In most mowing conditions, the standard high-lift
blades will provide the best bagging performance.
The Toro Atomic blade is recommended for bagging
leaves in dry conditions. In dry dusty conditions, the
medium-lift or low-lift blades reduces dust and dirt
blowout while providing effective bagging air flow.
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper
blades for different mowing conditions.
Refer to the mower Operator's Manual for more
information on installing blades.
