The Cub Cadet 742P04290A-X Xtreme Blades are a two-pack of 23-inch mulching blades for 46-inch Cub Cadet decks. They are the factory replacement for the Xtreme mulching setup, so they bolt on without adapters. Each blade weighs about 3.7 lb, which is heavier than a standard high-lift blade and helps the deck hold grass up for finer clippings. They suit owners of 46-inch Cub Cadet riders and walk-behinds who mulch and want a direct-fit part; shoppers after a bagging or side-discharge blade should look at a high-lift set instead.
