Features

• LARGE HOPPER CAPACITY: The large-capacity hopper (12 bushels, 112 gallons, 14.9 cubic feet) is tapered to allow the debris to dump easily.
• ALL-STEEL BLOWER ASSEMBLY: The all-steel blower assembly is driven by the cutter deck via a self-adjusting belt idler system, rather than an auxiliary engine. That means a more compact design, less maintenance, less initial cost, quieter operation and less overall weight. Thick, 1/4" fan-blade material ensures dependability and long life. Improved blower bearing features a stronger cast-iron housing and easier greasing for long, reliable service.
• AUTOMATIC DEBRIS SWEEPER: The patented auto-sweeper engages every time the dump lever is pulled. It pushes out any stubborn debris and ensures the hopper is clean. Being able to have the hopper completely empty maximizes productivity.
• CONVENIENT DUMP LEVER: The dump lever is mounted on the right side of the mower for operator convenience and comfort.
• FRONT COUNTERWEIGHTS: Front weight system is standard equipment. The front weights counterbalance the weight of the rear-mounted hopper. Each weight weighs 35 lb. The mounting bar weighs approximately 21.5 lb. (Number of weights depends on mower and catcher model.)
• HOPPER DOOR LATCHES: The hopper door latches automatically engage when the door is shut. This prevents the door from opening even when traveling on uneven, rough terrain.
• HOPPER PROP ROD: The hopper prop rod keeps the hopper door up and out of the way in case you need to get inside of the hopper.
• METAL DEBRIS SCREEN: The metal debris screen removes from the side of the hopper. This allows the operator to remove and clean the screen anytime it is necessary. Other designs require the rear door to be opened in order for the screen to be cleaned. This causes the operator to have to cease production and empty the hopper just to clean the screen. The Clam-Shell Grass Catcher debris screen can be cleaned at any time, without having to empty the hopper. The all-metal screen design is resistant to damage from debris as it enters the hopper; its flat design allows for easy cleaning.
• VERTICAL BLOWER DESIGN: Compact, vertical blower design adds only 8.5 inches to the width of the mower. That's less space than the discharge chute normally takes! The extremely durable, steel blower housing is angled at the bottom and front to prevent it from damaging uneven terrain. The blower fan is constructed of all steel—no light-duty plastic components. The blower fan is 12" in diameter with fan blades (4 blades total) that are 5.75" wide. It moves some serious grass, especially when compared to other "competitive" systems that only have 1.5"-wide fan blades.
