Commercial Use: 3-year unlimited hours; limited warranty covering parts and labor.
Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty covering parts and labor.
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
REDUCED MAINTENANCE
Only two Access-Ezeâ„¢ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%
Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance
ULTIMATE OPERATOR STATION®
The deep-cushioned, deluxe Premium Comfort Seat features a coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support for all-day comfort.

Operational controls including throttle, choke and angled View-Ezeâ„¢ console and adjustable cup holder are well positioned for visibility and ease of reach
ULTIMATE OPERATOR STATION®
One- or two-handed operation with ComfortReachâ„¢ adjustable Hydra-Smoothâ„¢ dual levers that automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse position.
VIGILANT OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEMâ„¢
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

SIDE DISCHARGE CONTROL KIT
Control the discharge of the mower deck to avoid putting clippings in flower beds and on sidewalks
DURAFLEX® SUSPENSION FORKS
Optional DuraFlexâ„¢ Suspension Forks absorb the impacts of rough terrain to maintain a level cut, and can be set for use with PowerVacâ„¢ collectors.
BAR-TREAD LOW-PRESSURE TIRES
Optional low-pressure, high-flotation bar-tread tires are available for 61-inch and larger models that flex with the terrain for maximum traction and minimize scuffing caused by wheel spin-out.
Michelin® X® Tweel® Airless Turf Tire
Optional 24x12.00x12 turf-tread drive tire for MidMountâ„¢ models equipped with 61- or 72-inch decks, performs like a pneumatic tire but without the inconvenience and downtime associated with flat tires. Provides consistent hub height to ensure the mower deck produces an even cut and excellent lateral stability and outstanding operator comfort. Not for use with PowerVac Collection Systems.
Michelin® X® Tweel® Airless Front Caster Tire
Smooth tread, 13x6.50x6 caster wheel. Performs like a pneumatic tire, but without the inconvenience and downtime associated with flats. Not for use with PowerVac Collection Systems, or with DuraFlex Suspension Forks.
FOLDABLE ROPS
The Foldable ROPS allows the two-post ROPS to be lowered for mowing under low-hanging trees and other overhead obstacles, or for storing and transporting in enclosed trailers with low door clearance. CAUTION: Avoid drop-offs, embankments and steep slopes. Do not allow ROPS to provide a false pretense of security in hazardous areas and avoid questionable conditions. Always wear seatbelt when Foldable ROPS is in up-right position. When Foldable ROPS is down, DO NOT use seat belt, and drive with extra caution.
SUNSHADE CANOPY VINYL
Lightweight, water repellent, UV-resistant vinyl canopy mounts easily to OPS or ROPS to limit exposure to direct sunlight, reducing eye strain and increasing operator comfort.
SUNSHADE CANOPY ALUMINUM
