Grounds Maintenance
Mowing deck
Cub Cadet
The Select Cut System mowing deck features a sloped front skirt that increases the space between the deck and cutting blade. In the space, grass rebounds after the deck passes over and before it hits the cutting blade. The deck’s front skirt also features an adjustable leading edge, which, when raised or lowered, changes the deck’s vacuum strength. The unit’s removable inner baffle controls air flow and grass through the deck for even distribution of grass clippings. Four anti-scalp wheels also reduce turf defacing. In addition to an extended blade cutting edge, the unit is available with a Smart Jet deck washout system for washing grass and debris from under the deck.
