• Redesigned front baffle manages airflow and controls clippings better.
• Blade spindle housings are made of ductile cast iron
  • Gusseted design puts reinforcement where it is needed.
• Spindle pocket reinforcement gives even greater structural durability.
• Adjustable anti-scalp wheels help smooth out the mowing job.
• Standard semi-pneumatic caster tires will not go flat from punctures.

The mower is designed to provide exceptional cut quality at higher travel speeds:

• The mower deck is stamped from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside, with fewer sharp corners, for reduced material buildup.
  • Provides precision components and long deck life
  • Single piece of steel means no welds to break
  • Provides a smooth underside, without corners, reducing material buildup
• 0.75-in. (1.9-cm) solid steel bar is welded to mower deck perimeter for added strength.
• The rounded corners of the stamped deck help distribute impact stress to reduce the potential of damage when the mower contacts trees, rocks, curbs, and other fixed obstacles.
• A deep-deck design of 5.5-in. (14-cm) delivers excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
• 1-in. to 6-in. (2.5-cm to 12.7-cm) cutting heights, in 0.5-in. (1.3-cm) increments, allow the operator to match all mowing conditions.

Unique baffling system allows grass to stand up before being cut, producing a uniform length and appearance:

• Baffling system eliminates clumping, blowout, and windrowing.
• Wide discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent, finished appearance in all conditions.
