      Seem like heavy duty quality. I have mowed about 20 hours on these blades on a farm in very tall grass and the mulching ability is very good. I’ll just be curious how long they will last.

      No, they did not fit my Cub Cadet 50 inch deck. They were 2 inches longer than the original blades. I had to return them for refund.
