I have a BX2660 with a 60" mower deck RCK60B23BX. The only blades I can get from Kubota are the standard K5371-99040 which do not pick up pine needles very well. Kubota does not offer a high lift blade for this deck. Has anyone used an aftermarket blade that will remedy this issue?

take that part number and cross reference for the oregon g6 gator

once you have the part number for the oregon blade, take that to amazon and away you go.


I have the same mower deck, there is a g6 gator hi lift blade.

It will do the trick

I get all my blades from Agri-Supply (ASC) they carry the complete Oregon line including the new hardened edge blades.

Personally, don't like Gator Mulcher blades but that is a personal preference.

Thanks guys. It's good to hear from people that have actually used these blades instead of me trying to guess what will work. I ordered the Gator Blades before SidecarFlip posted his reply. I will let you know how they work.

I’ve used the Gators 2 seasons now. They’re okay for me, but nothing to write home about for mowing.
When I do like them is mulching leaves in the fall. I don’t rake, and have sugar maples all around. They work good there.

I am not impressed with the Gator blades. They do not do a very good job at vacuuming. I think they are a mulching blade, not vacuuming blade. I am using a Kubota bagger and running the tractor at 2500 rpm's, so it seems to have plenty of suction, but the blades have a hard time picking up the pine needles. I will continue my search for a high lift blade.

I'm using Oregon blades on the F3990 and Woods bat wing and all good.

Bought some from Agri-Supply but for me in KY, they charge tax on shipping, so will take that into consideration for next time
