LED lights are bright, long lasting, and resistant to vibration, unlike incandescent
counterparts.
Spreads grass clippings more evenly. Wing decks throw grass away from the rear
deck. Rear deck doesn't get covered up nor does it get bogged down by cut grass.
Not much wider than most tractors, making for safer transport. Meets most city/
county codes for transport width
Eliminates blade skips when turning. Tighter turns can be made.
Allows for maximum amount of wing deck flex.
Design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows and skips.
The AFM virtually becomes a zero turn mower.
When wings are raised in the full transport position, the wings lock in place, no
need to get off the tractor to lock. Pull rope from tractor seat to unlock.
23" Transport tires offer smooth roading and less grass compaction. Allows grass to
stand up. Tapered roller bearings offer longevity.
Allows a spindle to be replaced by simply removing two bolts.
Allows tighter turns without skips.
Rigid wheel yokes holds hills and slopes better. Safer unit than the competition.
Optional 15" tires for great flotation or 18" tires for even greater flotation. The larger
the tire the less compaction in pounds per square inch allowing grass to stand up.
Sealant in the tires minimizes flats.
Gives the mower gauge wheel arms a great deal of "hidden" strength.
The lower the pivot points are to the ground, the more side to side swing, allowing
for excellent flotation from each deck.
Safety features meet ANSI standards. Many competitors use chains for protection.
Once chains are removed the unit may not meet ANSI specifications.
Even dispersal, discharged items are always aimed downward. No rear chains are
needed, which tend to clump damp grass.
Constant velocity main driveline allows for tighter turns without harming U-joints in
driveline, includes slip clutch.
Guards against premature gearbox failure. Protects mower deck spindles.
Reduces start-up torque that is put on the driveline, gearbox, and gearbox support.
Handles start up torque.
40-70 hp (30-52 kW)
5 years on parts and labor.
Demonstrates our confidence in the gearbox's quality and lasting performance.
No guards to remove for routine greasing of blade spindles.
Uses less horsepower and allows material to escape the mower deck easier. The
discharge of material is more even. Design eliminates windrowing.
Applies constant tension to belt to run efficiently.
Easily release belt tension for changing belt or for winter storage.
Lifts grass up for a clean cut and efficient discharge of material. Tip rates as high or
higher than the competition.
Low Lift - Highly recommended in sandy soils where grass lift isn't crucial. Disturbs
the soil very little, allowing blades to wear longer.
Medium Lift - Medium suction for lifting grass before cutting. Requires less
horsepower than high lift.
High Lift - Greatest suction for lifting grass before cutting. Can take higher
horsepower in tall dense grass. Not recommended in sandy soils.
Mulching - Perfect for leaf mulching.
Transports locks can be released easily from the tractor seat while operating the
same tractor control lever that raises and lowers the mower decks. Eliminates
pulling a rope to release transport locks.
