Mid-Lift Mower Blades – GOLD Standard (Premium)

Balanced Lift. Consistent Cut. Built to Perform.

Mid-lift blades are the most versatile choice for everyday mowing. Designed to closely match OEM airflow, they deliver reliable cut quality across a wide range of turf conditions—without excessive lift, drag, or blow-out.

The Ballard GOLD Standard Blade takes that proven mid-lift performance and elevates it with premium materials, advanced edge technology, and extended durability. If you want OEM-style lift with noticeably better longevity and consistency, this is the blade to run.

GOLD Standard Blade – Premium Mid-Lift Performance

The GOLD Standard Blade is engineered to mirror the airflow and lift of factory blades while delivering significantly longer edge life and more consistent cutting results. Featuring Ballard’s Titanium Carbide cutting edge, this blade stays sharp up to 4× longer when used correctly—reducing sharpening downtime and maintaining peak performance for longer intervals.

Built from heat-treated, Rockwell-hardened steel and finished with Ballard’s signature gold coating, the GOLD Standard Blade is designed for operators who demand dependable results and premium durability in a mid-lift configuration.

Once you run GOLD, it becomes the standard.
