John Deere The Edge� Cutting System 48-inch High-Capacity (HC) Mower Deck - BM23

John Deere The Edge� Cutting System 48-inch High-Capacity (HC) Mower Deck

The 48-inch high-capacity deck is stamped from heavy, 9-gauge, 0.150-inch (3.8-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside for reduced material buildup:

• Deep-deck design of 5.5 inch (140 mm) delivers excellent airflow, so material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
• Wider and higher discharge opening provides an even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
• Durable plastic deflector spreads grass clippings evenly across the lawn, is hinged, and can be raised to minimize the storage space required. 
• 1-inch (25-mm) cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength and supported by ball bearings.
• Front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow even cutting of tall grass.
• Blade overlap is 1.6 inch (40 mm), nearly 0.8 inch (20 mm) greater than many conventional decks, for a clean cut.
• Mower can side discharge or mulch
• A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy
• Hose connector is included with the mower deck
