• Key features of the fabricated mower deck include:

• The mower deck is manufactured 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.

• A compact footprint delivers greater maneuverability when working in tight quarters.

• A deep-deck design delivers excellent airflow so material is processed quickly and efficiently.

• A powerful vacuum effect is created by the deck's unique air-flow design, which pulls more grass upright so that the blades can cut more evenly.
