High-Lift Mower Blades – GOLD Hi-Rise

Maximum Lift. Maximum Discharge. Premium Edge Performance.

High-lift blades are designed to generate strong airflow and suction, pulling grass upright for a cleaner cut while forcefully ejecting clippings from the deck. The Ballard GOLD Hi-Rise Blade takes that performance to the highest level with advanced blade geometry, premium materials, and an edge engineered to last.

Built for demanding mowing conditions and operators who want the strongest lift and discharge Ballard offers, the GOLD Hi-Rise is the blade of choice when performance matters most.

GOLD Hi-Rise Blade – Elite High-Lift Performance

The GOLD Hi-Rise Blade combines the highest lift on the market with a custom curved fin design that increases vacuum and clipping velocity at discharge. This results in cleaner cuts, reduced clumping, and more efficient deck performance—especially in thick or fast-growing grass.

At the cutting edge, Ballard’s Titanium Carbide coating delivers exceptional durability, allowing the blade to stay sharp up to 3–4× longer when used correctly. Paired with a thicker, wider blade body and hardened steel construction, this blade is built to outlast and outperform standard high-lift options.

Once you run GOLD Hi-Rise, there’s no going back.
