Title:
BLADE RCK48 (KU-K518271840)
Description:
The Kubota BLADE RCK48 (K5182-71840) is a low-lift mower blade designed for 48-inch mid-mount and side-discharge mower decks. It delivers a clean, even cut while efficiently discharging grass clippings.
Moreover, its low-lift profile reduces airflow compared to high-lift blades, which makes it ideal for dry conditions, sandy soils, and dust-sensitive environments. As a result, it minimizes debris lift while maintaining consistent cutting performance.
In addition, Kubota manufactures this blade using hardened steel for durability. Therefore, it withstands repeated impacts, high-speed rotation, and regular mowing loads.
