FAQ

WILL X-BLADES DAMAGE MY MOWER?!

Short answer: No — when used correctly on compatible machines.

There are a lot of misconceptions about running two blades per spindle, so let’s clear a few things up.

The X-Blade is a bracket that holds two blades at a true 90-degree angle, keeping the setup properly balanced on the spindle. Machines that are compatible with a dual-blade configuration are typically commercial-grade mowers built with heavy-duty components designed to handle the additional rotating mass.

The X-Blade bracket itself is engineered to give slightly on hard impacts, helping protect more expensive components like blades, spindles, and deck parts.

⚠️ Blade selection matters.

Using the correct blades is critical, and following proper operation guidelines—such as engaging and disengaging blades at 50–70% throttle—helps prevent unnecessary wear.

Proven in the field

The X-Blade system has been on the market for over 10 years, with hundreds of thousands of sets sold and used daily by contractors of all sizes.

Only run X-Blades on approved machines

Chute Blocker Note:

A chute blocker is not required to run X-Blades, but it can be beneficial for improving discharge control, directing airflow, and dialing in mulching performance—especially during leaf cleanup or heavy growth conditions.

X-Blades can be run:

During leaf cleanups
In heavy growth seasons
Or all season, if desired

The blades used in the X-Blade setup can also be run as single blades at any time.

If you’re looking to improve cut quality, vacuum, mulching performance, and discharge velocity, X-Blades may be the upgrade you’re looking for.
