The Edge Cutting System
The Edge Cutting System has been trademarked to emphasize the advantages of the John Deere mower deck designs. They give superior mowing convenience, performance, and reliability:
- Deep-deck mower design lifts grass for a clean, even cut.
- Smooth underside of mower prevents grass buildup and evenly disperses grass clippings.
- The rolled outer edge of the deck provides extra strength and protection.
- Dual-stage E-coat and powder paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
The 54-in. (137-cm) Edge mower deck is a three-spindle, heavy-duty, 11-gauge, 0.120-in. (3-mm) steel deck with rolled edges for added safety and strength:
- Deck includes five anti-scalp wheels for a smooth mowing job, even in rolling terrain.
- Flexible discharge chute minimizes property and mower damage.
- A 6.5 bu (229-L) Power Flow™ material collection system is available.
- The mower comes with standard blades that work good when side discharging and when collecting material with the 6.5 bu (229-L) Power Flow material collection system.
