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
Reduced Maintenance
Only two Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%
Self-tensioning belts minimize the cost and labor of routine maintenance
Vigilant Operator Presence System™
Standard, low profile operator protection structure (OPS) 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
PowerFold® Electric Deck Lift
Standard on all FrontMount™ DuraMax® decks, PowerFold® is the zero-turn mower industry’s first electric deck lift (introduced in 2004).
PowerFold® rotates the deck nearly 90 degrees to provide easy access to the underside of the deck for simplified maintenance and mulching package installation, plus space-saving portability and storage.
The feature also adjusts cutting height between 2.0 and 4.5 inches and controls deck lift functions using a single switch.
Ultimate Operator Station™
The deep-cushioned, deluxe Premium Comfort Seat features a coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support for all-day comfort. Iso-mounting eliminates vibration before it reaches the seat, and both padded seat and armrests are covered in scuff-resistant, breathable CoolTemp Cordura® fabric, which dissipates heat and won’t tear or crack with extended use.
Operational controls including throttle, choke and angled View-Eze™ console and adjustable cup holder are well positioned for visibility and ease of reach
One- or two-handed operation with ComfortReach™ adjustable Hydra-Smooth™ dual levers that automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse position.
