Rear weights (UC13263) are required based on machine configuration. Must also order TCB10303, rear weight mounting bracket.
*Mower deck offset for trimming capability. Vehicle track width is 2 in. (5.1 cm) wider on the discharge side of deck. This may cause the tire to drive over uncut grass on discharge side of deck.
NOTE: These mower decks will not retrofit to F900 Series or F1145 Front Mowers.
Rotate for Service (RFS) feature provides access for cleaning and maintenance of the mower decks:
The Rotate for Service position also reduces the length of the machine for trailering.
Certification
TerrainCut Front Mowers comply with ANSI B71.4 safety certification.
The mower spindle housings are made of ductile cast iron.
Key benefits of ductile cast-iron spindle housings:

Tail-follows-the-trail trimming with 72-in. (183-cm) mower decks. Steered wheels (tail) stay within the path (trail) cut by the mower deck, allowing maneuverability without the rear of the machine contacting mowing obstacles.
Front mowers must be properly ballasted for both good performance and safe operation. Ballast requirements differ depending on the front mower model and the implement being used.
The chart below gives the minimum ballast requirements for the various product configurations. Additional ballast is recommended for operating on slopes or other conditions that may warrant it.
NOTE: Use only implements and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
