Features | Benefits |
Counter blade rotation on center and right-hand deck |
Spreads grass clippings more evenly. Wing decks throw grass away from the rear deck. Rear deck doesn't get covered up or bogged down by cut grass. Prevents robbing tractor horsepower. |
5'-7" (1.7 m) Transport width | Meets most city/county codes for transport width. |
6" (15 cm) Deck overlap | Eliminates skipping when going into a tight turn. |
10'-11" (3.5 m) Cutting width three 48" decks |
Sized right for golf courses, cities, schools. Small decks give excellent flexibility. |
Sleek frame design, including single beam hitch and compact deck overlap |
Design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows and skips. AFM virtually becomes a zero turn mower. (Oversized tires may not allow this.) |
Automatic transport wing locks | 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 un-lock. |
Optional Hydraulic Transport Locks | Transport locks can be released easily from the tractor seat while operating the same tractor control lever that folds and unfolds the mower decks. Eliminates pulling a rope to release transport locks. |
18" Transport tires with tapered roller bearings |
Transport tires offer smooth roading and less grass compaction. Allows grass to stand up. Tapered roller bearings offer longevity. |
Removable transportation tire spindles | Allows a spindle to be replaced by simply removing one bolt. |
Back wheels on side decks in line with transportation tires | Allows tighter turns without skips. |
Zero turn radius | Sleek frame design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows or skips. The AFM virtually becomes a Zero Turn Mower. |
Rigid rear side deck tires. | Rigid wheel yokes holds hills and slopes better. |
10" Solid rubber deck tires | Solid rubber won't go flat. |
Square tube gauge wheel arms | Gives the mower gauge wheel arms a great deal of "hidden" strength. |
Low pivot points on deck | The lower the pivot points are to the ground, the more side to side swing, allowing for excellent flotation from each deck. |
Deflectors built into mower decks | Safety features meet ANSI standards. Many competitors use chains for protection. Once chains are removed the unit does not meet ANSI specifications. |
Rear discharge | Even dispersal, discharged items are aimed downward. No rear chains are needed, which tend to clump damp grass. |
Rounded front deck edges with no protruding skid shoe | Helps protect trees and other obstacles. |
1/4" (6 mm) Front edge & all-welded seams | Provides extra durability. |
Cat. 3 equal angle main driveline | Equal angle main driveline allows for tighter turns without harming U-joints in driveline. |
Shear bolt protection | Guards against premature gearbox failure. Protects mower deck spindles. |
Cat. 3 wing drivelines | Designed to withstand start-up torques. |
ABS guards | No paint to scratch off, lighter weight, no rattling or rust. |
Heavy gearbox mounts on center and side mower decks | Handles start-up torque better. |
Gearbox Horsepower Rating | 30-55 hp (22-41 kw) |
Gearbox warranty | Three year limited gearbox warranty. Demonstrates our confidence in the gearbox's quality and lasting performance. |
Sealed for life blade spindle bearings | No blade spindles to grease means no guards to remove to grease blade spindles. |
Middle spindle sits towards the back of the mower deck. |
Uses less horsepower and allows material to escape the mower deck easier. The discharge of material is more even. Design eliminates windrowing. |
Spring loaded idlers | Applies constant tension to belt to run efficiently. |
High blade tip speed | Lifts grass up for a clean cut and efficient discharge of material. Tip speed rates are as high or higher than the competition. |
Choice of Blade | Low Lift - Highly recommended in sandy soils where lifting isn’t crucial. Disturbs the soil very little, allowing blades to wear longer. Medium Lift - Medium suction for lifting grass. 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. |
