Benefits
Counter blade rotation on center and
right-hand deck
Spreads grass clippings more evenly. Wing decks throw grass away from the rear
deck. Rear deck doesn’t get covered up or bogged down by cut grass. Prevents
robbing tractor horsepower.
5'-7" (1.7 m) Transport width
Meets most city/county codes for transport width.
6" (15 cm) Deck overlap
Eliminates skipping when going into a tight turn.
10'-11" (3.5 m) Cutting width
three 48" decks
Sized right for golf courses, cities, schools. Small decks give excellent flexibility.
Sleek frame design, including single
beam hitch and compact deck overlap
Design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows and skips.
AFM virtually becomes a zero turn mower. (Oversized tires may not allow this.)
Automatic transport wing locks
When wings are raised in the full transport position, the wings lock in place. No
need to get off the tractor to lock. Pull rope from tractor seat to un-lock.
Optional Hydraulic Transport Locks
Transport locks can be released easily from the tractor seat while operating the
same tractor control lever that folds and unfolds the mower decks.
Eliminates pulling a rope to release transport locks.
18" Transport tires with tapered roller
bearings
Transport tires offer smooth roading and less grass compaction. Allows grass to
stand up. Tapered roller bearings offer longevity.
Removable transportation tire spindles
Allows a spindle to be replaced by simply removing one bolt.
Back wheels on side decks in line with
transportation tires
Allows tighter turns without skips.
Zero turn radius
Sleek frame design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows
or skips. The AFM virtually becomes a Zero Turn Mower.
Rigid rear side deck tires.
Rigid wheel yokes holds hills and slopes better.
10" Solid rubber deck tires
Solid rubber won’t go flat.
Square tube gauge wheel arms
Gives the mower gauge wheel arms a great deal of “hidden” strength.
Low pivot points on deck
The lower the pivot points are to the ground, the more side to side swing, allowing
for excellent flotation from each deck.
Deflectors built into mower decks
Safety features meet ANSI standards. Many competitors use chains for protection.
Once chains are removed the unit does not meet ANSI specifications.
Rear discharge
Even dispersal, discharged items are aimed downward. No rear chains are needed,
which tend to clump damp grass.

with no protruding skid shoe
Helps protect trees and other obstacles.

seams
