	Sealant in the tires minimizes flats.
1/4” Gauge wheel arms	Gives the cutter 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.

	Once chains are removed the unit may not meet ANSI specifications.
Rear discharge	Even dispersal, discharged items are always aimed downward. No rear chains are
	needed, which tend to clump damp grass.

	driveline. Includes slip clutch option when wings are conventional.
Cat. 2 wing drivelines	Reduces start-up torque that is put on the driveline, gearbox and gearbox support.

(Low lift standard)	soil very little, allowing blades to wear longer.
Others available thru parts dept.	Medium Lift - Medium suction for lifting grass. Requires less HP than high lift.
	High Lift - Greatest suction for lifting grass before cutting. Can take higher HP in tall
	dense grass. Not recommended in sandy soils.
