The bullnose AirFX™ deck empowers you to deliver a cut above the rest. It features a deep-deck design that increases vacuum, lifting the grass to the blade for a superior quality of cut and professional finish. Its tough construction, including the spindle assemblies and air-gap baffle technology, stand up to the toughest commercial-grade workloads. The AirFX deck is available in two sizes, a 52-inch deck or 61-inch deck.

Bullnose Design

The robust bullnose design provides optimal durability while lifting the grass and increasing the vacuum effect.

Steel Fabricated Spindles

The AirFX deck's steel spindles deliver the hard-wearing, long-lasting durability you need for nonstop mowing productivity.

Adjustable Front Lip

The deck's adjustable front lip optimizes your cutting capability for all kinds of mowing conditions and grass types.

Deep-Deck Design with Patent-Pending Air-Gap Baffles

The deep-deck design and patent-pending Air-Gap baffles create powerful airflow throughout the cutting deck. This allows the cutting system to efficiently move the clippings out from the extra-large discharge chute and evenly disperse them on the ground or into the collection system. You can tackle tough mowing and get a cleaner deck at the end of the workday.
