It measures 18.5 inches in length and is built with tungsten carbide fused directly into the cutting edge, creating an ultra-hard layer that extends the time between sharpenings. The blade weighs 3.23 pounds and is manufactured in a black finish. An X-Tended Cutting Length geometry optimizes cutting efficiency with each revolution, while the aggressive blade angle increases airflow to push debris upward for improved bagging or side discharge. Landscapers, groundskeeping crews, and equipment technicians install this blade as a direct upgrade over standard OEM blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 596-333 is suited for residential and light commercial mowing applications where mulching performance and reduced re-sharpening intervals are priorities. The Gator Mulcher design produces cleaner, more efficient cutting action and can eliminate the need to bag clippings, reducing total mow time. This blade is listed as a replacement for Cub Cadet mower decks. The center hole diameter is 0.75 inches, matching standard spindle hub configurations found on common walk-behind and riding mower platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTungsten carbide fused into the cutting edge for extended sharpness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-Tended Cutting Length geometry maximizes cutting efficiency per revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAggressive blade angle increases airflow for superior bagging and side discharge performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGator Mulcher design reduces or eliminates the need to bag clippings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for Cub Cadet OEM blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed as a replacement blade for Cub Cadet mowers.
