The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.Versatility of MulchControl attachment makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situationsĬleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:.Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely.Even flow of material discharged out the chute, less re-cutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator.Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck.The depth of the Accel Deep Mower Deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck.Less need to clean and remove build-up of material from underside deck.Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without build-up of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings.Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service.

There are few places to catch and hold material on the top and underneath the deck.

The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:

When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desiredĬLEANLINESS - FOR THE MOWER AND THE OPERATOR.

When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States.

When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda.

Other times this could work as a disadvantage: This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material.

Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags.

Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns.

Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings.

Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
