Do both blades need to be the same for a twin blade deck? Does it matter if the Stens blade has air lift notches while the other blade does not?

I would say "Yes" both blades should be the same, unless you have an "interference" deck that requires a different size on each side. Look at the old ones to be sure, or move the new ones by hand one rotation to make sure they will not contact each other. The air lift notches will help the grass stand up for a better cut.

Both blades need to be the same (hi-vac with upturned edge) if you want a proper mulching action under the deck.
936364
I would say yes, they need to be the same. I think, among other reasons, is the weight of the blades should be equal. These blades are for mulching so it doesn't seem logical having them different. You will be much happier buying two blades.

For a proper cut, yes both blades should be the same. The air lift notch blade will be cutting the grass two ways, so the cut will be finer, while the one with no air lift will cut only once and the grass leaves will be longer. The grass will be cut, but one side will look finer and will penetrate deeper into the grass while the other side will leave the grass leaves on top of the cut grass and leave you with a dry residue in the following days.

As long as both blades are of the same length and weight there shouldn't be a problem, if they are not there could be a difference in balance which would cause a good deal of vibration. which. in turn would damage the spindle shafts over time

I had the same dilemma. The dimensions are somewhat different (I'm not sure your can get as close to a fence with the twin force as the other) and I believe that the twin force does not have an all metal deck (check this as I am going by memory) but it may be lighter. It sort of depends what you think is important. I went with the 25312 and have been happy. I doubt you can go two far wrong either way.

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

No, those are different sets of blades. That set is also listed in our storefront.

My best guess is they can work as long as you have their rotation where they will not strike one another. You also need to make sure how far your existing blades are from your deck. If they are right at the edge, these blades may not work.

Comparing the pictures for both it looks like a match. BUT... the only way to be certain is to remove your existing fan and take some measurements. The blade diameter and mounting studs spacing must be the same. Also, you will probably encounter some issues that will require you to make some adjustments. Go through the reviews to get an idea of what you may encounter.

Two blades for mine. I think those that say one have mower deck that only take one. Mine takes two. If you buy the right model for your mower, It will have the proper number of blades for that deck.

Yes these blades are the correct ones for that model Cub Cadet they are not high lift if you have a bagger system you need high lift blades. These are heavy duty blades with a star center--

You can use this blade in place of the other. I had to replace my 4 blade so I use this for everything. The extra blades help draw everything into the center and chops ice much faster. There is no need for both and if your happy with your current 4 blade the only difference would be speed.

There should be no problem to change blade as long as you have the "Star" configuration, Be sure to torque your new blade

Tina, I have a D140 with 48" deck, and the blades are fine. I don't know if there could be differences between the D140 and LA140, though. Good luck, Roger

I don't think there is ... I had a pack of twin I bought accidentally and failed. Since I bought it Altra I thought oh well no using the twin blades up. Have you sent word to the manufacture?

There are two types of star blade mounts. The one used on less expensive mowers, generally, is a 5 star mount. On the JD 100 series and other JDs the star mount is a 7 star configuration. I have used this spindle on LA145 48" deck (3 spindle) and recently used them for a neighbor LA 120, 42" deck (two spindle). Interesting note: the LA120 original spindle broke off where it holds the blade. I noticed that these replacement spindles have a thicker shaft than the LA 120 OEM product. However there is no problem reinstalling the blade; it is a perfect fit. You'll understand once you see one. There are two types of star blade mounts.

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x

check to see if the MTD model number for your blades is listed as compatable.these are tough blades.

All the same. They're not great, but you can't beat the price. Go to Home Depot, and you'll get four blades for that price. I use a Fein multimaster, and the machine makes a bigger difference in the speed of cutting than the blade does. These ones just don't last as long, but as cheap as they are, I don't mind burning them up in one use cutting plaster or anything else they're not meant for. Even the bi-metal blades are useless in wood after you go through one nail. I usually save the dull blades for cutting Sheetrock or plaster.

Once the holes on ths wahl blade are in the same place as the andis it should line up on the gapper. Making it possible, if not then you cant do it using the zero gapper.
