MaxPower 331376XB Commercial Mulching Mower Blade for 22" Toro Recyclers, Replaces OEM no. 108-9764-03, 131-4547-03, Black

I was a little unsure when ordering this blade because it appeared to be a different shape than the blade that was on my mower. Turns out it fit perfectly. The old blade had a gradual curve and twist that brought the tips down to the cutting level, where as this blade has a more pronounced bend that brings the tips down. See pics of old and new blade next to each other. This fit my 22 inch Toro mower. This blade was sharp out of the package, even with the factory paint still on the cutting edge. I’m able to mulch again with my mower. The improvement in performance between the old blade that I sharpened and this blade is dramatic. This blade is really good and it’s been cutting my grass great since I put it on. I would recommend it to anyone with the same lawnmower as me.

Works better than original, Nice cut and mulch.

I purchased a Toro Recycler about 4 months ago. It is the latest model with their Atomic Mulching blade. Have been very disappointed from the start with its mulching and cut quality. For a lawnmower manufacturer that has been around for as long as they have, and a model they call the Recycler, I expected a lot more. The mulching was just average at best. Couldn't handle more than the top 1/3rd or it would quickly clog up and almost stall the engine. Cut quality was poor too, with the edges of each row higher than the center, not a clean cut. So I thought I would try a different blade and see how it compares... So I settled on this MaxPower model. It looks very much like a Gator. I liked the look of it, and figured by its design it should cut and mulch well. First thing I noticed when I removed Toro's original Atomic and compared it with this side by side, was how much better this one is designed. The Toro blade is concave shape, where the cutting edges curve down with only the tips at the lowest point. Not going to get a clean cut with that design! The cutting edges of the MaxPower is parallel to the ground so gives a clean and neat cut. The build quality is better too. Is a lot more solid, weighs 850 gms as apposed to the original Atomic which was 800 gms. I have cut my lawns several times now with this MaxPower blade and it is absolutely fantastic! Does a FAR better job than Toro's original. It can easily mulch grass down to half its height without clumping or bogging down. Even on sections of my lawn that are very thick, it has no problem at all. The lawn is cut even and looks fantastic when finished. It is exactly what you would expect. For anyone that is looking for a replacement blade for their Toro Recycler, I would highly recommend this one. It is a far superior blade from the original Atomic, and is great value for money at this price.

Bought this blade to replace the worn out Gator G3 blade on my Toro recycler. Found it left a lot of uncut blades in my st. augustine grass. Granted the grass was thick but shouldn't have left that many blades. Also noticed a lot of full cut blades in bag when bagging. Took blade off and sharpeded/balanced thinking that may be the reason. Also slowed down the cutting/traveling speed to see if that would help. Made little difference. Replaced the blade with a new Gator G3 and made all the difference. No more uncut blades in lawn and mulch is finely shreaded. The gator blade seems to have a higher lift on the grass. Noticed that the shreading wings on the blade are designed differently. The Maxpower throws the cut grass outward whereas the gator throws the cut grass inward. Will continue to use the gator blade and use the Maxpower blade as a backup. Overall a good blade though.

Best mulcher for my toro electric mower. Works well even on wet grass

I ordered this blade based on other reviews saying it was actually a Copperhead blade, which it was based on build quality and the original Copperhead sticker that was under the new OEM sticker. Otherwise, the main reason I bought it was because I bought a set of Copperhead blades for my Toro Timecutter Zero-Turn mower, and they were fantastic. They hold and edge very well, give you a super clean cut and they're super quiet compared to the crappy Toro OEM blades. Buy it!!! BTW: As a side note, Toro should be embarrassed by the build quality of their newer mowers!!! They are junk compared to their pre-2020 products!!!

For what this blade cost, I figured I would give it a try. Upon arrival, it was balanced perfectly - couldn't get any better (despite what other reviewers have stated). I did sand the powder coating off of the cutting edge (just enough to see the first signs of of the metal cutting edge), though I believe it would have worn off in use. I tested the balance again, still proper. Installation was a 1-2-3 on my 4 year old 22" Toro Recycler - perfect one way fit. Before installation, I took a heat gun to the label glued to the blade to remove it, and interestingly found another label beneath it and thought say what? The label said Copperhead Mower Blades Rotary 15-12649. I popped that into an internet search engine, and found this Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Rotary-12649-Blade-for-Toro/dp/B009BTZT4S Similar price point, just apparently a marketing game??? Anyway, went to fire up the mower, and heard a considerable difference in that there is now a whirring sound coming from this different blade design. It isn't annoying, but noticeable, though you quickly get used to it and forget about it after a few uses. The blade does indeed mulch the clippings finer, and reduces the amount of grass collected in the bag. It seems to have slightly less lift or suction compared to the factory stock Toro blade, as it doesn't act like the vacuum cleaner it used to, and doesn't inflate the mower bag as much. I used to watch the mower bag deflate when it was getting full, though that is less noticeable now. You can still tell when the bag is almost full, though it is not as obvious as it used to be (I always put a brand new genuine Toro bag on every year for peak performance). The most pronounced difference was the reduced amount of times I had to empty the bag for the same amount of grass cut, so this design must be mulching and bagging at the same time, which is the best of both worlds for me. I have wasted many dollars over the years on items found to be inferior to useless. This blade is priced actually too low from my perception! I accidentally hit a rock that I always know to avoid, and expected the blade to have suffered some damage. I flipped the mower on its side to find no damage to the blade what so ever - very good metallurgy. NOTE: Make sure to tip your mower with the gasoline fill cap in the upward position. On my Toro recycler, this means tip it onto its right side. If you flip it the other way, it can get pissy with you (in my findings). Summary? I was skeptical, figured if I didn't like it I would resharpen my original blade and toss this one. Now that I have mowed with it a few times, it is a keeper!

This blade will make your mower suck, literally. When I bought my new Toro and couldn’t get a clean cut I thought no way a Toro can’t get a clean cut like a Huskevanna I had for years, turn out it was the blade I had was a higher air flow blade. With a higher air flow the grass blades will stand up more thus get a cleaner blade leaving no blades uncut when you pass over them. Specially in the Fall when you wanna collect all those leaves or whenever you want to clean the surface of the lawn. Surprisingly this blade mulch just as good. When you set it on bag mode in your toro, you will see the bag get inflated because of the high suction the curved blade end creates. Great blade , fits perfectly and works perfectly. Fits toro 22 inch recycler . Made in USA .
