Oregon vrs OEM blades

[rsr2216]

Hello, new to posting but long time reader.
I acquired a snapper rer 30126xs from a neighbor. Only got to use it two times before the big "C" got me. This year want to use it. The rider has been looked after by a mechanic son in law so it did start right up after sitting for 2 or 3 years. I always bag my grass and leaves and I found a bagger that goes on the mower. The blade is Oregon 199-112 with 2 holes for the air lift wings to be attached to.
OEM blade has 3 holes for air lift wings.
Anybody use a bagger with out wings. I know the 30" isn't a hi-vac?

I don't have anything like you have, but my 21" Snapper is 23 years old and still working great... I use the OEM blade and the wings installed, and it pretty much picks up everything much better with them on.. I have used it so much I am about to replace all 4 tires for the 3rd time... It's the self-propelled model...

try - "Oregon® Gator® G3™ 96-677 is your go-to lawn mower blade in all conditions including wet, dry, and sandy turf. Gator® G3™ blades offer superior mulching, fewer bag stops, and cleaner side discharge than the standard manufacturer blade. It’s not a replacement blade. It’s an upgrade."

Never. Always use the air lift kits bolted to the blade. Best blade and deck on this planet. Will suck up spare change off your garage floor. Nothing from any other brand comes close.

Hi-Vac decks roll under towards the blade. Here is a Hi-Vac deck. Even says so on it.
