The caster wheel arrangement along with the flexi-
ble, floating deck and the standard front and rear
mounted rollers, all work together to give an even
cut and minimize scalping.
NOTE: The inside rear wheel on the wing mower
decks and both the front wheels on the rear mower
deck are rigidly mounted and are not designed to
caster.
Power from the tractor is transmitted through a
telescoping driveline to a gearbox arrangement
which allows either wing unit to be folded up to 30°
while still operating. Power is passed to the spindle
housings by a B-section, Kevlar reinforced belt.
Drivetrain protection is provided by belt slippage.
