In stockMower Blade

Overview

The Oregon 396-740 is a Gator G6 mulching mower blade, 20-1/2 in long, made as a replacement for Dixie Chopper commercial mowers. Tungsten carbide is fused into the cutting edge to hold sharpness longer, and the Gator teeth recut clippings for mulching or cleaner discharge. It is built for commercial use and rough conditions.

Key features

  • Gator G6 design with tungsten carbide fused into the cutting edge for longer time between sharpening
  • X-Tended Cutting Length for more cutting efficiency per revolution
  • Wider, thicker blade body for longer life and a longer lift arch for better bagging and mulching
  • Aggressive lift angle increases airflow to move clippings up and out
  • 5/8 in center hole

Fits

  • Mowers: Dixie Chopper (Oregon lists it as compatible with Dixie Chopper). Resellers commonly sell it in sets of three for 60 in decks and cross-reference it to Dixie Chopper 74943; confirm against your deck's parts list.
  • Typical equipment: Dixie Chopper commercial mowers
  • How to confirm fitment: compare blade length (20-1/2 in), center hole (5/8 in) and width with your old blade, and check your mower's model and serial number in the deck parts list. Send us those numbers and our team will confirm before you order.
