I needed two sets of blades for my Craftsman GT3000 tractor w/48" deck, each set have 3 blades.
I went to Sears only to find they now only sell them 1 blade at a time, and the cost has gone up by 41% compared to last year when I looked - $21.99 each.
I spoke with an associate and asked why the price hike? He said last years price must have been a clearance deal and this years product is better. I explained that I was certain the part was the same and not on clearance last year.
In the end, I went to Lowes to see what they had. I found a 3-blade kit that was for my tractor for $33.95, that's almost half off the Sears price. I installed the blades and was very pleased, they are better than the last set by far.
Sears is charging too much, I'm not going to pay 40% more for something that I can get from another top name store nearby...
