Features | Benefits |
Counter rotation on left hand deck | Spreads grass clippings more evenly. Wing decks throw grass away from the rear |
| deck. Rear deck doesn’t get covered up nor does it get bogged down by cut grass. |
Narrow | Transport width allows unit to be transported with ease. |
4 1/2” Deck overlap | Eliminates blade skips when turning. Tighter turns can be made. |
Sleek frame design, including single | Design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows and skips. |
beam hitch and compact deck overlap | The AFM virtually becomes a zero turn mower. |
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 |
P27560SR Transport tires | Large Transport tires offer smooth roading and less grass compaction. Allows |
with tapered bearings | grass to stand up. Tapered roller bearings offer longevity. |
Removable transportation tire spindles | Allows a spindle to be replaced by simply removing two bolts. |
Back wheels on side decks even with | Allows tighter turns without skips. |
transportation tires |
|
Rigid rear side deck tires | Rigid wheel yokes holds hills and slopes better. Safer unit than the competition. |
Large deck flotation tires with sealant | Optional 15” tires for great flotation or 18” tires for even greater flotation. The larger |
| the tire the less compaction in pounds per square inch allowing grass to stand up. |
| 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. |
Deflectors built into mower decks | Safety features meet ANSI standards. Many competitors use chains for protection. |
| 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. |
Cat. 4 CV main driveline | Constant velocity main driveline allows for tighter turns without harming |
| driveline. |
Cat. 3 | Reduces |
Slip clutch protection | Guards against premature gearbox failure. Protects mower deck spindles. |
Heavy center gearbox mounting plate | Handles start up torque. |
Gearbox HP Rating | 65 - 100 HP |
Gearbox warranty | S/N 368187- one year on all gearbox components |
| S/N 368188+ 5 years on gearbox housing, gears and shafts, 3 years on bearings |
| and seals on gearbox. |
Easy to grease blade spindles | No guards to remove for routine greasing of blade spindles. |
Middle spindle sits towards the | Uses less horsepower and allows material to escape the mower deck easier. The |
back of the mower deck | discharge of the material is more even. Design eliminates windrowing. |
Spring loaded idlers | Applies constant tension to belt to run efficiently. |
Easy belt tension release | Easily release belt tension for changing belt or for winter storage. |
High blade tip speed | (18,498 fpm) Lifts the grass up for a clean cut and efficient discharge of material. |
| Tip rates as high or higher than the competition. |
Choice of Blade | Low Lift - Highly recommended in sandy soils where lifting isn’t crucial. Disturbs |
(Medium lift standard) | the 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. |
| Mulching - Perfect for leaf mulching. |
