MowerPartsGroup(6) Hi Lift Blades Replace Bad Boy 038-6050-00 60" Deck

We ordered several sets of these blades for our lawn care company last year. They used to be great blades for a great price!! This year, it appears they've changed manufacturers. 🤷 The blades, once installed, hit each other when in use. They'll go a little bit just fine, then then grind and clash.. then be fine again.. and repeat. In my pictures, you'll notice that I've compared measurements of a used set of blades we received last year. They are just shy of 20.5". The new blades are exactly 20.5". It doesn't make sense to me, since the 20.5" blades should work.. but they don't. 🤷 We contacted Molder's Outdoor Power, a local Bad Boy dealer.. and they only sell actual Bad Boy blades. They measured their blades, and they are just shy of 20.5". This little wiggle room seems to make all of the difference, as we've never had this problem before. I hope Mower Parts Group switches to their previous manufacturer of blades so we do not have to purchase the over priced Bad Boy blades. I will update my post with the name of that brand once we remember.🤦

These are not “replacement” blades for Bad Boy 60”, but rather “alternative” blades to the OEM. The Oregon brand I received was much thinner than the original Bad Boy and over 1/4” longer, but they fit with no room to spare. I don’t expect them to last anywhere near as long as my original Bad Boy blades did. I did have to return the first set I received because, although they had a Bad Boy sticker on the box, the Oregon blades were 18 1/2” long and had a star hole instead of 20 1/2” with a round hole.The new ones will work, but I’m wishing that I had paid a little more for the thick OEM blades in the first place. I would just send these back, but I have already had to once and I don’t really have the time to send these back, too.

They did a bait and switch. The blades advertised thickness were 0.25. The ones received were much thinner

Fraudulent listing.Blades are NOT .250” thick... NOT .240” thickBlades are only .203” thick, and that’s INCLUDING THE PAINT!.203” THICK (20% less than advertised)

Blade tips hit when installed on a 2010 CZT. Blades are about 1/4" longer than the factory blades, which are a bit shorter than 20.5".Blades also are a bit flatter than the original, but can't comment on what affect that might have on discharge in heavy great as didn't bother to finish installing them.

These blades are the exactly the same as the OEM blades at half the price. I have not had them long enough to say If they are durable. I would definitely recommend these blades. Seller was very reasonable with shipping time.

Installed on my 2018 Bad Boy ZT Elite mower and they work great.Two Points to mention:1) As other reviewers have mentioned they are slightly longer than the original Bad Boy Blades but they seemed to work fine on my mower. Blades turned freely and did not scrape mower deck housing.2) They are not as thick and heavy as the bad boy blades so they may not be as durable. Time will tell.Overall, very pleased with these blades especially for the price.

Product: MowerPartsGroup (6) Notched Hi Lift Blades Replace Bad Boy 038-6050-00 60" DeckThey are the same thickness as the original blade and the same exact shape. I like them better because they are slightly longer, yet fit perfectly, which means there is slightly more coverage outside and between the blades. Installed on Bad Boy elite 60"
