Gravely has introduced the 72-inch X-Factor II deck in its Pro-Turn Series of commercial zero-turn mowers. Available on both the Pro-Turn 200 and 400 Series, this deck was designed to create a higher quality cut and is up to 30% more efficient than previous 72-inch deck versions.
Most notably, the front wall of the new deck was pushed forward, creating more room for grass to travel without interfering with the flow of the blades. The roomier design moves debris more efficiently, allowing the machine to handle larger volumes of material while reducing blowout. Under the deck, rounded rear baffles reduce choke points while notched blades allow grass and air to flow more freely. With the increase in grass flow, a wider discharge chute was incorporated for more even dispersion.
The improved front deck wall profile, in conjunction with a larger adjustable blowout baffle, reduces the amount of blowout and aids in suction. By increasing suction, the deck pulls grass and debris into the deck so it isn’t blown out onto the operator.
