Lawn Mower Handling and Performance

62 inches (157 cm) – low deck mower:

• The mower can discharge or apply mulch sideways.
• Durable plastic deflector evenly distributes grass debris on your lawn, folds up, and can be lifted to minimize storage space.

Deep plate drilling ensures high productivity and fast work progress. It allows cut and hung material to leave the deck quickly; reducing the number of new cuts so more power is available to handle oncoming grass:

• Significantly improves the cutter’s ability to maintain excellent cutting performance in difficult cutting conditions and at high speeds.

The massive drain is tall and wide to accommodate more material:

• Provides a uniform discharge of cut grass at all cutting speeds.
• Reduces the possibility of clogging, which is especially important when working on wet, dense, or dense grass.
• The Power Flow ™ 48A blower has a 50% wider inlet housing than the Power Flow 48X blower used in previous machines.

Quality Cut

The deep padding of the cutting deck ensures excellent cutting quality. It allows you to leave room for cutting and suspended material so that it is no longer cut:

• Reducing the number of cuts allows you to use more energy to cut incoming grass, significantly increasing the mower’s power.
• Helps maintain excellent cut quality at higher cutting speeds.
• The clean flow of material from the exit area prevents cut material from hitting incoming cut grass so that the blades can cut incoming material in an organized manner.
• Even in mulch mode, cutting uniformity is improved over other models, as the additional depth provides continuous circulation, optimal cutting, and even distribution of material to be cut.

Durability

The 48A Mower Deck has sturdy shaft recesses to keep knives level even after years of heavy use:

• Ribs in the shell increase strength when needed.
• The 48A weighs 23 percent more than the 48 “Edge ™ Xtra 122 cm mower deck has been used on previous machines.

The mower wheels are double captured:

• Provides increased strength and durability for trouble-free durability.
• Thanks to the individually adjustable screws, the wheels can be quickly adjusted to the correct height for the cutting height.
• Low tension belt drive design reduces the lateral load on lower motor bearings and deck bearings to extend service life.

The 48A mower deck measures 5/8 inches and 16mm diameter solid steel side bumper for added strength and protection.

Two-stage powder-coated electronic coating provides additional protection against rust.

Versatility

The 48A mower is designed for maximum versatility and offers the most incredible ease in switching from one mower to another:

• If the optional MulchControl accessory is installed (together with special mulch blades), it is possible to change from side-discharge to mulch or vice versa by merely pressing the lever.
• The Power Flow excavator can be used with the MulchControl attachment and blades installed simply by moving the MulchControl lever to the side dump position.

Accessories

An optional 6.5 bushel (230 l) material collection system is available for the Back Power-Packer (MCS). It is an effective way to harvest leaves and prune herbs.

The operator can control the cuts with MulchControl. The operator can now take advantage of all the benefits of mulching and, if necessary, quickly switch to side discharge or bagging.

The flat top of the deck is ideal for keeping you and the operator clean.

ZTrak Mowers are built around a welded and stamped reinforced steel frame for added strength and reliability.

The operator platform is spacious and organized for maximum comfort, and the controls are easy to use.
