724 cc (44.2 cu. in.) Commercial Turf, V-Twin, OHV engine Heavy-duty components enhance power and reliability Five-step, Integrated Cyclonic Air Management System for cleaner performance Extended maintenance intervals Three-year limited commercial engine manufacturer warranty (see dealer for details)
DESIGN-MATCHED TRANSMISSION
Design-matched, fully hydraulic Parker HT Series integrated pump-and-wheel-motor transmissions with in-line cooling fans and fine-particle filtration No power-robbing gearbox or other wear parts for longer service life Provides best-in-class transmission fluid change interval with no break-in period, reducing costs and maintenance time
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
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.
