1-2 DESCRIPTION
The MP-172, (figure 1-1), is designed for turf
maintenance applications where a high quality
of cut on turf grasses is required.
Three sets of rotating blades (per deck) plus
the addition of three sets of mulching blades,
continue to cut the grass clippings several
times before allowing the tiny pieces to fall to
the ground. This eliminates a build up of
grass residue on top of the turf. The caster
wheel arrangement along with the flexible,
floating deck attachment, the standard front
mounted rollers and the under deck roller all
work together to give an even cut and mini-
mize scalping.
NOTE: All wheels on the mower deck are
rigidly mounted and are not designed to caste.
Power from the tractor is transmitted through
a telescoping driveline to a gearbox arrange-
ment. Power is passed to the spindle hous-
ings by a B-section, Kevlar reinforced belt.
Drive train protection is provided by belt slip-
page.
