High-Capacity Mower Deck

The High-Capacity mower deck features heavy-duty 9-gauge steel construction, a 5.5-in. (14-cm) deep deck design, and upgraded commercial-grade spindles for exceptional strength and durability. Engineered to withstand seasons of hard use, it also features an optimized discharge system that helps power through tall, dense, and fast-growing grass for a professional finish across large properties and challenging mower conditions.

FlexGlide™ Caster Fork Suspension System

With flexing arms in the caster assemblies, FlexGlide™ helps the front wheels absorb impacts over uneven terrain, providing a much smoother, more enjoyable ride. This also helps stabilize the mower deck, reduce bouncing, and prevent scalping for a more consistent cut height on varying ground.

Head-to-Toe Operator Comfort

The adjustable 24-in. (61-cm) mechanical suspension seat can be fine-tuned to match your weight and preferred seating position for a more personalized ride and perfectly cushioned support. The suspension seat has 3 in. (7.6 cm) of vertical travel to absorb bumps and impacts, and allows you to enjoy your mow, not endure it. A large foot platform with a rubber floor and toe mat adds extra traction while helping further reduce vibration underfoot.
