OregonGator Mulcher 3-N-1 Lawn Mower Blade For Toro 22-Inch Recycler 94-907 96-607

I was skeptical ordering this blade as I have a newer Toro personal pace mower and the picture showed just one central bored hole. I have two but one reviewer wisely noted that this blade came with three bored holes to universally fit the older toro single bolt hub and the newer dual bolt hub. I took a chance and ordered.It came with three bored holes and fits the hub channels perfectlyI was never fully happy with the Toro as a mulching mower. As you've read, they have a tendency to leave clumps of grass on the lawn when mulching. I noticed a big difference after installing this blade. First off was the sound of the mower. I shut the blade down as I thought someone was mowing close to me. There wasn't. It was the sound of the blade whirring with more lift or what I perceived to be vacuum than the oem atomic blade. That raised an eyebrow.Second was the cut. No clumps. I did sharpen the blade before installing it. I like to keep the blades sharp. The grass is vigorously growing in my neck of the woods as I write this (Spring) so twice a week cutting is in order to keep things tidy. The mower is working as I Initally envisioned it would when I bought it. The clumping of mulch was a negative. With the gator blade it restored this to a positive.For what it's worth I noticed no difference or under performing while bagging (which I rarely do) or with the mowers side discharge capabilities. I have not tried it with leaves yet. All in I'm happy with the purchase. No surprises and a better looking lawn IMHO.

I am very impressed with the way this blade mulch’s the grass under my 22inch toro 3/1. Is performs much better than the stock toro blade. This blade fit perfect no extra hardware necessary. I was surprised and disappointed at how dull it was from the factory. I had to spend a fair amount of time getting a sharp edge on it but once I did, it worked very well.

This blade is much better than factory Toro blade. It mulches the grass really well. The one thing that bothered me was that it was much louder than the factory blade. I realized that this was because the blade created a better draft to lift up the grass to be cut and mulched.

Looks to be made of heavy gauge metal. Time will tell how durable it is. Needed to be sharpened before first use probably due to safety issues with shipping. Amazing first cut.

Due to the fact that blade was painted Ibhad to file the blade to sharpen it. It may have been for safety purposes during shipping but it does not mulch properly. I will have to sharpen it again
