A 20-hp (14.9-kW) V-twin engine provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:
V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
Engine model M40
Electronic ignition for fast starts
Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for keeping the oil cleaner for a long engine life and extending the time between oil changes; the full-pressure lubrication system is also more effective when operating the tractor on an incline
Easy access to the no-tools oil drain valve for oil changes
Rear engine guard for protecting the engine and providing additional strength and integrity
Replaceable fuel filter and oil filter are easy to access and change to minimize service time and cost.
Get an even cut with the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep™ (42A) Mower Deck
The 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:
4.97-in. (12.6-cm) deep throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance
Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance
Mower deck suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut
Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level, help reduce scalping
0.25-in. (6.4-mm) cut-height increments allow the mower to be set at the desired cut height
Compatible with efficient 6.5-bu (230-L) two-bag cut-and-throw material collection system
EXCELLENT CUT QUALITY
Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
Reducing the amount of recutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
PRODUCTIVITY - GETS THE JOB DONE FAST
Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
Greatly improves the mower's capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
Cut-and-throw chute has a large, optimized inlet which aids in collecting material by using airflow from the large deck opening
