The angle of the blade is very effective in promoting the continuous vacuum-like effect in the mower that leads the grass towards the cutting edge. With this, even with just a few passes, the grass will be cut repeatedly resulting in finely mulched grass clippings.

During the test, Oregon 92-616 G3 is one the best blades that was able to cut a considerable amount of grass in just a few passes. The result was so overwhelming and compared to other types of blades, the Oregon 92-616 G3 was the one able to deliver the most uniform performance from start to end. 

Moreover, the quality of the blade is phenomenal which makes it possible to last for an extended period of time compared to other gator blade models. It is 17-1/16" long, 2.5" wide, and .187" thick. It also employs 7 point star hole which makes it steady and perform vigorously.

In terms of performance, this EGO Power+ AB2101 high-lift blade is close to perfection. Compare to other blades, it offers the best suction force to straighten and pull the grass. With this, the precision of the cuts is unbeatable.

The EGO Power+ AB2101 has vertical angles on the edges that encourage maximum airflow and powerful suction. Its performance can be compared to the Oregon 92-616 G3’s which will give you smooth cuts and finish.

When tested for tall, dense grass, it managed to create cuts without struggles. The sound was flawless which reflected its effortless cutting action and there was no accumulation of grass in the chute. No blockage at all. Just unceasing performance that improves bagging efficiency and side discharge of the mower unit.

This 21" x 2-1/4" Maxpower 561714B is another solution to have if you both need pristine beauty and nutrients for your lawn. It comes as another great alternative for gator blades as its edges are also fashioned to effectively mulch grass into fine pieces.

The Maxpower 561714B has very distinct curved edges resulting in a more pronounced and wider cutting edge. It creates less suction power compared to the Oregon 92-616 G3, but it is still capable of pulling the grass to trim them into uniform lengths.

Furthermore, the curves are very helpful in transferring the trimmed grass to the deck, allowing for a continuous cutting process to occur. The generation of pressurized air is also sufficient to allow the clippings to escape and settle on the ground. The result is mulched grass clippings that are not far from the products of Oregon 92-616 G3.

Due to its compatibility with most standard lawn mowers, this 17 5/16" x 2 3/88” TEN LawnRAZOR standard blade is one of the well-known models on the market. 

It has slightly curved edges on both ends that create a suction force that drives the grass upward. Since the curves are just ‘standard,’ the pulling power is not that strong but still decent enough to create precise cuts.

When used in the right environment couple with few essential factors, this 8TEN LawnRAZOR medium-lift blade can be a reliable mowing tool. It can work incredibly in thick patches of grass and send the cuttings into the bags without problems. This is the reason why this is preferred by most users dealing with dense grass in neglected areas. In this kind of setting, its suction force is just enough to pull the grass and deliver uniform cuts. However, this might be a challenge for areas with a smaller mass of grass. With this, it is a must to assess your lawn and make sure that this type of blade is the best choice.

Despite having that ‘low-lift’ property, the Craftsman CMXGZAM110182 can still be beneficial in a lot of ways.

Compared to the EGO Power+ AB2101 high-lift blade and the 8TEN LawnRAZOR medium-lift blade, it has less pronounced curved edges. It won’t create much vertical pulling action in the grass, but it also means that discharging the grass sideways is easier. The cuts are also fair enough to give your lawn a clean look.

Moreover, due to its low-lift capacity, it is perfect even for dusty lawns as it won’t create too much air circulation that could disturb particles on the surface. This translates to the longevity of your mower unit as the possibility of dust settling into the deck is less likely to happen. Also, its quality won’t deteriorate fast compared to the blades with high-lift capabilities.
