Excellent cut quality
48A Mower Deck underside (similar mower from ZTrak™ Z300 shown)
Deep mower-deck forging 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.
- Exact Adjust deck-leveling system allows for easy and accurate leveling of the mower deck.
Productivity - getting the job done fast
Deep mower-deck forging 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 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
- The 48A Power Flow blower has an inlet housing with over 50 percent greater area than the 48X Power Flow blower used on previous machines.
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator
Left side of Accel Deep 48A Mower Deck
The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
- There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
- Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
- Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
- Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
- The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck:
- Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck
- Even for material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
- Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and MulchControl makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.
Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:
- The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.

Four-wheel power steering gives superior maneuverability and trimming ability
Four-wheel steering
Uncut circle with two- and four-wheel steering (shown on similar X390 and X394 Tractors)
Four-wheel steer trimming
NOTE: In the schematic above, the solid line shows the uncut circle of four-wheel steer tractor, and the dashed line shows a two-wheel steer tractor. When a four-wheel steer tractor is trimming, all four wheels track around the center of the uncut circle.
Four-wheel steering provides very significant maneuverability and trimming advantages over two-wheel-steering equipped tractors.
A smaller uncut area reduces, or even eliminates, the need to back up and reposition the tractor when trimming around trees and shrubs. An X584 Tractor with a 54-in. (137-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck has a 12-in. (30-cm) uncut circle radius, compared to 24-in. (61-cm) on the similar two-wheel steer X580 model.
Since all four wheels track around the object, the inside rear wheel doesn’t interfere with the object. For example, the rear wheel won’t drive into a flower bed.
The outside turning circle is reduced, making it possible to maneuver in small spaces.
Hydraulic power steering
Power four-wheel steering
Hydraulic power steering is standard equipment to maximize the benefits of four-wheel steering with both tight turns and easy steering:
- Provides effortless automotive-like control
- Reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity
- Offers a tight turning radius for optimum maneuverability
- Very easy and efficient trimming around objects
Designed for tight turns
The four-wheel steering system is designed for tight turns, leading to greater mowing efficiency:
-
Caster, camber, and kingpin angles are optimized to reduce effort, especially when going from straight ahead to a turn.
-
Steering geometry has been designed with the use of 3D modeling, so all four tires are working together.
-
Sealed ball bearings are used at the rear steering spindles to reduce friction.
-
Small scrub radius, less than 1 in. (2.54 cm) in the rear, reduces scuffing and bump-steer.
Hydrostatic transaxle has traction assist
Hydrostatic transaxle
Piston-type rotating groups
The integrated hydrostatic transaxle (IHT) encloses the hydrostatic pump and motor rotating groups in the same housing with the differential and axle housing:
- Very efficient piston-type design
- Fewer sealing surfaces to minimize potential for leakage
When combined with the foot controls, the hydrostatic transmission functions similarly to that of an automatic transmission in an automobile, so the term automatic is often used to describe it.
Key features of the drive system are as follows:
- Large pump and motor rotating groups for long life and efficient operation
- Full-length axle housings to support heavy loads
- Twin Touch™ foot control for easy and precise change of speed and direction
- Internal wet-disk brakes for long life and consistent operation
- Brake interlock system that returns the foot control pedals to neutral during panic stops
- Replaceable oil filter for extra protection for tractors equipped with hydraulic lift and steering
Replaceable filter (X580, X584, X590)
Freewheeling valve
Freewheeling valve
When it's inconvenient to start the tractor, a freewheeling valve releases the transmission so the tractor can be pushed a short distance. The freewheeling valve control is conveniently located on the tractor’s rear hitch plate.
Traction assist (differential lock)
Traction assist control
Traction assist is standard equipment:
- Traction assist supplies positive power to both drive wheels for increased traction.
- Foot-operated traction assist control is convenient for the operator to use, when needed.
MulchControl™ system provides superior mulching performance and rapid conversion
Lever-action MulchControl lever (shown on 48A mower deck)
Electric one-touch MulchControl switch
The optional MulchControl system makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
- Creates a beautiful looking lawn
- Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
- Reduces fertilizer needs
- Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- No need to dispose of bags of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle open (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)
MulchControl baffle closed (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- The MulchControl handle, or an electric one-touch actuator, is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
- For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- For operators who collect clippings but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.
Electric one-touch MulchControl
Electric one-touch MulchControl systems shift the MulchControl baffle using an electric actuator that is operated by a dash-mounted switch.
Electric one-touch MulchControl switcht
Electric one-touch MulchControl actuator (shown on 54A mower deck)
Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it possible to change between modes:
- When approaching driveways or flower beds where clippings would be undesirable
- When a breeze blows clippings back onto the operator
- For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too thick for mulching
- With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, for collecting only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching
MulchControl limitations
While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired
- 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute
When bagging with MulchControl on a 48A or 54A mower deck, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower runs without material when the baffle is closed.
Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks
When bagging with MulchControl on a 42A mower deck, the cut-and-throw rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades. However, the rear MulchControl baffle (A) needs to be removed to install the bagger chute. The baffle is held in place with two carriage bolts. To return to mulching, the chute needs to be removed and the baffle replaced.
MulchControl compatibility
Each MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed: baffles, mulch blades, a handle (lever action attachments) or an actuator, wiring, and switches (electric one-touch attachments).
