I don't think the Gator blade will be much different than what you l already have,

The G3 is not going to perform better than the Toro blade.

What is the problem with the blade?
Or, is it the mower?

Sometimes you simply have to try it to know which one or the other.

Probably off-target: I installed Gator G5 blades on a Troy-Bilt 42" mid-season in 2023 and for the first time ever at the end of the season the bottom of the deck was clean. It almost looked bead blasted.

Nope. Been mowing as a business for almost 10 years, used a lot of different blades. A blade is a blade, is a blade, is a blade. Well, almost. Get a standard high lift blade, keep it sharp (properly done, no rounded corners at the tip edge), and BALANCE it, and provided your motor up to spec, you will cut anything the mower will go over.
