Great performance and long life with a smooth and powerful V-twin engine
A V-twin engine with 44.2-cu in. (724-cc) displacement provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:
V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
Engine model M44
Electronic ignition for fast starts
Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
Spin-on oil filter with pressure lubrication for keeping the oil cleaner for long engine life and extended time between oil changes; pressure lubrication is also more effective when operating the tractor on an incline
Easy access to the no-tools oil drain valve for oil changes
Rear engine guard for protecting the engine and providing additional strength and integrity
Replaceable fuel filter and oil filter are easy to access and change to minimize service time and cost.
Get a clean cut with the flat-top design of the 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower Deck
The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds:
4.5-in. (11.4-cm) deep throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance
Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance
Mower deck is suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut
Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level, help smooth out the mowing job
Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
Reducing the amount of re-cutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal re-cutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
