Briggs Stratton 596-347 Gator G5 Mulching Blade 21 in

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 596-347 is a Gator G5 mulching blade designed as a direct replacement for Scag mowing equipment. The G5 designation refers to the fifth-generation Gator blade profile, which features a multi-point serrated trailing edge that fractures clippings into finer particles during the cutting cycle. At 21 inches in cutting length, this blade is sized for mid-deck commercial and residential walk-behind and zero-turn mowers. Installation is handled by lawn equipment technicians or experienced equipment operators performing scheduled blade maintenance.

This blade is intended for use on Scag-branded mowing platforms that accept a 21-inch Gator-style replacement blade. The Gator G5 profile is typically selected for mulching applications or in conditions where fine clipping dispersal is preferred, such as high-growth season mowing or leaf mulching in fall service work. It is a Briggs Stratton supplied part, sourced through their lawn and garden parts and accessories line.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed by a qualified lawn equipment technician or a mechanically competent operator following the equipment manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect the spark plug wire and engage all safety locks before removing the deck or accessing the blade. Use a torque wrench to fasten the blade bolt to the manufacturer's specified value listed in the equipment service manual.
