade #. You should be able to search that part # and find a vendor that does sell them.Hope this helps.AMC Parts Store

Sorry, I would love to help but the mulching kit that I ordered for my husband didn't arrive as ordered. I ordered the 42" husqvarna mulching kit but received an Electrolux mulching kit. We returned the kit for credit and haven't been able to find another one. Good luck!

No. And it doesn't have a mulching blade either but you can change out the blade for one. It definitely needs one - I haven't had time to find one and do it but need to. I usually have to go over it a second time to get the stragglers cut down. I've gone back to a push mower for a better end result and only use this when it's too hot to push.

Yes they will work and I have been using a set for over a year on a Poulan Pro . They are much better than the ones sold by Sears as a direct replacement. I just purchased a second set of blades from AMC Parts a set of 2 Heavy Duty Commercial Mulching Blade to Replace 134149, 138971 Sold by: AMC Parts Store. They look like they might be a heaver duty set than the Oregon gator blades but I have yet to try them put.

I ordered the Gator 3-in-1 Mulcher Blades for my Craftsman 54" 27HP lawn tractor. I have a lot of grass that has to be cut. It can't be done in one day. These blades receive a brutal workout. They have managed to cut through the grass, small limbs and rocks that continue to grow on the property. They have done a good job. As long as your Husqvarna has a 5 point star mount on your blade spindles the blades should fit with no problem. They are a very good deal considering that OEM blades cost 3 times the price of these blades from Sears. Good luck and happy mowing. Don

The best answer I can give is yes. They are ready to install. The best blades I have used on my Deere tractor/mower. Heavy Duty.

They should. I like them as they cut better then regular blades sold with mower.

All I can tell you is I purchased them for a L110 John Deere and they were 1/8 of an inch too long each . Make sure you compare to your old blades.

Just make sure you order the correct length. They are no more difficult to install than regular blades. I put them on my JD285 last fall and mulched all the maple leaves in the yard. I left them on and don't plan to take them off.

I run with the mulch kit in all the time works well just replace the blades when needed likes sharp blades this blade works with that mulching kit just fine you will notice it when you back up how well it keeps it in the air to cut the grass into smaller pieces I have an extra pair of blades to change out and take my time to sharpen the takeoff blades so ready to go the right a way when blade change needed

No. There are dozens of different kinds of blades. You must match the mower model to the replacement blade model.

The mulching kit works great. You'll only have to rake if you have a ton of leaves, and even then I think you can just leave them. The leaves get chopped up pretty finely.

I wish I could help you with a more specific answer. I have a 42" craftsman and this was a matching part number for the mower but didn't come close to fitting so I ended up using mulching blades without a plug. I have a little over an acre and I am happy with the results without the plug. It was not worth my time to return this item so I would be happy to give it to anyone who would like to pick it up.
