Features may include:
High-Performing and Reliable Kawasaki FX Series Engine- The reliable 23.5-hp Kawasaki® FX series engine provides commercial-quality performance with canister air filters, smooth power output and outstanding durability. Kawasaki FX series engines are among the most respected engine designs in the industry.
- The bullnose AirFX™ deck empowers you to deliver a cut above the rest. It features a deep-deck design that increases vacuum, lifting the grass to the blade for a superior quality of cut and professional finish. Its tough construction, including the spindle assemblies and air-gap baffle technology, stand up to the toughest commercial-grade workloads. The AirFX deck is available in two sizes, a 52-inch deck or 61-inch deck.
- The robust bullnose design provides optimal durability while lifting the grass and increasing the vacuum effect.
- The AirFX deck's steel spindles deliver the hard-wearing, long-lasting durability you need for nonstop mowing productivity.
- The deck's adjustable front lip optimizes your cutting capability for all kinds of mowing conditions and grass types.
- The deep-deck design and patent-pending Air-Gap baffles create powerful airflow throughout the cutting deck. This allows the cutting system to efficiently move the clippings out from the extra-large discharge chute and evenly disperse them on the ground or into the collection system. You can tackle tough mowing and get a cleaner deck at the end of the workday.
- Remove and replace as needed without cutting and rewelding.
- The flexible, molded chute is constructed for even clipping dispersal and improved deck cleanliness.
