Heavy - duty Deck

• Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck is fabricated from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge
• Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for better cut quality
• Deck easily converts from side discharge to optional Down Discharge™ mulching or PowerVac™ collection
• Sentry™ spindles with massive, 8-inch flanges anchored in a 6-bolt pattern, spread the force of impact for greater strength
• Spindle planes are fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate and combine with the spindles to form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and deliver a high-quality cut.
• Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion

Quik Ajust Tilt Levers

QuikAjust Tilt™ steering levers with "no tools" adjustment provide a 9-inch range for maximum comfort and fit while maintaining natural arm and wrist positions.

QuikAjust Drop Pin Height Adjustment

Raise and lower the deck easily with foot pedal and drop pin for precision cutting heights between 1.0 and 5.0 inches.

Reduced Maintenance

• Only two Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%
• Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

Rugged Construction

• Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability
• Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts
• Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance

Vigilant Operator Presence System

• Standard, low profile Roll-over Protection System (ROPS) structure with an adjustable seatbelt
• Dampened steering levers that return to neutral from forward and reverse
• Interlock switches that shut down the engine when the operator leaves the seat while PTO is engaged or levers are in drive position
