The Cub Cadet 42 in. Sand Blade is ideal for mowing in dry or very dry environments, where sandy conditions exist such as Southern and Coastal regions. On average, this type of blade lasts three times longer than high-lift blades in these environments. Grass types best suited for this replacement blade include St. Augustine, Bahia, Zoysia, Centipede and Bermuda. This blade is designed with an inward curve that lifts grass providing an excellent side discharge cut while limiting the amount of dust raised when mowing in sandy conditions.
